Not a good day in school!

I went to school today and just like every other day I was the first one there. But today was a bit different. I didn’t drive to work... since my sister and her family is down in KL my brother in law dropped me off and sent my car for servicing. School normally starts at 8am, the other teachers comes in before 7.45am but I’m always there by 7.10 am. As usual… I open the locks, all the doors and windows downstairs.. boil some water to make coffee, toasted my bread and waited for the other teachers to come. That’s my daily routine.

When the maid arrived and noticed the air-con casing at the back…with all the cables cut, she asked me if it was ok to throw those things away. When I saw it, I knew something was not right. I looked up and I noticed the air-con was removed. I didn’t want to go back inside, I was scared to go upstairs to check if everything was ok.. I was scared if there might be someone still inside. I went up still… I checked all the rooms and only one was in a mess. I noticed the 2 air-cons were removed and the radio was gone too.

The rest of the teachers arrived around 7.30am. We checked every where, there were other things missing too other then the 2 old air-con, radio and a ladder. How ever the thief’s forgot to take the TV, VCD player, DVD player, Stereo, 3 other brand new Air-cons. Weird isn’t it?... they had way in.. And yet didn’t take anything useful!

Anyhow, we suspect it was the 2 Indonesian workers that did a paint job for the school about 2 months ago. They could have duplicated the keys to the school that was hanging on the wall. Other then the teachers the 2 workers knew were the keys to the emergency exit door was, coz they opened the door when they were painting the rooms. They found the key that was placed next to the emergency exit. They must have made a duplicate key of that too.

They must have come in from the back.. where the playground was, they dug a whole and cut the fences. They had the keys to open the locks… then walked through the front door and came out the same way and locked the doors! I didn’t notice anything different when I came in… the doors were all locked and there were no signs of a break in. I’m terrified because I’m normally the first one to arrive and opens up the school, everybody else comes in after 20 minutes. This month alone there were cases where some of the locks were opened… we though the maid forgot to lock them but she claims she did. This thing has been playing in my mind for some time… I don’t think I want to come to school so early anymore!
