A group of us went to Damansara Uptown for lunch yesterday, a new colleague in tow. Boss had suggested we bring her along and she’d offered to drive. She parked along the Maybank row, up near the petrol station end.
When we got back, her car had been broken into. They’d stolen her stereo, her Touch n’ Go card and her office briefcase (no laptop though). They’d left the cash, around RM10, but they’d destroyed her air-conditioning in the process of removing the stereo.
We later found out they’d pried open her bonnet, snipped her car alarm wiring and opened her car door and boot. They even locked the doors after they were done. It was her first day at work. We felt awful.
I commented on how neat the job had been – no smashed windows, everything looked fine from the outside… Then MA pointed out the number of car workshops in the vicinity. Would a worker really do something like this? Is this common in Damansara Uptown?
uptown is notorious but…. LUNCH? wow!
ya… 2pm, broad daylight, right in the middle of the street!
