由我家遭到入室搶劫所想到的

我家住在DC附近. 可以說是一個比較好的小區了. 6月初大白天遭到入室搶劫. 丟了3台手提電腦, 現金若幹,還有一點金銀細軟. 大概價值20K吧. 瞧瞧我, 屋漏又逢連夜雨. 丟就丟了吧. 但是通過這件事我想了很多,
1. 這美國家家都是大玻璃窗, 小偷都不用帶工具, 打破窗戶就進來了.那像中國, 家家都是1米多厚的防盜門, 防盜窗, 雖然中國小偷還是有辦法,不過至少給他的工作增加一下難度. 我想了, 如果我炒房再不賺錢, 我就改賣防盜門了, 說不準我就一不小心就變成美國防盜門大王, 那時候我也有錢了, 也雇兩個粗使丫環, 一個菲傭, 一個拉丁美洲的, 也享受享受富人的生活.
2. 美國的經濟真的不好了, 我老公家在美國住了200百多年了, 都沒有經曆過入室搶劫, 我們家之前常常連門都不鎖.這麽一看,美國的經濟是夠疲軟的, 誰想當小偷啊, 還不是找不到工作, 賺不到錢嗎, 這我這麽炒房再不賺錢,被不準我也下海了呢. 這誰也不怨,就怨奧巴馬沒能力啊.
3. 被盜原因, 我和我老媽在家裏分析, 這怎麽就咱們家被盜了呢,我們家剛搬過來兩年呢.鄰居都住了50多年了,怎麽就沒有遇到過呢? 我媽非常氣憤地說, 都怪你, 一天竟穿名牌, 三脫四換的. 我說媽, 你可真能怨, 我那名牌哪一個是真的, 我那買過真名牌啊, 哪有哪個閑錢啊. 我媽說了, 那人家怎麽知道那是真的還是假的啊. 哎,我一想, 我媽這樸實無華的話還真有道理啊. 這美國假名牌哪裏有中國的那麽普及, 那麽深入人心啊, 這在中國, 就連我們鄰居張大媽早晨買油條還手提一LV的小包呢, 我上次回國一看, 嚇一跳, 忙過去搭訕, 我說, 大媽, 您這小包也太前衛了, 挺貴吧, 人家張大媽, 說了, 是有的貴, 她要30, 我最後25買的, 人家說是A貨. 我當即迎合, 我說大媽, 您這比真的還真呢, 大媽聽了心情甚爽 , 高低請我吃了兩根老油條. 話說回來了, 這也不能怪美國的小偷, 平時美國人也沒有幾個用假名牌, 所以也沒給人家機會去提高分辨能力啊.
還有什麽呢? 再想想再寫吧.
所以您就得聽我的, 堅決不買真貨
我家的門常常被孩子們不鎖
you mean your kids often don't lock the door? or leave the door unlocked often? i know what you meant though.
"Why no 'home alarm service' in your family? we have that in everyone's house in our neighborhood, it is linked to local policy or security company. They will call you ASAP if someone enter the house through broken window or door"
but the thing is, police act very slowly, especially in big city, police are very busy. The quickest the police can get to your house is about 10-15 min. (that is the quickest), the slower one can take up to 45 min. to 1 hour. And those burgurlars know that. They act quickly. in 10-15 min. they can scoop up whatever and leave. And you can not get home in 10-15 min. unless you have a neighbors who are home and who can come over right away. But if the burgarlars are there, nobody would feel safe to go in, usually people just call police.
property insurance will help recover the loss. And for prevention, i think the thick steel/iron doors and windows with bars may be the best choice.
The home alarm system with door and window signs can serve the purpose of "warnings". But for despertae burgarlars or someone who has make you a "target", home alarm doesn't help much. but it is better than nothing. At least, police will come AFTER the burgury take place and help secure the scene, to prevent second burgury. very sad that everywhere is getting so unsafe.
最可憐的是我這手無縛雞之力的女人,無力搶和強,如果沒錢了怎麽活啊?
一般隻有Condo才有門衛,SFH小區一般沒有,50多年的就更不會有了。
