Dear Residents

I went to Carrefour Subang Jaya with the family on Monday 26/10/2009 at about 8.00pm to get a quick dinner remembering that a few weeks back someone reported to SJ Alert EMS that her car was broken into whilst she was there. I parked the car very close to the 3rd floor entrance as I normally do, I don't just park in any available parking space and most times I would even wait for such parking space to become available.

See all the pictures here

Having found what I thought was a safe enough place (four cars away and facing the entrance), I thought nothing of leaving my Computer & Digital cameras in the car. These items were well hidden behind the driver's seat. It was not possible to see inside the rear of the car as I have very heavy tints and sun shades that permanently covered the rear windows. We went our merry way, thinking that since the period at Carrefour would be very short it would be okay,

We finally did not have Dinner at Carrefour and returned to the car at around 9.15pm to find that the rear driver's window of my car was smashed and items inside removed. I will post the pictures that I took with my mobile phones at a later date when my Computer system is purchased.

See all the pictures here

What I lost
These are the Material things that were stolen
1. Dell Vostro Notebook (Service Tag No.D94FS1S / Express Service Code: 288-498-206-08) which I was bringing home to re-install Windows Vista Business together with all the original CDs, external Hard Disks, My Internet Banking Security Cards and Internet Banking Dongles, etc...
2. A Canon 7.1 Megapixel Compact Digital Camera and
3. My newly purchased (02/10/09) Pentax Digital SLR Camera (Serial No. 3166127147442) & Lens (Serial No.6501617147392)., including a few hi capacity SDHC Cards and other photographic accessories... I was to use the camera the next day to take pictures of the various proposed LRT sites to highlight at the www.lrttosubangjaya.blogspot.com website so that residents have a better perspective when they submit their comments and feedbacks.

Total cost of my carelessness: RM6,000.00

What is not so easy to replace
What I also lost was 20days of my working life (according to my last full backup of my Hard Disk), these included almost all the emails and files that I used to setup the LRT to Subang Jaya/USJ Website, SJ Alert members registration and other work related research and more than 2500 pictures I took with the new camera during my recent overseas trips.

Consolation
There was a witness who saw the incident (he works as a promoter at Carrefour). He said that as he was parking his car at about 8.45pm, he noticed a small sized Chinese looking guy reaching into and removing things from my car and immediately ran to a waiting motorcycle upon been spotted. This witness says he is able to identify the criminal and that he was willing to help the Police and Carrefour to spot the crook if he should decide to return to do his dirty deed again..

My apologies
I am sorry that I have added to the crime statistics in Subang Jaya, that I am one very careful person with regards to ensuring that there are no opportunities for crime to happen actually amounts to nothing. I suppose you can say that no one is immune to Crime, we can only always remember to be vigilant to prevent it from happening..I have been dispensing advice as if I was some expert in Crime prevention sadly I have been brought down to earth.

Remedial Action
Together with Mr. Teoh of SJ Echo, we approached the management of Carrefour Subang Jaya the very next day. And after a long discussion with Mr. Antoine Gerrier - the Store Director, Mr. Micheal Chang the Security Officer in the presence of Ms Kumutha Veeriah the Customer Care Manager, we have been assured that Carrefour Subang Jaya will dispense their Corporate responsibilities by taking immediate steps to prevent another such incident from happening in their premises and to their customers, these steps include::

1. Brightening all Car Park areas in Carrefour Subang Jaya
2. Installing CCTV around the Car park areas with clear indications to would-be criminals that the area is CCTV monitored
3. Increased regular patrols by their security personnel

all these to be implemented within 2 weeks from the date of our meeting. We have also been invited by Mr. Antoine Gerrier to make a joint inspection together with the Police that the needful has been done.
By the way Antoine is now a member of SJ Alert.

Crime prevention is a shared responsibility.... there I go again, dispensing advice, sorry..

And YES a Police report was made.

Regards
Robert

House Break-in at USJ23/5A on 22/01/2009 during the day

Dear Residents

There was a house break-in closer to home yesterday. A corner house along USJ23/5A was broken into during the day.

I want to highlight to you guys some details

1. we are a gated and guarded community.
2. there was a fierce dog "unleashed" and guarding the house.
3. there was an alarm system (but sadly it was not turned on).
4. the last time a house was broken into at USJ23 was back in November 2003

These robber/s were professionals at work, they cut the alarm wires (they did not know that the alarm system was not turned on), hacked in from the back side entrance, - they even used the laundry left out to dry as cover, broke the interior doors and ransacked the whole house.

As you can imagine cash and jewellery were taken, nothing else - (sorry about this KK I am sure there was). Passports, air tickets, Aussie $ Bank Draft and personal documents were left untouched which would indicate that these robber/s are educated enough to know what is of value.

This is yet another reminder that we must not be complacent even if we think that we have taken all the necessary precautions to safe guard our home and properties, especially during these hard times.

Every effort helps in the prevention of Crime, Alert Residents, Alert Neighbours, Alert Guards and Alert Police.

So if you are going away this coming festive period inform your neighbours and make sure you register for the Balik Kampung - Rumah Selamat Campaign.

Crime Prevention is a shared Responsibility

Increased Crime in USJ for November 2008

Increased Crime in USJ for November 2008
Please be more careful and cautious. Crime rate for USJ area increased in November to 112 cases, up by 15% from October's 97 cases. Snatch theft was up from 2 to 10 cases and robberies by more than one person without firearms was up from 11 to 21 cases. We hope fellow residents will take note and call the police immediately on sighting of any suspicious characters. Tuan Foo is currently on leave but you may call his deputy Sub Inspector Tuan Amir at 012 2713294. Any slightest information can be useful. For instance, you manage to spot say a getaway Camry car with number ending with 9. Another victim may note a similar Camry car with number starting with 4. The police can then at least piece such information together to look out for a Camry with number starting with 4 and ending with 9, rather than just a Camry with number ending with 9! Got the picture? Take care.

Please take note that these stats are from the Balai Polis USJ only.

=============================================

Dear Residents

Please also be informed that USJ2, USJ3, USJ6 and USJ11 continue to have high instances of Snatch theft and House break-in.

If you are living in these areas, please take extra precautions to prevent such crimes from happening. Report immediately to the Police any suspicious happenings in your precinct.

Police advice that even attempted crimes should be reported to them.

Hi, I am the new member of this SJ Alert group. I just come across this group & would like to join as victim. My apartment at Goodyear Court 7 was broken in on 3/11 when we were out to work. They broken in from my grill door & also broken my nyatoh wooden door. They ransacked all the rooms wardrobe, drawers & the toilet ceiling. They also tear the wall paper at the back of the photo. I had lost my valuable jewelleries given by my mother.

I believe they are same gang of peoples who will always come during raining because that day was also raining.

We also suspect the thief is insider because they seem to be familiar with our thing and schedule very well.

Hoping that the police can able to catch this gang of people as I feel not safe to stay at my own apartment which I have been staying for more than 10 years.

Janet

Dear Ngo f,

Yes, this happen to my house also in USJ14/1C is around 12 to 2pm afternoon the time they break into my house. That time also heavy rain they cut my gate padlock and my main door grile plus broken my nyatoh wooden door. My neighbour on my left, right and front on that time they are all at home but they said they didn't hear anything but rain and thunderstom. I believe it should be the same gang that break into your house and they will only strike when it is heavy rain.

So when ever is heavy rain please do look outside our neighbour house to prevent any break-in. Normally when there is rain we will close our window and door tide and don't bother to look outside.
