Caught!

Those of u who have read my "shoutout" on MSN wld have an inkling of what hap, like i was telling Mangojo it was a rather dramatic Friday nite and my colleague, GRL n Dar's bro n sis were all v shocked abt wat hap.

It all started with me looking for my black tube dress on Thurs morning and as I cldn't find it, I asked my maid abt it and told her to help me look for it when I have gone for work. @ that moment, I did not suspect anything. I then went to my shoe cupboard intending to wear my URS sandals which I bought a while ago but never wore, but I cldn't find them too! I again called for my maid and she started showing me all my other pink shoes which were NOT the pair I wanted & frustrated, I asked her if she took them and she told me she didn't. Pissed, I had no choice but to wear another pair to work (which eventually broke on me! ARRGH!!!)

On Fri am, my dad asked her about my shoes (realised she took at least 3 pairs!!!) & dress, she had e nerve to tell my dad that @ times, I do give my stuff away thereby implying that I cld have given them away but I told my Dad that I did not give my shoes away. I was so pissed that i told my Dad that i wana bring her to the police station that nite but we were "handicapped" as the agent could not house her (like what crap is dat rites???)after we have brought her to the station n we didn't exactly want her in the house after that. We then changed her air ticket so that she would leave us the next day. We were pondering whether to check her stuff that nite since I won't be around the next morning as I was working but we also didn't expect to find anything. and Thank goodness we did coz we caught her red-handed!!!

Before we checked her stuff, we again asked her if she had taken anything fr us, be it my Dad's money, my grandma's money or my stuff but she kept denying vehemntly. So we told her that if we find anything in her luggage we were gona call the police. Initially I was the only checking thru her stuff coz it was mostly clothes n thus not so convenient for Dar n Daddy to help. Then dunno why, Dar said 2 check e cupboard in her rm n we found another luggage under her bag which she did not take out!!! Whilst going thru that particular luggage, WE FOUND MY JEWELLERY HIDDEN IN THE NIVEA LOTION BOTTLE!!! N get this, she was still v calm when Dar shook the bottle n asked me to listen to it. She only lunged forward when she saw Dar opening the bottle to empty the contents. And when my earrings came out, she said she bought them; when the pendent my parents bought me for my 21st bday came out, she said I threw it away!!! Gosh!!! Needless to say, we called the police and she was subsequently taken away.

The whole saga lasted about 4 hours!!! N @ 1 point in time, she screamed, ran in2 the rm n tried 2 lock herself in. We dunno if she was goin 2 jump out of the window or like the police officer said she was juz looking for a chance to do something. So they had to handcuff her to the chair, n we had 2 close all the windows & doors whilst the police investigated. U all wldn't believe it, but she had like 6-7 sets of handphones that even the police officer was shocked!!! She also had a lot of old watches w her which she claimed that pp threw away n she picked them up!!! Got so lucky or nots??? We suspected that maybe her other frens stole from their employers also and they exchanged.

Actually I do feel a bit guilty n sorry for her coz afterall I am putting someone to jail. But then again to think about it, it is not as though we have not given her chances; Daddy himself gave her many chances when he found out that she has stolen from him n before we checked the bag, we kept asking her if she took anything fr us and yet she denied. And when we found my jewellery, she still said that she bought them or that I threw them away and she also refused to admit that she took my dad's money when the police officer asked her. Also, when the police took her away, she did not even apologise to us, n was instead more interested in her clothes that were still in the toilet!!! Dar was also commenting that she didn't even cry and was still v defensive when the police asked her questions. So my GRL was telling me, no point feeling guilty or sorry... but still... haiz...

Haf a bit of phobia of maids now... n also worried that she may do or have already done some black magic on us or something (i actually found strands of hair tied up in knots n then tied in a cloth!) or that she had duplicated the hse keys or something. Having sleepless nites n thnking that my home which was sup to be my haven doesn't seem soo safe anymore...
