Life in Eton Hell is not as peaceful as before. Two thefts happened in one month’s time. The first one happened in my room, 108. The second one happened in Room 106.
Several weeks ago, in my room, Xuan Xiaodong’s wallet was stolen. Before the wallets appeared, all of us thought that the wallet was lost. In our eyes, it was just an accident. However, when Cheng Jianpeng was combing his hair, he suddenly found that the wallet was right under his pillow. This triggered a heated discussion. We began to state our opinions about who stole the wallet. After the debate, we reached an agreement. It was someone among us who stole the wallet. Although the wallet was found, 150 dollars were missing. At last, Xiaodong decided not to report to the police. He thought this could ruin a person’s life.
However, in Room 106, a Dell black notebook was stolen this Tuesday. This was quite strange because Xuezhe (But he was sleeping) had been in the room. There were three laptops which could be seen on the desks in the room. It is said that the Dell was the best. On Tuesday evening, Room 106 spared no efforts to find the laptop. Alas, miracle did not happen. They broadcast, “Anyone who finds the Dell, please return it to the reception desk.” Still, nothing happened. At last, they reported to the police. This time, there will be a hard time for the thief (or thieves).
I am wondering who had done the thefts. Many of us think that the thefts are done by someone in the same room. If this was true, there would absolutely be a sensation. And the thief could be deported. However, should we give a chance to him? From my point of view, he shall be punished by law. Sometimes, condoning does not work but indulges crime. It is time to punish the thieves.

i have heard such things a few days before. it leads to a heated discussion and some gossips among us. i am really shocked when heard it, as i thought singapore was a very safe country. anyway, it is hard to say who is the chief because the room in ground floor is quite easy to break in from the window. we have done that when we left our key in the room before. perhaps, more hints should be find to detect the chief. it should be some unusual thing happened that day, no matter how unimportant it was. just think over the case logically. before the chief was condemned, we had better take care of our things carefully.
ReplyDeletei feel sorry for the unfortunate one who lost his computer.
Generally speaking, Singapore is a safe place. However,
ReplyDelete“Low crime is not equal to no crime.” In addition, we are very young and sometimes we do things impulsively.
In my opinion, we should care for our own belongings. It is an action to respect ourselves, as well as to respect others. This is the most important thing.
