My House Was Burgled by mesoprogress(m): 4:40am On Aug 01, 2016
Yesterday my house was burgled while in the church. On coming back from the church, I found out the gate was locked from inside which is unusual. We had to scale the fence. On entering the house, whole rooms were turned upside down. Laptops, tablets, jewelry and phones were stolen. They cut the protector in the kitchen and gained entrance.

I reported to police. I dare say we don't have police or security in Nigeria. They did zero investigation, asked me if I have anybody in mind, etc so that they can make arrests. If I asked them to arrest all the guys on that street, they would have done so! Of course, bail money go dey. I wanted them to do at least some investigation, which wasn't done. They asked me to get a photographer to take pictures of the scene!

What broke my heart was that these guys stole four external drives, kept in different places! All my data of eight years was lost. My latest hard drive 2T has information of the previous hard drives. I always back up my data in different drives. They took everything! Main one and all my back ups! It's really very painful. All my job projects, pictures (weddings, etc), etc lost.

I would gladly give these guys money to get my data back. Anyway, I leave them to God.

4 external hard drives were stolen? The police is quite right to ask if you have someone on mind. This is not just a random/regular robbery......... Sorry for your loss man. I hope you recover it all.

@modelmike, stealing ext HDD does not necessarily imply the burglars were after info that may be in it. If they know what a laptop is, then they should know what an ext HDD is for, and they also know they can easily sell it for quick cash.
They would have ransacked the entire house, searching for money and other valuables when they found the hard drives.
The painful part of the incident is the police. Zero attitude to investigation or even going through the motions. Reporting an incident to the police has become a mere formality. Its a precaution one needs to take, just in case.
I'm just wondering if the building was kind of isolated. Being a Sunday morning, neighbors ought to have heard the noise from the break-in

thanks. I have suspects but I don't want them to arrest random bad guys who will disturb me later. If they were willing to question, not arrest some of them. I have a prominent suspect, but it will require following him under cover to recover the stuff not arresting without evidence

We lack the CSI treatment because we ( the government) do not see the introduction of forensic Labs across the country as important.

Burglary incidents has very much increase with the Economic down turn, many have taking to crime, for instance, in my town it is on a daily basis and i believe it is the same thing all over the nation.
I advice people to be careful bringing in people into the house in the name of repair men, some are criminals in disguise. Am stating this out of experience.

Sorry for your lost, i pray the police make some progress with on going investigations.
