I came back from the the church on Sunday only to see my apartment rummaged. My gas cylinder that I just filled, my new electric iron that is still intact in the packet, my new stainless vacuum cup, aso ebi 2 each 6 yards and Polish and brush were all carted away.

What really surprised me is my key being intact and no sign of break and enter from any part of the apartment.

Air of mystery still surrounds how my apartment was robbed.

I want to go and just drop statement with the police. Hope that one will be welcomed? Guys I need your contributions. I just packed in there. It's somewhere opposite Lagos Business School along Lekki Epe express way

Bro same happend to me in 2016 December. I changed the keys of the house and I had just stayed in the house for 3months or less. My laptop was carted away and there was no single sign of breaking-in into my apartment. I'm still trying to figure out the way the larceny occured.
So sorry or your loss.

My advice: Move out of that apartment when your rent expires or if you can afford it soon enough before it expires. Do not buy any expensive items home again.


The thief might have come in through the ceiling. Probably someone that has been so familiar with the structure of the house. It's always someone around.

Hang out with the thugs in the area..they might get info




Excerpt from 2pac's Dear Mama ( I hang around with the thugs. Even though they sold drugs..they show young brother love.)

It's a very good choice you made. Keep on hanging around them until they hang trouble on your neck, only then will you learn that "the company you keep determines what accompanies you".

Experience they say is the best teacher!

Lol. There's an uncle of mine, very educated and exposed. Each time I went to visit him, those thugs in his street will hail him while passing by, me will be wondering what's this man relationship with this smelling thugs, he will check his pocket and give them something at the end of the day. So, one day, i asked him what's his relationship with the thugs, he told me that they have their great usefulness that if anything wants to happen, they fit alert you. He owns a phone shop then, na so one day, the thugs hinted him about the planned burgle of his shop that night, that's how he got two night guards from another street to help him keep watch that night. The burglars came truthfully that night and they were caught. Later when I entered street too, I realized thugs dey get information for hand.

Do not be surprised that those who gave him info and those who went to burgle the shop are in the same circle of robbery.

Did you change the lock handed over to you by your landlord/landlady before moving in?

They always have extra key to each tenant room /flat.

You sound smart to dumb people . you can't say the agent is behind it. You don't know that for sure..that's the issue with Nigerians today.bearing false witness and putting people in trouble that's like a policeman stopping you and saying because you are black and ugly ,u must be behind a robbery that just occurred as witnesses said the suspect was black and ugly
Your point is?

Its advisable to always change the lock to your apartment when you move in newly
I don't dispute that, quote me right. He wants to know who burgled his home. Finding out who did and taking preventive measures to forestall future occurrence are not the same.

Check all the burglaries very well you will probably see a part missing. I v experienced similar situation b4... Just one bar was removed from the window. Net was neatly cut flushed with the angle of the window that at a glance you will not see it.
Re: My Apartment Was Robbed In A Very Mysterious Way! by Hopeful123: 6:32pm On Dec 27, 2019
I'm surprised no one has asked you to check your windows burglary proof steel rods. Are they all completely intact? Do you live downstairs?

There have been reports of burglars cutting those rods on the burglary proof without making any sound and passing through it. I did not take it seriously until a friend of mine became a victim and I saw the cut rod with my own eyes. They were even at home when they cut the burglary proof without any sound ( only God knows what chemical they used to cut it). They took laptops, money, TV and then theyy passed through the now open burglary. Just a rod was removed and it was wide enough to allow a man and items to pass through.

Check all windows burglary if any rod is missing. That might have been their way in and out.

Ah ah grin grin grin. Now I see you already asked.

It is a common knowledge on the mainland now. Any room anyone is not occupying at anytime people now ensure to lock the windows. And if you are going out lock all windows. Locking doors only is no longer enough. Forget fence with barb wire, it doesn't stop those guys.

Sundays are usually quiet because most people go to church and that is when burglars like breaking into houses to rob,that has been the case around where I stay. So for my house we devised this useful tips and it has been helpful. Before we leave for church,we turn on the radio and increase the volume, making it look like someone is home, of course any burglar who hears the radio blasting would assume we are home. If you don't have light, buy this battery operated radio,it serves the same purpose.

And if a friend or relative comes looking for you at home... ?

Also consider that someone can get into your apartment through the ceiling. Especially if there is another flat attached to yours.

Recently, a young boy went with his friends (gang) to rob the flat attached to his aunt's own. he did this when both his aunt and her family and the neighbours had gone to church.

Rule number 1 change the locks of all major entrances before you pack in. I will advise you dont suspect anybody without tangible proof, count your losses and move on.
All it takes for a blacksmith to replicate your key, is just the sample. This guys can press your key against a bar of soap, and thats all.

Rule 2, don't fail to regard the street hoodlums, I normally buy plenty booze and smoke occasionally for the area boys for my hood, my wife frowns at it. I reminded her that a day will come when she will begin to appreciate their usefulness. the street code, even thief go loyal die, if you know what to do.

And the day did come, my son was ill so she left for hospital late, while she was returning around 11pm, she did a bad reverse in a lonely road, and ended up in a gutter. She was scared to the teeth, small time some boys just fall out, she overhead saying na boss wife be this, they helped her push the car out and even gave her some cover. Now even she don dey follow dash them money.

If you just moved in and you didn't change the locks, it might possibly be someone that had access to the apartment previously. Just change the locks; and like someone suggested, pally with thugs in the area and you might just get the info you need to nail the thief.
I remember, in 2013, when I was away and my wife had to go stay with her sister, when I returned and brought her and my baby back, we got robbed 2 days later. When some boys in the hood (who I usually greet and sometimes buy drink and bazz for) heard about it, they came back to tell me exactly what my police friend later confirmed when the robbers were caught.

Follow this advice Mike!

END OF THREAD!

This is why CCTV is an important gadget in this 21st century.
It's a must,
To combat crimes like this.

I swear I'm up for CCTV any day.
That shyte can even capture a ghost.
When criminals see the sign 'CCTV in operation' they tend to avoid your space cos they know it will be a risky exercise in futility.
They will be caught eventually, with evidence.

Oga, CCTV is not for someone living in a One Room Apartment or Self Content Apartment.
If you fix the Camera, where will the machine be?
The criminal will take your property and steal the CCTV Machine join.

When you move into an apartment new or old...

Rule No. 1 Change the locks of the main door!
Rule No. 2 Locate the nearest apiam way...
Rule No. 3 Make friends with the nearest aboki or petty traders around, they will tell you the secret of the area
Rule No. 4 Never move into a neighborhood that you become a spotlight, especially having the biggest and best ride. It easily gives you away.
