When thieves raided neighbour’s kitchen

A bunch of thieves broke into our neighbour’s house at midnight. The funny part was that they were all dressed in red underwear. I wondered how they planned the “operation”. Wonder why they chose the outfit!

The couple heard noises at the back door and were shocked to find the thieves in their kitchen. They screamed. Not to mention it scared the thieves. They jumped over the wall of the layout and disappeared into the dark night.

So far, it seems they did the right thing. Anyone would have done the same. It must have been a terrifying experience.

However, the couple did not inform the neighbours or the police. They thought the thieves got away and that there was no point in disturbing the neighbours. The police had a different story to tell next morning.

The thieves did not return to their homes after escaping from their house. They went to another house that night. They threatened the elderly couple in that house and looted the house. They stuffed all the stolen items into a Maruthi van waiting on the road and then took off. They didn’t harm the couple though.

The police said a complaint from them would have alerted the police, who could have easily caught the thieves. Do we realize how our actions can affect others?
