So on the 27th of september and less than a week before leaving Hong Kong I have a break in in my Shatin City One apartment. 2 laptops including bag was stolen. One is a brand new lg worth 14980 hkd. The other one is a 2 year old acer centrino based system.
The thief first entered the estate perimeter, kicked down a large metal door (made out of aluminium, clever huh?), crawled up to the third floor, removed bathroom metal (aluminium) security, walked in and stole 2 laptops and locked my main door from the inside. Then climbed out and did the same thing to my neighbours apartment and left the block perimeter without anyone noticing anything. it has to be said that the internet cord was sticking out of the window all the way down to the ground but no one noticed even security is supposed to patrol the area.
After alerting the security they seem rather clueless about what to do and although they notice the cord they didnt notice that the door was crashed. They even told me it was already broken or something similar (communication was a problem).
I have no insurance so my loss exceeds 20k hkd. It pissed me off that the security is so bad in my building and that management doesnt install better security. I mean whats up with all the aluminium? Why dont they put up doors made of chokolate instead?
Why did no secvurity personel see the cord hanging from the window in the 2 pm to 10:30 pm window where the break in took place? I just dont get it. The incompetence I am faced with in Hong Kong at times makes me feel hopeless for the human race.
I want to sue the management for security neglectance. Obviously the area hadnt been patrolled and the door might have been defect. Also the light was broken. Also how could an unauthorized person get into the area at all?
I hope someone can tell me if I should go to small claims tribunal and make a case against the management.
Thanks in advance.
