    Hi Friends,

    I have recently moved into a ground floor apartment in Westmead (in border of Wentworthhville). On the first night of moving, there is a break-in/burglary in the new apartment. I'm Shocked to the core...nerve-wrecking experience.
    Did a police report and all, everyone is saying...they won't come back, it's a one-off incident etc. But, I'm pretty much on the edge always, can't sleep properly at night!!

    Any ILite living in the same area?? Did any of you face this kind of experience before??
    Can you please advise me with some security/safety tips???

    Is that area safe for walking in the evening from train station?

    Please share your knowledge and information. I'll be so very greatful!!

    Thanks guys.

    Hi Sundust,

    I have too heard of such incidents.. The precautions that we take is
    Do not walk alone after it is dark
    I generally avoid gold ornaments
    Do not expose that you have too much valuable things at home
    Do not keep the navigator in the car .. the people who break the car or garage look for small amount for their drugs

    Hi Sundust,

    Even we are in the process of shifting to Wentworthville, close to westmead border. We had heard of these incidents before and what people have generally passed on is to avoid wearing too much of gold jewellery....

    How r u feeling now? Which street do u live in

    Hina
