Pissed!!!!

Last Friday evening, as I was on the way out from the office building, I was dumbfounded when I discovered that all my money in my purse was gone. I panicked and my friend who was next to me saw how I was looking frantically all over my handbag and purse. She kept asking me what’s wrong??? Are you okay?? My face was pale…oh gosh RM200 plus all gone and there was no single bill in my purse. Damn!! The last time I saw my money was when I was withdrawing money from the ATM machine and paying for lunch after that.

I was cursing and swearing the whole weekend trying to remember when it happened and whether I could have misplaced the money. No way, the money was definitely in my wallet and I am sure I saw the notes and I did leave my purse in the drawer under my desk. Someone must have taken the money when I left the desk for some errands. I didn’t lock my drawers and that I admit was a BIG mistake. I normally lock when I leave for meetings etc. But on that particular day I didn’t lock because in my mind I was only going off for short time frames i.e a few minutes to the ladies, photocopier, to my colleagues’ cubicles. After 10 years with this organization, this is the FIRST for me and I just feel like strangling the person. I suspect the cleaners but then again I don’t have proof.

I went marching to the security side for a report yesterday. Did a report and met the person in charge. The first few words that came out of his mouth was "not another case”? I said what do do you mean?? He said another case was at the same level as I am, but it was for a bigger amount, RM1000 plus!!!! Also taken from the person’s drawer. Something definitely has to be done to catch this sicko, this can’t go on for years! The person who is doing all these stealing is definitely a professional. He said normal procedure for the security team is for them to proceed with an investigation and inform me later on the outcome.

I am still waiting. I know I can never get the money back but at least I have done my part by reporting. It will contribute to the so called growing statistics and actions have to be taken and solutions must be implemented. All I know is I am soooo pissed.
