Honestly, I have been hearing people talking about how a burglar stole things from their home without them knowing. This practice is now becoming too common in my community and non of them have been caught.

It all happened this morning at 6 am, though I was up from the bed already but I just felt I needed more sleep to help me balance the sleepless night I had had for some days. So I went back to sleep, it was then the burglar came around. He came around the time the watchmen must have returned to their home.

My mom do tell me to put off my room light when sleeping but I prefer to leave the blue bulb on so that when I open my eyes, I would have an idea of how my room is.

My bed is very close to the window and I do leave my window open for fresh air even with the fan on. Most time, I and my brother do put our phones at the top of the bed shelf for easy access and I never knew it would be easy access to a thief too.

I just returned to the bed to catch my remaining sleep when my mom walked in to wake us up for prayer. Normally she would knock on the door but today she didn't but instead, she walked in and saw the man standing at my window side with a long stick trying to take the phone from the bed shelf, she scream "thief thief thief" in our native language "Ole Ole Ole" with a loud voice. It was the sound of her voice that woke me up and I saw the man taking the stick out.

I ran, open the main door and went to the back of my window but he wasn't there again. If I had caught him, I would have beat the living heat out of him. He tore the window net to get access into my room, and now I have another expense to fix the net again.

This place is the only side of the house that's a bit covered, if a person stands there at night, it would be a bit hard to notice the person immediately because of the little farm behind the house. So that is the best position for the Bulgar.
