Beware of break-ins!

Was at our new house on Sat to receive the goods and saw the workers painting. Meanwhile, we had our screws for the bolts of our gate changed as advised by an uncle who was doing it for the households there. He mentioned that 2 houses at Blk 307 were broken into whereby the burglar removed the whole piece of iron gate just by simply removing the bolts at the nine connectors of the gates and easily knock off the main door.

One screw inside a bolt took less than 3 secs (using a hammer and screw) to remove and in such a new and sparsely occupied neighbourhood, no one would suspect anything (the hammer noise). Its really scary as we listened and saw him demonstrated. Quite surprised that the government actually overlooked such details when making gates. After we spent about $155 for 9 screws in the bolts, we were advised to use good locks. Naturally after securing the gates, we need a good lock so it would not be cut off so easily.
