I'm sorry to hear about this, Novita. I hope that they weren't able to steal anything of real value to your family.

As you know, I live in an apartment. A few days ago, two men opened my front door, while I was home and the door was unlocked.

I asked, "Can I help you?" They said they needed to see the kichen. I thought it was strange that someone would just open someone's apartment door in the expectation that the resident would allow them to come in. I didn't think much of it until I read your posting, and although I didn't let them in, I now think it could have been much worse.

I know we don't think too much about crime here in Doha. I never thought anyone would break into my house in Bali either, but someone did, in the middle of the night while everyone was sleeping. The police there also were not able to do a thing.

I don't think we can expect too much from local police forces in cases like this.
