LV Nightmare

D's LV collections

The above lovely Louis Vuitton collections were stolen! This happened last week, they break into her home, Eastern Suburb Sydney, Australia, where she resides. She was devastated, because many more precious items were stolen from her residential area. So, what is my purpose on sharing this? I had a special request. She understand that it is by far a long shot of finding what had been stolen. Nevertheless, it doesn’t hurt to try and give it a shot.

The request was to help her find one particular Louis Vuitton bag. Which is the Louis Vuitton Neverfull with the custom design D.N.D in yellow and white strips. If any of you see this bag on the street (in Australia) or on the internet (i.e. Ebay), please write a comment below. It would be even better to contact the police as well.

After what happen to my friend, I would like to share this excerpt from Tasmania Police website. I know its common sense, but its good to read through and be cautious.

Residential Burglary Prevention

Residential Burglaries

Burglary and theft from residential premises impose a significant cost upon the community. The experience of being burgled can be a very traumatic one for victims who may be left feeling angry, violated and unsafe in their own home. Most burglaries occur during daylight hours, when homes are often vacant. However, it is essential to ensure that your home is secure at all times, day and night.

  • Reducing the Risk of Burglary The risk of burglary can be reduced. Research has shown that security devices such as locks and burglar alarms are effective in reducing the risk of burglary, and that the risk of burglary is lower in neighbourhoods where the residents have a strong sense of community and look out for each other.  Many burglaries occur when an offender discovers an open window or unlocked door, and takes the opportunity to enter the home and steal cash or other items of value. Making sure that your home and other buildings (e.g. garage/garden shed) are always secure is an effective way to reduce the likelihood that opportunistic burglars will see your home as an easy target.  A number of strategies which may help to prevent your home being burgled are suggested in this brochure. In addition to security measures, simple behavioural changes, such as leaving a light on when you go out to make your house look occupied, can be an effective deterrent to would- be burglars.
  • Repeat Burglaries Unfortunately, once you have been burgled there is a very real possibility that you could be burgled again, and this could occur within a relatively short period of time. the same burglar/s who committed the initial burglary, or their associate/s, may be responsible for the repeat burglary.  If you have been burgled recently and you think it is possible that your residence may be vulnerable to a repeat burglary for any of the reasons outlined above, it is strongly recommended that you address any security shortfalls that may leave your home and garage/shed vulnerable to burglary.  Reasons for a repeat burglary can include the following:
    • Burglars know there are additional items of value in a home and view it as an easy target because they cannot see any obvious improvements in the security of the home.
    • Burglars may try to burgle a home again within 4 – 6 weeks of the first burglary because they think that the goods previously stolen will have been replaced through insurance.
    • Burglars may return because they now have a buyer for some particular item they saw on the first occasion.
    • Burglars return to burgle other residential buildings (e.g. if the garden shed was broken into on the first occasion, the home may be burgled on a return visit).
    • Burglars acting independently of each other may consider the house to be an attractive target on separate occasions. For example a house which is often empty, has poor security and is located in an isolated area is likely to be an attractive target to most burglars.
