    Dear Sir/Madam

    Re: Loss of personal items from residents’ homes

    I am a resident staying at Blk 216 Aljunied Street 21. I am writing to you to highlight
    the occurrence of several incidents where personal items went missing from residents’
    apartments in my block.

    Just three days ago I found that my wallet had disappeared from the drawer in my
    apartment where I live on my own. After sharing my experience with neighbours at a
    residents’ gathering, I have since ascertained that I am not the only resident whose
    personal items went missing from his own home. For instance, Mr Chee Fong Seng

    shared that his Palm Treo smartphone, which he was using just before he fell asleep in
    his bed, was missing when he woke up. Mrs Alethea Fernando found her pearl
    necklace missing from her own neck after waking up from a nap. In all the incidents,
    the victims had fallen asleep near the window in their apartment facing the common
    corridor.

    From the residents’ sharing of experiences, it is clear that the same modus operandi
    has been used and that we were the victims of the same perpetrator. We are concerned
    that more residents will fall victim to the same crime. We are of the opinion that the
    string of crimes could be committed so easily partly because of the poorly lit common
    corridors in the block. The dim lighting of these corridors allows the perpetrator to
    move stealthily past our apartments’ windows undetected, shrouding any suspicious
    activity that he or she may engage in.

    Although we do not yet have any evidence, we believe that the perpetrator might be a
    teenager who has been spotted loitering at the block just before midnight every day,
    often playing a PlayStation Portable or listening to his digital audio player. We find
    the actions of this teenager very suspicious, especially as we do not recognize him as
    Me

    being from our block nor the neighbouring blocks. This teenager is a lanky,
    bespectacled male Chinese who is always dressed in a jersey and loose-fitting
    trousers.
    ga

    We hope that the Town Council can help us to address the problems we are facing.
    Firstly, we hope that brighter lighting can immediately be installed along the common
    corridors of our block to deter future crimes. Secondly, we hope that the Town
    Le

    Council will work with the Singapore Police Force to monitor our block for
    suspicious-looking characters, such as the teenager mentioned above. With the
    brighter lighting and increased police presence at our block, we are certain that the
    ct

    perpetrator will soon be caught or at least deterred from stealing from our homes
    again.

    Thank you.

    Yours faithfully
