ROBBED

Last night was terrible. I was being robbed in front of my house.
It's around 19.00 pm. We, ( DH, DF, DS, me and Megan) planned to dined at India Restaurant, well DH actually very reluctant because he's tired just drove came back from Pangkalan Brandan but because I insisted, he finally agreed.
Then when we all were getting ready, a cat ran into our front yard and started mewing. This make Neil and Naomi become mad and started barking and frantically urged to rushed outside.
When we open the door to get into the car which was parked on road side, Neil rushed out and started chasing the cat. Usually, he always heeding my command, but the cat really drove him crazy and he ignored me. We didn't want him to killed the little cat so we screamed and called his name, then I bring out a long rattan stick and hit his leg. He turned back and got into the house again.
Meanwhile, DH was holding Megan in the car, and all the confusion make us unaware of our surrounding which was very quite and a bit dark (many of our neighbors were out of town for long weekend).
Then It happened so fast, I was opening the car door then felt a hard tug on the baby bag I was carrying. I screamed and turned around tried to snatch back my bag, there he stood, a man, a bataknese, holding a long knife in front of my face and threat : " If u dared, I'd kill you" I backed away.
A friend of his, driving a motor car was waiting beside him. DF and DS screamed and throw him stone. It missed, and he ran away.... with my bag.
Gosh, this was the first time I was being robbed. None came for our rescued and my baby bag was gone.
I lost many things including : my 3 cellphones ( 1 is Nokia N95), my Mont Blanc purse, DS' new camera, Megan's dinner in Thermos, Megan's sling and a dress. My favorite Estee Lauder Lipsticks, my Envirosaxs and others things including all my credit cards, ID, all licenses.
It took awhile to block all the cards and reported the crime. But policemen are scarce during the hari raya holiday so they done nothing but only promised to increased the patrol (which I's doubt they'll keep)
All of us was shocked and I barely slept last night, but still, I'm grateful that I only lost material stuff, not being stabbed or being hurt.
This make me feel naked. I felt so unprotected, unsafe. I thought I need to carry some weapon or anything that can be used to defend myself. I had searched around the house and found baseball stick (which DF bought on 1998, when riot) and put it in my car.
But still it didn't make me feel safer.........
