Mystery of the missing laptop

A terrible thing happened yesterday. Someone’s laptop was stolen from the power station much to the shock of everyone. This has never happened before here and as anyone in UAE will tell you, crime rate is generally very low. It created quite a lot of fuss as somehow someone got their hands on a laptop and escaped amidst tight security. And of course the laptop owner was very upset over the whole incident.
Power station security is very tight. Every car entering and leaving the station is checked by the guards. The guards will actually scan the underneath of the car with a mirror to check if anything is hidden underneath. The boot has to be opened for inspection each time. Laptops and cameras to be brought into the plant need permits. There is even an army stationed at the gate and the main road leading to the station has an army checkpoint. The army makes regular patrols around the perimeter of the station as well as the surrounding areas. Therefore the security is extremely tight here compared to a regular power station in Malaysia.

So, when a laptop goes missing from the plant it created a hell lot of commotion. A police report was actually lodged and the CID came investigating. Hmmm… I wonder if a CID will actually investigate the case of a missing laptop in Malaysia? And now I take an extra few minutes to clear the security checkpoint each time, as the already tight security has just become tighter.
