After all the discussion, the IO call her officer and the officer command to remand them both. Sadly, both need to be remand for maximum 4 days. I was like, haihz.. how could this happen. I dont want them to be remand in lockup. But then this is police case. The officer said to me "Not for you to worries, leave it to police, OK?". hurmm.. i went back home after been asking to do so.
Let me share with you my experience.A Network Switch was stolen from my workplace, so we make a Police Report as per procedure.
After sometime a Vendor for our Company spotted the Network Switch at a shop in Lowyat Plaza and informed my friend who was in charge of the Switch at my Company. He told the Police and one after another the Shopkeeper was arrested and remanded.
My friend told me that the Shopkeeper was a young boy and and didn't know anything. Even the shop owner pleaded with the Police that the boy just started working there and was innocent.
Can you imagine how the boy felt working one day happily earning some money when suddenly bam! the next day he's inside a lockup. Man that will scar you for life.
The lesson here is DON'T DEAL WITH STOLEN GOODS. Yes the profit is lucrative but one day you will have to pay for it. The Police has no sympathies they will follow procedure.
We always hear the quote "Your are innocent unless proven guilty" in movies, but seriously from my experience with dealing with the Police, it is the opposite which is "You are guilty unless proven innocent". Don't believe me? then try asking anybody who has done a Police Report of a stolen item which was in his possession but belongs to someone else. The first suspect will be the one making the Police Report.

lesson - goods no leave your sight until payment received.
actually not good you go people's house like that, bad people also need house. go a public place is best.
it's a clever con, most people would think if someone generous to allow you to come into their residence, he/she must be geniune.
Well in a time of post-Datuk Sosilawati's case, Apis_LuaLua should consider himself lucky that all he lost was his laptop. It could have been much..much worse.actually not good you go people's house like that, bad people also need house. go a public place is best.
