“Salisi” gang

A friend sent me a warning regarding fake census takers. The modus operandi is that the people who knock on your doors and ask how many occupants are in the house are actually the feelers for the robbers.

Ironically, just yesterday morning, our next-door neighbor was victimized by a "salisi" gang.

Once the husband left the house 6 a.m., 2 men came into their place. Turns out when he left, he left the door open thinking that the maid would close it once he left. The maid was then at the back yard doing the laundry and when she came into the house, she saw one of the men coming down from the stairs already! The other man was outside, acting as the lookout. They
looked stoned so it's a good thing that instead of confronting her, the men just hurriedly left the house. They reported the incident to the barangay
hall, but it seems that they have very little interest in doing something about it. We suspect that some of the barangay tanods even know these men, and may in fact, be in on the crime. tsk tsk...

Be careful... times have changed...
