Unfriendly forces?

For the past 2 months, we have been contemplating whether to install a CCTV outside our door. It started when we arrived home one evening, to find the leaves of our plants plucked to clean some dog poo and were left lying outside our door.

Then it was followed by the disappearance of our Ikea $6.90 wooden shoe rack. Most likely it was much newer looking than the rest of our worn slippers.

A few weeks later, a pair of less than $10, pasar-malam bought slippers (belonging to Spyder) also mysteriously disappeared. I could practically see steam coming out of his ears. Yes, he was damn freaking frustrated.

Then came the latest...

Somebody apparently, and purposely broke the stems of our plants. When I saw Spyder's face, I seriously thought he was going to steam at his ears and roar the whole block down at the same time. But it was really super duper frustrating that such things are happening. Spyder wondered if it was specifically targetted at us. But I thought it might be a random act since we stayed on the 7th storey, and kids can always run up and down the stairs to make mischief. Oh, and don't even get me started on the kids playing around this area.

Where has the neighbourly love gone??!
