A woman, nicknamed "Xiong Xiong," suffered two home burglaries within three and a half months, losing over NT$1 million. When reporting the crimes, she was sarcastically told by an officer: "Even if we catch the thief, you won’t get your stuff back. Why bother wasting effort?" Frustrated, she posted online about her ordeal, quoting the saying "The common people may be oppressed, but Heaven is not easily deceived," to mock the police’s inability to catch the thieves.
The accused Jiachang Police Station under Kaohsiung’s Nanzih District Police Department clarified that no officer had made mocking or sarcastic remarks toward the victim. The case was handled according to regulations, with no underreporting or downgrading of severity. They stated they had identified a suspect and were monitoring the situation while increasing patrols in the community.
Fuming Post: "The Common People May Be Oppressed"
"Xiong Xiong" wrote that on November 12 last year, her mother and sister-in-law returned home on Qingchang Street after a wedding banquet to find their house burglarized, losing over NT$600,000 in cash, gold jewelry, and diamond rings. The thief even left behind excrement in the back alley.
The next day, while reviewing surveillance footage, she grew even angrier. The police station had mixed up the footage from Lane 72 of Qingchang Street with another lane’s recordings. An officer even demoralized her by saying, "Even if we catch the thief, he’ll just be jailed for a few days and then walk free. That’s how our law works. Why waste your time?"
Unexpectedly, on the evening of March 2 this year, a man in a vest and rolled-up pants barged into their living room and snatched her mother’s bag (containing over NT$500,000 in cash, a diamond ring, and a gold necklace). Her mother screamed "Robbery!" and neighbors chased after the thief, but he escaped.
The family has since struggled to sleep, with her mother often crying in the middle of the night. When reporting the crime, an officer insisted it was theft, not robbery, because "there was no physical struggle." "Xiong Xiong" questioned, "Why is it considered robbery when jewelry stores are robbed without any struggle?"
She emphasized that her family wasn’t the only victim—Qingchang Street has seen a spate of burglaries, with six residential break-ins in three months. Residents have resorted to sealing their windows shut, installing alarms, and carrying valuables when leaving home, but thefts persist, leaving the community on edge.
