Buti na lang din siguro blessing in disguise hindi siya nagising kasi siguro kung nagising ‘yun pag nagpang-abot sila baka iba na ‘yung nangyari,” Adamos said.
The family quickly reported the incident to the barangay, where officials confirmed that the thief was not a resident of the area. Barangay authorities reviewed more CCTV footage, which helped identify the suspect as a man wearing a red t-shirt and riding a bicycle.
