Under s. 23 of the Penal Code, it states that
I, Nicole Lim, of NRIC number S90XXXXXX, charge you, Joseph Lim, S68XXXXXX, for theft in dwelling-house under s. 380 of the Penal Code.
s.380 of the Penal Code reads
The facts of the case are as follows:
Joseph Lim (JL) was at home when Nicole Lim (NL) arrived home at about 2020 on 18 February 2008. JL was not happy with what NL was wearing, therefore, he lectured her. He then told her to go upstairs to keep her "indecent" clothes in a box and to bring it down. He wanted it to be done by the time he got home, as he was planning to go out. NL did as she was told. However, at 2030, when NL came downstairs to her bedroom, her books were on the floor, her laptop was detached from the power socket, and her belongings ransacked. She found that her wallet, which includes her IC, ATM card and cash, and her handphone, model number Z610i, missing. She asked her sister, Elsie Lim, where was it, and EL claimed that JL took it.
I believe that I am legally entitled to my handphone and my wallet right? The bill is under my name, so does it make it mine? And what of the wallet?
Another thing, because JL is my guardian, does that mean that he is entitled to whatever I possess until I turn the age of 21?
So yes. I am pissed (:
