KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Florist Auvaroza Abraham's shop was broken into again. That's life, you might say. But not if it has happened more than 30 times.

The New Straits Times reported Sunday that the flower shop in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak state on Borneo Island, has been robbed four times this month alone, the latest on Saturday.

Auvaroza estimated her total losses so far at $56,300 in the serial burglaries since 2004.

Auvaroza has filed police reports 30 times but police have come to her shop to investigate only three times, the newspaper quoted the woman as saying.

After the latest theft, she decided to go to the newspaper instead of the police because she felt she was being ignored by them. The last report was filed on Jan. 15, barely a week before Saturday's incident.

"If these break-ins were the first, maybe it could be a small matter to the police. But my premises have been broken into over 30 times," she said.

Auvaroza suspects the burglars were drug addicts who were often seen loitering outsider her shop at night. She employed a security guard once but he quit within a month after being beaten up by thieves.
