FunTranscript
00:00The first hint that something was wrong came on a rainy Tuesday evening,
00:04an envelope left carelessly on the kitchen counter,
00:07its edge peeking out from beneath a stack of unpaid bills.
00:10I wouldn't have noticed it at all if I hadn't been searching for a missing receipt.
00:15But there it was, a one-way plane ticket to Cambodia under Hoa Karin's name,
00:20dated just three days from now.
00:23My fingers trembled as I pulled it out, the paper crisp and official,
00:28the kind you couldn't just refund or cancel.
00:31And then beneath it, another document, a deed transfer form.
00:36My home's address scrawled in her handwriting,
00:39half-completed, as if she'd been interrupted mid-forgery.
00:43The room spun.
00:45Hoa Karin had been my tenant for two years, polite, quiet, always paying rent on time.
00:51I'd trusted her.
00:53And now, in the span of a single heartbeat,
00:55that trust shattered like glass.
00:59I dug deeper.
01:00Her laptop, left open on the coffee table,
01:03showed a half-written email to an overseas bank.
01:06Attached were
01:07scanned copies of my property documents,
01:10doctored to list her as the owner.
01:12My breath came in short, sharp bursts.
01:15This wasn't just some impulsive scheme.
01:17It was calculated, meticulous, premeditated.
01:19Then came the worst part.
01:22A notification pinged on her phone,
01:24lighting up the screen with a message from an unknown number.
01:27Paper's ready.
01:28Once you land, the I...
01:30House is yours.
01:31Just make sure he doesn't find out before then.
01:34Ice flooded my veins.
01:36She wasn't just leaving.
01:37She was stealing my home right from under me.
01:40And if I hadn't stumbled upon that envelope today...
01:42By the time I realized,
01:44she'd already be gone.
01:46My property sold off to some shadowy buyer overseas.
01:49I had 72 hours to stop her.
01:52And I had no idea how far she was willing to go to disappear.
01:56The moment the truth sank in,
01:58adrenaline surged.
01:59Threw me like a live wire.
02:01I couldn't confront Hua Karin.
02:03Not yet.
02:04If she realized I knew,
02:05she might vanish before I could stop her.
02:08No, I needed proof.
02:10Undeniable proof.
02:11And I needed it fast.
02:13I snapped photos of the ticket.
02:15The forged...
02:16Deed, the damning email.
02:18My hands shook as I sent them to my lawyer
02:20with a single urgent message.
02:22She's trying to steal my house.
02:24What do I do?
02:25The response was immediate.
02:27Call the police.
02:28Now.
02:29But it wasn't that simple.
02:31Hua Karin had connections.
02:33People in government.
02:34Offices.
02:35A cousin at the land registry.
02:38She'd clearly planned this for months,
02:39maybe longer.
02:40If I moved too recklessly,
02:42she could have the paperwork processed
02:43before anyone even looked twice.
02:45I needed more.
02:47That night,
02:48I combed through every...
02:50document,
02:51every email she'd left unguarded.
02:53Hidden in a folder labeled utilities,
02:55I found scans of my signature,
02:57lifted from old lease agreements,
02:58and painstakingly replicated.
03:00She'd even forged a notary stamp.
03:03This wasn't just theft.
03:04It was fraud on a terrifyingly professional level.
03:07By...
03:08dawn,
03:09my lawyer had filed an emergency injunction
03:11to freeze all property transactions under my address.
03:14The police,
03:14initially skeptical,
03:15grew stone-faced when they saw the evidence.
03:18A detective was assigned to the case,
03:20but Hua Karin was already two steps ahead.
03:23The next morning,
03:25a courier arrived with an official notice,
03:27a document claiming I...
03:29had sold the house to her,
03:31complete with a falsified contract date.
03:33Her bank records,
03:35subpoenaed in a frantic legal scramble,
03:37showed a sudden,
03:38suspicious transfer.
03:39$10,000 to a Cambodian real estate broker.
03:43She wasn't just taking the house.
03:44She was selling it from under me
03:46before she even boarded the plane.
03:48The...
03:49clock ticked louder.
03:51Then,
03:51the break we needed.
03:53The detective uncovered a deleted message on her phone.
03:56A confirmation for a same-day passport renewal.
04:00She wasn't leaving in three days.
04:02She was leaving tonight.
04:04I raced to the courthouse,
04:05my lawyer shouting into his phone
04:07as he pushed for an arrest warrant.
04:09The judge's pen hovered over the paper,
04:11just as my phone buzzed with a notification
04:13from my security cameras.
04:16Hua Karin was at the house,
04:18right now,
04:19and she wasn't alone.
04:20The security alert flashed on my screen,
04:23a grainy image of Hua Karin standing on my porch,
04:26her face tight with determination.
04:28Behind her loomed two-men eye.
04:31Didn't recognize,
04:32their broad shoulders blocking the doorway
04:34as one of them jimmied a lockpick into the keyhole.
04:37My blood turned to ice.
04:38She wasn't just fleeing.
04:40She was coming back to finish the job.
04:42I tore out of the courthouse,
04:44my lawyer shouting after me as I sprinted to my car.
04:47The judge had almost signed the warrant.
04:49Almost.
04:50But legal red tape meant
04:51it wouldn't be processed for another hour.
04:55An hour Hua Karin clearly didn't plan on waiting for.
04:59Tires screeched as I swerved into my neighborhood,
05:01heart hammering against my ribs.
05:04The street was eerily quiet,
05:06the only sound the distant rumble
05:07of an idling van parked crookedly in my driveway.
05:11The back doors were open.
05:13They were loading my things into it.
05:15I dialed 911,
05:17my voice a razor-sharp whisper
05:19as I described the break-in.
05:20The dispatcher promised officers were en route,
05:24but I knew better than to wait.
05:27If they took anything,
05:29documents,
05:30deeds,
05:31even furniture,
05:32it could all be twisted into proof
05:34of her ownership overseas.
05:35I crept through the backyard,
05:38the kitchen window slightly ajar.
05:41Inside,
05:41Hua Karin's voice was clipped urgent.
05:44Hurry!
05:44We have thirty minutes before he notices.
05:47One of the men grunted,
05:48heaving a box onto the counter,
05:50my filing cabinet,
05:51the one where I kept property records.
05:53The other man rifled through,
05:55it pulling out folders.
05:57Burn anything with his name?
05:59Leave the rest?
06:00My fingers curled into fists.
06:02They weren't just stealing.
06:03They were erasing me.
06:05Then,
06:06the glint of metal.
06:08Hua Karin reached into her bag
06:10and pulled out a lighter
06:11and a can of gasoline.
06:13The 911 operator's voice
06:15crackled in my ear.
06:17Police are two minutes out.
06:19But two minutes was too long.
06:21The first?
06:22Spark flickered in the darkness
06:24as she touched the flame
06:25to a stack of papers.
06:27Orange light licked up the edges,
06:28casting shadows across
06:29her satisfied smile.
06:31I didn't think.
06:32I moved.
06:34The back door crashed open
06:35as I lunged inside,
06:36knocking over the gas can
06:37in a single sweeping motion.
06:40The liquid splashed across the floor,
06:42the acrid stench flooding the air.
06:45Hua Karin's eyes locked onto mine,
06:47wide,
06:48furious,
06:48before she stumbled back,
06:50the fire in her hands
06:51suddenly too close to the fumes.
06:54You!
06:55Sirens wailed in the distance.
06:57The men bolted,
06:58shoving past me toward the van.
07:00Hua Karin hesitated,
07:02just for a second,
07:03before snatching a single folder
07:04and sprinting after them.
07:06I tried to grab her.
07:08Missed.
07:09The tires squealed as the van
07:10peeled away,
07:12but not before I caught
07:13the license plate
07:14and not before I saw
07:15the look on her face.
07:16This wasn't over.
07:18Because that folder?
07:19It held the original deed
07:21to my home.
07:22The smell of gasoline
07:23and burnt paper
07:24still clung to the air
07:25when the police stormed in,
07:27their flashlights
07:27cutting through the haze.
07:28I stood in the wreckage
07:30of my own home,
07:32my hands shaking,
07:33not from fear,
07:34but from the cold,
07:35searing rage
07:36that had settled deep
07:37in my bones.
07:38Hua Karin was gone.
07:40But she had left
07:41something behind.
07:42A mistake.
07:44The license plate number
07:45I'd screamed at the 911 operator
07:46was already flashing
07:47across patrol car screens.
07:50An APB was issued.
07:51Roadblocks erected.
07:52The van couldn't
07:53have gotten far,
07:54not with the folder.
07:56She had stolen.
07:57The one piece of evidence
07:58she thought would secure
07:59her victory.
08:00But she was wrong.
08:01Because the deed she took?
08:03It was a decoy.
08:05Months ago,
08:06after a neighbor's home
08:07had been fraudulently sold,
08:09my lawyer had insisted
08:10I file a quiet title action.
08:12A legal maneuver
08:13that placed a hidden marker
08:14on the property records,
08:16invisible to anyone
08:17who didn't know.
08:18Where to look?
08:19The real deed
08:20was in a vault.
08:21The one she stole?
08:23A worthless copy.
08:24I knew it.
08:25The police knew it.
08:27And soon Hua Karin
08:28would know it too.
08:29The call came at 3.17 a.m.
08:31They'd found the van
08:32abandoned near the airport,
08:33engine still warm.
08:35Inside, scattered receipts
08:36traced a last-minute
08:37ticket change.
08:39No longer Cambodia.
08:40Thailand.
08:41Flight 214,
08:43departing in 47 minutes.
08:45Interpol was alerted.
08:47Airport security
08:47swarmed Terminal B.
08:49I watched from
08:50the police station's
08:51live feed
08:51as officers in plain clothes
08:53moved through the crowd,
08:54scanning every face.
08:56Then, there.
08:59Near gate 22.
09:00A woman in a hoodie,
09:01head down,
09:02clutching a passport
09:03too tightly.
09:04She turned slightly
09:05and the camera
09:05caught her profile.
09:07Hua Karin.
09:08The detective next to me
09:10radioed a single order.
09:12Now!
09:13Chaos erupted.
09:15She fought like
09:15a cornered animal,
09:16screaming in a language
09:17the officers didn't understand
09:19as they wrestled.
09:20Her to the ground.
09:22The folder spilled
09:23from her grip,
09:24papers scattering
09:24across the polished floor.
09:27A customs officer
09:28picked one up,
09:29frowned,
09:30then laughed.
09:31This is a fake,
09:32he said,
09:33holding up the deed.
09:35A really bad one.
09:36Hua Karin's scream
09:37was pure fury.
09:39The trial was swift,
09:41forgery,
09:42fraud,
09:42arson.
09:43The charges stacked up
09:44like bricks
09:45in a prison wall.
09:46Her accomplices
09:47rolled on her
09:48the second they were caught,
09:49spilling every detail
09:50of the plan,
09:51how she'd targeted,
09:52my home specifically,
09:54how she'd forged documents
09:55for months,
09:56how she'd planned
09:57to sell it offshore
09:57and vanish forever.
09:59The judge's sentence,
10:0112 years.
10:03As they led her away
10:04in cuffs,
10:05she turned to me,
10:06her eyes burning
10:07with hatred.
10:09You got lucky,
10:10she spat.
10:10I smiled.
10:13No,
10:13I said.
10:14You got reckless.
10:16The biome-house
10:17was repaired.
10:18The locks changed.
10:20The title secured
10:21behind layers
10:22of legal armor
10:22no scammer could pierce.
10:24But I still check
10:25my security cameras
10:26twice every night,
10:27and I always will.
10:29Because the truth is,
10:31houses can be fixed,
10:32deeds can be replaced.
10:34But,
10:35trust,
10:36once stolen,
10:37it never really comes home.
10:38No.
10:40It never really comes home.
10:41It never really comes home.
10:42It never really comes home.
10:43It never really comes home.
10:44It never really comes home.
10:45It never really comes home.
10:46It never really comes home.
10:47It never comes home.
10:48It never comes home.
10:49It never comes home.
10:50It never comes home.
10:51It never comes home.
