The catch me if you can - By ME ;) 22nd May 2007
Today I witness a grab and run case. It was first a scream follow by a chase and run scenario. It reminds me of my own similar situation.
There is two culprit in such cases. Usually one will be waiting by the motor(acting as the driver) and the other will be out stalking for victims. This usually take place in places such as restaurants or mamak area. The potential victims? Well they are those individuals who enjoy placing their begs on chairs and handphones on tables or vice versa.
This is what happen to the female. She was spot with her handbag on the chair next to her in the restaurant and the snatch thief grab and run with her bag. Follow by her scream and she run after the snatch thief, saw the snatch thief skip and join his mates. The end of the situation as usual ends with the female weeping to her fellow mates and looking at the culprits run off with the goods.
Mine? Well it was a handphone for my case. It was in between my plate and my hands. They just slip through the gap and took it away… Me and my friend was very tired that particular week. It just happen maybe about a year ago. I couldnt forget the situation then cuz I believe I stood up from my table and wave goodbye to the snatch thief… Terrible aye? Then I lost my hostel keys too with a sheep keychain. My concern was the contacts and OH SHIT I’ve got no place to stay…
I bet the women must be thinkin’ "OH NO MY CREDIT CARDS and MY MAKE UPS and and…" So the story goes. The hassle of police report and etc is always a headache…
If that bugger is so damn poor as to need the money to feed a house of five mouth, with a job paid lower than 600 renting a place or something, I might have a little space for pity. But that definitely doesnt mean one has to rob other off their belongings just because they cannot afford and has such reasons. Worst still if the person is a drug addict… Hopeless.
Well conclusion, Plz find a job or find a better alternative to get the money you needed arsehole! I cannot believe if in within my friends has a snatch thief! TOTALLY NO COMMENT… By the way, do be more careful with your belongings and always be alert. I had this experience which is a good lesson since than I’m 10% more alert… At least I have a fear of it happening again therefore more caution. Ei 10% is better than none la considering I am a 120% clumsy person heheh…
