Thieves o thieves Part II

This is Part II of thieves o thieves. Yes, I have a new story here, but I really don't want to continue doing Part III or IV or on and on..

Today, my colleague's handbag was snatched by a lone biker. We were walking back to the car after having lunch at Glenmarie Shah Alam. Suddenly this biker was turning in from a junction, very close to us and so close that we thought he were about to fall off from his bike. Then he snatched my colleague's handbag which she was holding at the strap. But thank GOD she was fine. Not hurt, but just scared. We all are.

It just happens everywhere. Not sure if the biker was stalking or just passing by and grab on this opportunity. It just happens. Daylight or night time. They just take the opportunity when it arrives.

Why do snatch thieves have to take away our freedom to walk and enjoy the time? Is it our mistake to walk in public?

I was sort of angry at myself for unable to do anything even though witnessing it.
I was stunned myself, can't even see the motorbike plate number. Just remembering his shirt. What use is that?

Hmm, I am very saddened with this and I just hope the thief (and others out there) will be caught soon. Caught and not released after bail. It's caught and sentenced!!!

Ladies, maybe you can just bring your purse out instead of a sling bag which may contain more things than you need to bring around during lunch.

Be extra careful during the start and end of the month as people get their salary and will have an amount of cash in the bag.

Try to recognise the snatch thief helmet colour / any stickers / unique identifiers (They will change their clothes / number plates, but most probably wear the same helmet)

If you really need to use a handbag, buy those bag with detachable straps. If the thief gets the bag, at least we won't get drag away when he pull the bag.

Carry your bag in the opposite direction from the road. If the cars are on your left, then hold it to your right and vice versa.

Always have duplicates for important accessories, for example your car keys or any keys you may have.

Please make a snatch thief police report. Ex-policeman use to tell us that some people will say they drop it, in order to simplify it. But please don't. Only when we report, then the police will know and they have a record. The police DO works. If we didn't report, the police will have the impression that our place is sooo safe, not roundings are required. So, please please, the least you could do is, report the case as a snatch thief case.

Takecare all...
