The title says it all. I was a victim of snatch thief incident last Thursday. It happened before 11am whilst I was visiting a shop. Whilst waiting to go into the shop, someone pulled my bag. My initial reaction was to pull back my bag. I struggled a bit but fell onto the ground. I got dragged, but I had to let go because I was scared that he may stab me with a knife. An accomplice was waiting for him on a motorcycle. Strangers tried to come out to help me but failed as the thieves ran away with my belongings.
The damages?
- bruises on both of my arms and right knee.
- lost my wallet with cash and cards
- lost my beloved bag
Another common daylight robbery is the robbers smashing your car windows in order to steal your handbags or laptop bags that you may putting at the co-driver seat or back seat. This normally occurs at the traffic light. My friend is a victim and it happened to her when she was on her way into a car park. Lessons- do not leave anything valuable visible in the car and fix tinted films on car windows.
I should be thankful that there isn't any other harm on me. You may ask me am I traumatised after my bag got snatched? No, I am not. I felt more pissed than ever. What happened to these people that they must steal or harm others to survive? Is it because of economy? Or because they are heartless?
Ladies out there, please be careful. Take good care. Life is precious!
