Singapore Theft
I had my cross-body handbag taken inwards Singapore. A slash-proof handbag is no aid when individual takes your whole bag. it was a classic theft, I realised afterwards. Somebody, an erstwhile man, bumped me from the right. I looked behind too ii tall younger men inwards conversation were marching away behind me. At the fourth dimension I idea I must direct keep left my handbag on the bus. But I felt low-cal every bit they lifted it. the picture of the erstwhile human being too the ii passers-by remained inwards my retentivity too re-surfaced when I read nearly this distraction technique later.

Singapore is known for beingness a relatively rubber country, amongst the expiry penalty, which cuts downwardly the chance for a series killer to last released too kill to a greater extent than at random, or inwards revenge on witnesses.

Years agone a select direct keep of theft happened to my parents inwards Spain. The ii men were walking ahead. the ii ladies were walking behind. The thief ran yesteryear the men towards the ladies. he grabbed a handbag too ran on. By the fourth dimension the men heard the women shout out too ran back, the thief was good ahead too had disappeared to a greater extent than or less a corner.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 thief was caught after some other theft, inwards Marbella, Spain. My married adult man too I were unloading the machine which was parked olfactory organ to pavement. I was standing yesteryear the boot. (Americans tell trunk). Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 machine pulled upward behind. My shoulder handbag strap was slashed.
My married adult man ran to a greater extent than or less too set his arm though the window. the machine sped off, dragging him along. I idea he was going to larn smashed against a parked machine every bit the machine turned the corner.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 passer-by ran upward to me too said, "I've memorised the number. Write it down."
But my pen too notebook were inwards the stolen bag. We dashed into the side yesteryear side holding agent exactly the assistant was on the telephone to a client too tried to moving ridge us away. We shouted too insisted 'policia" too grabbed a pen too paper. Somebody else wrote downwardly the number.
My married adult man drove us to the nearest constabulary station to brand a report. They already had a suspect inwards custody. They had a car. the stolen ar containing iii or iv lads had driven to a greater extent than or less the corner into the high street, hitting some other vehicle. The constabulary had arrived quickly, exactly the driver had run off. The human being they caught claimed he could non drive, had no license, too did non know the others inwards the car, who were strangers he met inwards a cafe who offered him a lift.
I was shown a Swiss regular army knife too asked, "Is this yours?"
Later I realised that it was the knife used to slash my handbag handle.
Second Theft In Spain
Later, I was called to the constabulary station too given dorsum the slashed handbag too a few of the contents - minus the money. The thieves must direct keep thrown away the handbag inwards a bin. One of the things to create after a theft is to depository fiscal establishment tally nearby bins for the abandoned bag. If yous call upward the handbag or your diary, that could last useful.
At the fourth dimension I was teaching. I had my appointments inwards my lost diary. I recall driving out of my drive dorsum inwards London the next calendar week when I was hailed yesteryear an anxious pupil. She had come upward for a lesson, which I had forgotten, after all the excitement too the loss of my diary.
As they say, improve rubber than sorry.
Safe travelling.
