Snatch Theft

A preggie young woman lost her life after a snatch theft incident. This happened in the broad day light....Is our country safe ?


I was too a victim of such nasty snatch theft. I could vividly recalled that day. I was in my teens then @ lower sixth. I was walking to the bus-station after my tuition class. It was about 5pm where everyone was busy rushing home. The street was busy with vehicles, motorbikes and buses. So were the people...crowded.



I had a sling bag where I store all my stuff ~ wallet, stationery, notes, hankerchief, comb/mirror, umbrella and books. I carried it over my shoulder acrossed my chest. As I was heading towards the bus station whic was a stone throw from my tuition centre....SUDDENLY..

I felt a sharp pain on my chest. Someone was pulling the strip of my bag from behind. I fell backward onto the ground. My bag gave way and I noticed a motorcyclist and his pillion speeding off with my bag. I did not scream as everything happened in a split second....so fast.

I realised I was sitting on the pavement of the road in an unsightly manner. My skirt was raised revealing my panty....and the buttons on my blouse were undone. I saw a small crowd encircling me. I felt pain all over me...my arms esp around the elbow area. My knees were bleeding profusely. I was in a dazed. Some good samaritans brought me to the hospital and contacted my parents.

I was lucky as I only sustained bruises and lost some cash. My identity card was taken away too.
Thank Lord Buddha.....my life was spared !

It was such frightening as reported in the daily this morn that another woman had died due to snatch theft. I personally felt that these culprits should be severely punish~manditory death and 10 strokes of rotan if aquited of such crimes. Let's put a stop to such criminal act.

Beware of snatch theft.
