Motorists Beware – New Modus Operandi By Criminals!



It’s just so sad when your desire to help those in need becomes the very avenue criminal elements use to do their dirty work.

The story I’m about to tell you comes from a friend of mine who experienced firsthand (JUST LAST NIGHT) the new modus operandi of criminals and robbers going around busy roads filled with vehicles stopped in traffic.

Traffic

My friend was along Kalayaan Avenue in Makati around 8PM, stuck in traffic. Alone in his car, a small kid taps on his window asking for money and food.

Typical, right?

Then you suddenly remember it’s Christmas… naturally, the spirit of giving (and being of good cheer) is stronger this time of year.

He opens his window halfway and turns to his bag placed on the passenger seat, looking for something to give to the child.

When he turns back around to face the child again, in front of him instead is an older man with a sharp knife that he immediately sticks hard to my friend’s throat threatening to kill him if he doesn’t surrender his cellphone. Seems pretty clear that the beggar child that came before him was all part of the plan.

My friend complies and hands over his iPhone in a hurry. Soon after, the thief walks away casually like nothing ever happened. What’s worse is that according to my friend, a lot of other people (passers-by, drivers, commuters, etc.) witnessed the crime as it unfolded and just turned a blind eye. It was as if nothing ever happened. They were all probably afraid that they’d end up on the business end of the robber’s knife if they intervened or played hero.

I asked my friend why the thief didn’t ask for his wallet as well. He said the guy seemed to be in a hurry and only took interest in his mobile device. Likewise, my friend didn’t even think of fighting back since the thief, already with half of his arm inside the vehicle, could’ve easily reached for the lock of his door and hurt him much more. It might have even cost him his life.

I’m glad that my friend is safe… but I feel terrible as well. Terrible because situations like this turn us into cynical, paranoid individuals. We end up choosing not to care for our underprivileged brothers and sisters when they come knocking for fear of being victimized by syndicates and criminal elements ourselves.

The safest way to help out beggars and street children, perhaps, is to course our alms and assistance through the proper agencies such as the DSWD instead.

Anyways, for what it’s worth… I hope this story serves as a cautionary tale for everyone.

May you all have a very merry and SAFE Christmas.

agree. katangahan naman yun na bubuksan mo yung bintana agad.

tama bago magbukas ng bintana ready na dapat ang ibibigay, tapos halfway pa bukas, katangahan talaga

[jodski]

deja vu... babalik na rin kaya yung mga bata na nagpupumilit magbukas ng kotse sa traffic sabay hablot ng kung ano makukuha ? Wait and see

[wezz_zzew]

One time nakakita ako along NAIA road papuntang Baclaran. May isang guy na nakasabit sa bintana nung Nissan Urvan na parang kinukulit yung driver. As in nakapasok talaga yung ulo nya at buong braso sa bintana. Mejo kinabahan ako during that time kaya sinarado ko bintana ko dahil traffic at baka mabiktima din. In such instance, pwede mo ba gamitan ng taser yung ungas. Ang iniisip ko lang dito is baka biglang magcollapse tapos masagasaan or baka biglang atakehin sa puso. Please advice para malaman din ng iba natin ka-tsikot kung ano gagawin sa mga ganitong klaseng pagkakataon.

FYI, nabili ko lang yung taser sa 168 Mall sa divisoria.

kung sa iyo nangyari yun, you have to remember na karapatan mong idepensa ang sarili mo kung nagpupumilit ng sasakyan mo, which is considered private property.

magkano kuha mo sa tazer mo?

I agree. He has no business sticking even a finger in the car in the first place. Just like someone trespassing on private property.

I'm wary of the folks who approach your car and beg at stoplights. I pity the kids who seem to really be left to fend for themselves and resort to begging. Sarap ipatawag yung magulang!

How much score mo sa taser sir? Saka saan dun? Mukang mas OK yan kesa sa pepper spray kasi yung pepper spray naeexpire eh. :D

Meron akong nakita sa Eastwood, sir. Doon sa may circle where Agave, Dairy Queen, TGIF, etc are located. May mga flea markets doon kung minsan and I saw one stall that sells those. Pinapagana pa nga niya ung taser niya nung dumaan kami.

Ok lang ang pepper spray, sir, lalo kung lagi kang dumadaan sa area. Ingat ka nga lang kasi baka matandaan ka nila, yari ka naman kasi baka gantihan ka.

mas okay ang taser sa enclosed space. damay-damay kayo sa damage pag gumamit ka ng pepper spray sa medyo masikip na lugar.

Do whatever you want with these scumbags. Kung masagasaan and mamatay you're doing the world a favor

I want to pero syempre I'm also taking into consideration yung legal implication sa gagawin ko. It will be hard to justify in court yung pwedeng mangyari sa ungas na mga yun.

Kaya i told my self, relatives and friends do yourself and the world a favor DON'T GIVE ALMS!

Unang una lets say totoong namamalimos lang you're not helping them and to add up you put yourself at risk gaya nung sa article. Pero katangahan din nung victim yun, hindi pa ata mulat sa real world.
