New snatching method

[the_wildthing]

Gals, (and guys for your GF/wife, female companion),

There's a new MO for snatchers in fast food chains and restaurants.

This happened to my wife's colleague.

Woman, alone, sitting in Jollibee Greenbelt, waiting for her companions who are ordering, places her bag on the table where she can see it.

Some guy points down underneath the woman's seat/table. "Miss, is that your credit card?"

Woman sees the credit card. Bends down to pick it up, momentarily losing sight and touch of her handbag. She gets up and examines the card to find that it is not hers.

The guy is gone. Bag is gone too, along with cash, credit cards and two mobile phones. Theft was reported, cards were cancelled, but they have been used already...

So, never let go of your bag, even for a second, especially in crowded areas. Put it on your lap.

HTH...

Hmm..teka hindi ba Urban Legend yan?? Meron din isa pang version yan eh..

Maglalaglag ng susi ang thief para madistract ka then ikaw naman mapapalingon sa nalaglag na susi, then ang kasama ng thief ang kukuha ng gamit mo.. celfone or wallet sa table mo. And Voila..voila na ang gamit mo.

Probably not. Kasi my wife knows the victim. It was her group that told the story.
