Beware Snatch Thieves Using Cars

From Lim Kit Siang's Blog :

"About 10 houses in front of me was this young lady walking by a car parked along the grass patch outside one of the terrace houses. As she was reaching the rear end of this clean decent looking Silver Proton Waja, I noticed the engine started and the left rear passenger doors window was being wound down.

Suddenly a man emerged out of the rear passenger doors window his entire torso! and making a grab of this ladys handbag!!!! As this man emerged from the cars window, the Silver Proton Waja was pulling out of its parking position slowly not in a hurry with the man from within just dragging the lady and her handbag along until she gave it up!! Then they drove off slowly no hurry!!!

All the above happened in front of my eyes in less than 30 seconds!!!!!

Her screams and cries did not help! No one came to her rescue in fact a middle age woman ran into her house upon seeing this happening right in front of her house only to come back out to lock her gates after the car has driven away! Do you blame her? The thieves were so bold!!!!"

Over the past 6 months, my mum's handbag was snatched from her moving car in Pulau Tikus. My colleages car window was smashed and her handbag snatched at the Maybank car park. Last week I saw a motorcycle snatch thief grab a lady's bag in front of Gurney Plaza.

As the economy worsens, I urge everyone to be very cautious. The police have so far been useless.
