Careful Of People Who Shove Against You

[Xangsamhua]

Sorry, ladies, I know you've been warned about pickpockets many times, but my wife, who's pretty savvy, had her purse taken out of her bag yesterday at the Sirikit Centre, most likely by a woman who shoved against her in a food queue. My wife's friend noticed the shoving and commented on it, not realising what had happened, but after that the purse was discovered missing.

My wife had her bag under her arm, but not zipped up, so there was just that small window and the thief took her opportunity.

If someone seems to be unnecessarily shoving against you in a queue or congested situation, please check your bag/purse right away and keep an eye on the shover.

Cheers

Thanks Xangsamhua.

I know that when im in familiar surroundings and focused on doing something (such as shopping), my guard is often down. Good to get reminder to be careful.

Thanks for the reminder & sorry to your wife. It is such a pain to have to replace everything on top of the horrible feeling of being robbed.

Some people really are scum

Uggg.. this happened to me at JJ.

But on the plus side the wallet was dumped and a stall owner called me to pick it up! Had everything in it sans the cash.
