just to warn people that there are bag snatchers in theytmca area

Mt Thai girlfriend was attcked the other morning around 10am just round the corner from Ymca on the way to central

it was raining at the time so she wacked the young good looking guy (her description) with her brolly(umberela) and screamed at him

and she run off to her sisters nearby

After talking to one of the guards at a nearby housing complex seemingly there has been at least 2 attacks in the past few months

I did inform staff at ymca about this as my girlfriend wouldnt go to the police

just to let people know

be careful at any time of the day around there

Jeez, this bag snatching, hoodlums on motorsai with swords deal is getting out of hand.

Perhaps the only way to combat this, is...combat?

Carry one of these in your (big) purse.

Guaranteed to lop off an arm with a lazy swipe.

The rustier, the better.

And yes, this example is sharp enough to shave fine hair off an arm....

What part of town is the YMCA in?

It could just be the media, but it seems crime is quickly increasing all over the country for this sort of thing.

You could use a cheap plastic carrier bag..........this should keep snatchers awaypost-150623-0-72317200-1340800598_thumb.
