Snatch Thief Victim

I was the victim of snatch thief yesterday, 5 January 2010 at 4.55 pm.

My car was parked at Jalan Sri Petaling 2 in Seri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur. I was inside my car when I remember that I need to take my document bag out from my car boot because I have appointment to meet up my client in a short while. So I open my car door and take the document bag from my car boot. As I was walking toward my car seat, a motorbike came in front of me and his accomplice snatched my document bag. I tried to snatch back my bag but immediately decide to let go because I somehow hear a voice in my head to let go of it. I tried to look at the motorbike number but it sped off to fast I can’t see any number on its plate. The two snatch thieves look like Malays or maybe Indonesian who have stolen other’s people motorbike.

I do not know if I should laugh or cry. You see! The stupid thieves got away with a bag with no value to them but to me, it will take me many days effort to prepare all the presentation slides and reports. Some of them cannot be replaceable. I lost my scientific calculator which has sentimental value. But also God bless because I’m not physically hurt and I didn’t lost my handphone, identity card and money. The cost incurred now would be to replace all my stationery and reprint all the representation documents and reports.

I’m still in trauma now. I feel really unsecure to go out of the house.
This is the second times I lost all my documents and reports. On 30 March 2009, my car side window was smashed and the thieves also stole my document bag with no value to them. I was not in my car when that incident happened. My car was parked at Jalan SS21/9. A witness to the incident told me that it is done by two young guy wearing school uniform.

Last year, my father was also nearly fall prey to this robbery syndicate. He has just gone down from a bus at Jalan Syed Putra where Mid Valley Megamall is situated when a group of foreigners (not sure Bangladesh or Nyammar) pretending to fight and tried to pull my father along. Luckily my father able to act fast, he managed to stop the next bus and jump into the bus. From the bus window, he saw that as soon as he has gone up the bus, the group of foreigners was not fighting anymore.

There are countless snatch thieves incidents happen everyday and the police cannot do much to help. I think they also somehow become immune to it. Am I using the right term? Not sure!

Perhaps the government should look into using robotics surveillance device.
