Crime Scene
Last week, I witnessed a crime while I was in the bus.
I was on my way home at around 12:30am. The bus stopped along Edsa Munoz, in front of Mcdonalds. The bus stayed there for a several minutes and while waiting for passengers, I looked outside the window to observe, just to observe the people.
There was this one fat woman standing in front of Jolibee. She's not the only one waiting there actually, there were many people walking, some were selling something. Then while this fat woman is looking for a taxi or a bus maybe, she's holding her bag a little tightly on her right shoulder.
Suddenly, 2 men riding a motorcycle came from nowhere. The second man took the bag from this fat woman with all force. The incident happened so quickly. The bag was taken from the woman. The woman tried to run after the motorcycle. I was not sure if the woman shouted but it seemed nobody noticed what really happened to her until she cried and was really in state of panic mode. People noticed her and as I can tell from where I was seated, she begun telling what happened.
I was not sure if there were people or some kind taxi driver who chased the snatcher.
On the other side of the road was a police car, and perhaps, there were policemen there. They did not know anything. Until then, the bus I was riding in moved and proceed. The policemen tried to follow where these snatchers went to but one thing was sure then, they wont be able to catch them. First, they were wearing helmet so their faces where covered. Last, the motorcycle does not have a plate number except for the word unregistered at its back.
Poor woman, I wonder how she went back home. Everything was taken from her. I hoped then that there would be kind people who helped her.
Upon seeing the crime, i felt nervous. I had a lot of what if's.. What if I was in the woman's shoes. what if that happened to.. what if.. what if..
I was just paranoid as I had one bad memorable experience somehow related to what happened to her.
Anyway, it was over, I was able to get back home safely. I have forgotten that incident actually but I tried to remember as I want to share it to you guys.
Please be safe always.
When waiting for a bus, a taxi or jeepney, please secure your belongings.
Dont put everything in your bag.
Put some money in your pocket.
Take good care of yourself.
Be sensitive and observant.
Chillax!
