well it was over 5-6 years when this happens. these were the times that my mom and i were still getting along well with each other.
my mom and i decided to go to some boutique shop (which is bench) because she told me that there was a sale on bench. so we quickly go there. i leave my mom in the blouse section and i went to the underwear section lol but when i looked at my mom there was this strange couple (their age was near 30's) beside my mom. so i went quickly in the blouse section and i just observe them because they're very suspicious. to my surprise, i saw the man opening my mom's bag (and i know that his partner would get my mom's wallet because she's blocking my way, pretending that she's also looking on some blouses) and my mom wasn't aware of that because she's too busy on choosing which blouse she would buy for me then i quickly grab my mom in her arms and tell her that i need to buy some jeans lol then i looked at them from head to foot then they just go out of the boutique.
i was afraid that time so that was the only thing that i did. after that i told her the real reason why i grabbed her and she was very surprised as well.
was this ever happened on you?

I have never been a victim of shoplifters. But I experienced that when I was on a bus. That day, I went out shopping with my friend. On our way back, the bus was really crowded. I was so tired that I close my eyes to have some rest and put my hands on top of my hands. Then I felt somebody was approaching me. I opened my eyes to check twice and found nothing wrong. But the third time I found the man in front of me was stretching his hand to my bag. Noticing that I saw his action, he drew back but didn't mean to give up because he thought I was alone. Then I called my friend and that man finally walked to the back of the bus.

Hi dear rhane, once my purse was snatched away while I was buying some cookies in front of the shops by a stranger who was believed to have ambushed around for quite some time there. My hubby and few customers there tried to chase the thief who then quickly got on to the back seat of his gang’s motorbike waiting in the dark nearby. They sped up and soon disappeared in another street, leaving my husband and few kind hearted helpers panting then.
