What if a pregnant woman snatched your wallet? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people8 months ago

For my sister, it was a very unpredictable event. She was on her way home from work and she took a public utility vehicle. She noticed a pregnant woman was sitting very alert at her side with eyes that were "hawky".
She didn't mind it at first but when the PUV stopped, the pregnant woman suddenly grabbed her wallet and took of the vehicle. My sister was shocked! But she gained her wits quickly and she ran after the woman.
The woman could not run fast because of her situation (she was really pregnant, at first I thought she was just acting and what's on her tummy were just clothes, but hey she was really). So my sister went at her, and confronted her. Fortunately, the woman didn't put up a fight and returned my sister's wallet.
My sister said she was really fired up but she felt pity towards the pregnant woman. I think the woman did it for money to buy food for her and the baby. Too bad it was the wrong means.
So what do you think about this situation? Or have encountered the same?

I don't think it matters that she was pregnant - she shouldn't have stolen the wallet. For all she knew your sister might have been desperatley needing that money. There are many people who are in need of things, but can you imagine how this world would be if we all just stole it?


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

Yes, I agree stealing is bad regardless of your intentions. And the world would be in big chaos if that happens. But I think that woman has no support from the father of her child that is why she steals.;-(

i would have taken out my evil monkey paw and told her about the curse that goes with it and then touched her with it and when she had her baby it would have been born a monkey!


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

You can't say that, she's still a human being that carries another life form in her, I think the last thing she needs is a curse...

Stealing is stealing whether you are pregnant or not.
It is wrong.
I can understand it, especially in these days. But still it is wrong.
If I were very hungry I might end up doing it too, but that does not make it right.
There must be an other way to get food.
Especially if you are pregnant, you could ask someone.
If she would have asked you or your sister for something to eat, I beleive you would have gladly helped. But, for her to just steal it, got her nowhere.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

Yes, that is a good point. If she just asked for food or maybe somee money, people might have helped her, especially in her situation. But you can never tell what goes inside the mind of other people. Maybe the woman thinks she could just get away with it...


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 1,185 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

Or maybe her hormones made her do it. lol
Seriously, she must have some problems or she would not have done it.
But, that still does not make it right.
This is no way to solve any problem.
It only gives you new ones.
Being pregnant and stealing, everyone will notice you.
You cannot get away that easy.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  7 months ago

Yeah, it's twice bad in her situation since she's pregnant.
She will easily get noticed, and she can't run!
Hormones? Hmmmn, I believe it's the necessity.
Happy mylotting!
happy

This is indeed a awkward situation which I hope I will not fall into as I am not sure how to behave specifically. But yes as I imagine I cansay that I will also run after her and then I will want to know why she did so and what I can do to help her our though her action was not a good one but as a human being I will surely look to it and know the situation which forced her to do so.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

The situation is really awkward, as my sister supposed. But we can't do anything about the woman because what she did was wrong... Maybe if she just asked for food somebody might have helped her...


myLot reputation of 91/100. med889 (2804)   ranked 1,841 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

Sometimes people do it when they are forced also so it is good to know the reason behind. If she had to ask for food I am 100% sure people would have given her as she is a pregnant woman but stealing while being pregnant is a bit strange to it.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  7 months ago

Do you think she's forced to do it?... blink
Hmmm that's a new angle to the incident...
However, who might be so bad to force her to do it?

Oh that was bad.. You really shouldn't trust just anyone. Whenever I'm in a public vehicle I would always be careful of people around me and cautious of them because some are in a disguise of a decent clothes when in truth they have bad motives. And always pray.. that really works


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

Thanks for the reminder... Who can be cautious over a pregnant woman? We have no idea even pregnant women do that nowadays...


ekimflow (88)   ranked 14,257 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

yes they hunt their victims by seeing who's not aware of what and who's around them,then when your not aware of them they strike!and when people let them go because they have a sob story they become a victim again.you can't judge who the bad guy is by the way their dressed because while your watching out for the bum in front of you his partner in the business suit picks you pocket.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  7 months ago

You actually had that experience?..
Those were professional crooks,
they know how to do their thing.
And that's awful...

What the pregnant woman did was wrong. Stealing anything from anyone is wrong.
If you let the pregnant woman who stole your sister's wallet go, you did something wrong, too. Why? You let a thief just go away.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

Yes, letting somebody do a crime regardless of the motive makes him also a sinner.

stupid is as stupid does,who give a rats behind if she was a preggo.she's a crook and should be treated like one!if she would have had a gun and shot an killed your sister would it have been ok because she's pregnant?that's what wrong with the world today,everybody say's it's not my fault,i have a problem.you know they don't have that kind of trouble in the arab world,as they cut off your hand for stealing and they don't have any three time losers,kind of hard to do it after the second time huh?


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

Oh I see you have a different way of dealing with thieves. I can't believe about the gun thing and shooting, that's horrible... I think the pregnant woman can't do that, she was just stealing. Can pregnant women fire guns?...;-(

This is a strange story. I cannot understand what would possess a pregnant woman to take other people's wallets.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

It is strange, yes, but it is also reality. As what I've said, maybe she has no money to buy food to support her baby. Maybe the father of the child ran away from her... We really don't know...

That's tragic man. It's sad that people has to do such kind of a desperate act to survive. Although it's not a good one. It's kinda stupid because she knew she can't run fast because of her situation but she still took your sister's wallet. I would feel the same thing like what your sister felt. But, it should be properly dealt with proper due. Imagine if everyone is in a situation like her, desperate to survive, everyone would be stealing. What will happen to us?


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

If everyone would be stealing, the world would go crazy... And I don't even wanna talk about it. It is indeed tragic, man. I pity the poor lady...

9. myLot reputation of 93/100. gcorp09 (548)   ranked 5,825 out of 35,455 in people   8 months ago

Well, I had yet to encounter such incidents before. However, no matter if she's pregnant or not, I don't think that stealing is the right way to do. Even if she had no money to buy food for herself and the baby, the last thing a person should do is to steal. She should think of the consequences for herself and the baby. What if the person insists on to bring her to the police? What if when she was running away, she falls down and the baby got hurt, or she even lost the baby this way?

In any way, if she really do not have any money, she should work for it. If no one's willing to employ her because of her stomach, then I will say that she can try to apply for some help from some charity organizations in her neighborhood/state. I believe that if it's a genuine case, the charity organization will not turn her away...


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

That's a good sugestion gcorp, but in our place, there's not much charitable organizations who takes care of pregnant women. Maybe she wasn't really thinking about the consequences after all, she just did that for the spur of the moment to have money... I feel sorry for the baby...


myLot reputation of 93/100. gcorp09 (548)   ranked 5,825 out of 35,455 in people  8 months ago

It's really sad to hear that the charity organization are not there... However, I do agree with you that she's probably doing it without much thinking. She may be quite desperate, but I still do not encourage such behavior no matter how desperate a person can be. It's certainly wrong, and if she keep on doing it, what will happen to the child later?

It's really very sad that these type of things happened and no one is to help them.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  7 months ago

Well, it is really a reality. sad

People are starving, so they do stupid acts to save themselves...

If we can't help them, then who are we to feel pity? confused

Because feeling pity but doing nothing to help them is useless...


myLot reputation of 93/100. gcorp09 (548)   ranked 5,825 out of 35,455 in people  7 months ago

Well, that's true. I do agree with you that they are desperate, so they will do anything. I do believe that we have to do our part to reach out to these unfortunate if possible. Yes, I do know that it may be hard, but if we happen to see any of these people, we should refer them to the charity organization which is nearest to them. However, if they do not want to help themselves, we can't do anything either. I do know from television that some of these people refused to go to charity organizations for help even though they are so poor that they do not have enough to eat.


myLot reputation of 87/100. calyxus (424)   ranked 2,555 out of 35,455 in people  7 months ago

Yes that is the sad part, some people don't want help even if they badly need it.
Is it the pride?
sad


myLot reputation of 93/100. gcorp09 (548)   ranked 5,825 out of 35,455 in people  7 months ago

Well, I do agree with you. It's really sad that they had denied help that they badly needed just because of pride. That's what I believed so too. Well, we can't do much if they do not allow help themselves...
