What an unwanted experience I had early this morning!  |
| |
| I had a bad day today--February 28th, 2010, though it is our traditional Lantern Festival by the lunar calendar. Early this morning between 5:05 to 5:30 when I was standing still outside Hangzhou North Bus Station with one of my heavy backbacks on my back, I was encountered with a lady pickpocket, who stole all my money in my back pocket of my trousers. What was more strange was the button of my back pocket got unlocked without my knowing about it. I did not discover this until when it was time I had to pay for my bus ticket next to the ready-moving bus. I felt so bad with no money to pay for a bus ticket, but the driver was so nice and kind and let me pay him after I reached our school gate where I borrowed some money from our gate-keeper, who lent it to me at once after my telling him about my bad luck and experience. Getting the money, I ran all the way to the bus and gave the ticket money to the driver with great thanks to him. It is the third time that I have ever had my money stolen. I have learned a lot from this case and will try to be always careful not to have this happen again. Have you had a similar experience, please? | | Be careful and stay safe | | | | |

| | It is horrible. If the driver had not given this convenience, I would be delayed in the city. What a nice driver and what a terrible picket pocket. Take care, my dear friend. | | | |

| | I know it was her because she was the only one standig next to me and another fifty-year-old man before me. What was strange was the man squatted close to my other two bags placed on the floor next to me. He did not have any luggage of his with him. His action made me stand facing him for the safety of my bags. This way I happened to leave the woman standing behind my back leaving her a chance for my money in the pocket as I was carrying another heavy bag on my back. They both came after me. When I told this situation to the driver, he and all the other passengers agreed that it was their joint performance for it. "Maybe this bus station had cameras around where they could catch a glimpse of the thief." In many places they have installed cameras. I would like to try to find a phone number and call the bus station for it if possible...Take care, friend. | | | |

| | I am soo soo very sorry to hear you had this bad thing happen to you my dear friend William, such a nice gentleman and does not deserve this. I truly hope it was not a huge amount that the thief stole, as money is so hard to come by. Oh yes, one must be vigilant to avoid these things in life. There are others, as you know, who do this for a living and are planning and looking for opportunity every second. Awareness is key and must be worked on. I suggest now to you my friend that before you leave the house, be like the soldier, and check all before you go, like a military operation..survival is key and you will beat these do no gooders. This did not happen to me ever, but it did happen to my sister, as she was foolish to leave her bag down in the bus station and turn away for a moment. | | | | | | |

| | Please take care of yourself while watching the sea storm. Make sure that you are far away from any sea storm. Every year in Hangzhou Bay, a lot of people come to see the Qiantang Tidal and every year some careless viewers were swallowed and swept by it. Exciting it is, safety is the best policy while you are enjoying it, my dear friend. | | | |

| | Oh yes, as beauty can be very decieving my dear wise friend..I will be very careful, as I was so very tempted to go out to see it the other night, but I did not, as I feared exactly being swallowed. | | | |

| | I am very sorry for the pick pocket williamjisir, this should not have happened to you. You are such a helping hand and good person by heart. Anyway I am happy your journey went on uninterrupted. I faced this situation once long ago. I went to a departmental store. My son was small and I was holding his hand and selecting things. Suddenly he asked me to carry him and started crying. He was afraid of the crowd. When I was concentrating on him, somebody opened my bag and took money from it. Fortunately in a hurry, they could lay their hands on a part of the money only. I learnt a lessen from that incident and now I keep my money in the inside zip of the handbag. | | | | | | |

| | I agree that they are professional pickpockets. Otherwise I would have felt it when the dirty hand put into my back pocket. I will be more careful. Thank you, my dear marketing friend. | | | |

| | Hi William, it's sad to hear you are in this deep trouble, early in the morning. Well, my parents always advice me not to put my purse or even my cell phone at the back pocket of my pants or trousers. It's not a save area, since we are hard to turn around to our back and see what's happening. My uncle ever got pickpocket twice, when he was standing in the bus. There are full of passengers, so it's hard to know which passenger had pickpocket and stolen his wallet and cell phone. It's more save to put your wallet in the front pocket of your trousers. Happy Lantern Festival.... | | | | | | |

| | Hello myfb. You are right to say that it is safer to put the wallet in the front pocket of the trousers. From this case, I have learned to be more careful with my money while traveling and having to stay somewhere that is crowded. Thank you for the comment, my dear friend. Take care. | | | |

| | Hey williamjisir! OMG! That is so terrible! But, you said that this was the third time this has happened to you! Didn't you learn from the first two times to keep your money close to you and not in your back pocket! Obviously, wherever you live this is an occurence that is common! I live in the USA, in NY and we know that there are many pick pockets and know to take the proper precautions as to where we keep our money and credit cards! I try to be very careful when I have cash on me! And my boyfriend never carries cash in his wallet ever! He puts his cash in his sock! And I suggest for now on you do the same! Take this as a safety tip! Put your cash into your sock and your money will be safe from now on! Sometimes you have to learn the hard way! | | | | | | |

| | sorry to hear of your bad experience, dear friend. My son lost his wallet for three times, now every time he leaves, I am like a broken record reminding him to put his wallet at his front pocket or put his bag in front. I also experienced losing my wallet in my bag, a middle aged woman who's sitting besides me in a jeepney keep on smiling every time, I faces her. When I got home my other things were falling already only to realized my bag was slashed and my wallet was gone. I no longer trust Passengers who smile at me whenever i'm in a bus or jeepney. We learn from our experiences though. Take care, William. | | | | | | |

| | Hello 4mymak. I am glad that you have not encountered such a bad enperience. Before I left home for the train and bus, my wife told me to be careful with it, but I was so sure that it would not be stolen as I believed that I could feel it if someone touched my back pocket in the trousers. It proved that I am wrong. I will be more careful now. Thank you for the comment, my dear friend. Take care. | | | |

| | Hello Mr. Williamjisir! It was a very bad experience. What surprises me are two things: 1. How can they steal things from our own body and not feel it. I think this people are very lucky or talented because I would never take the risk of doing such thing, and yet, they are sucessful most of the time. 2. How come it wasn't the first time you've been stolen. Some people have never been stolen and some others have been several times. I have a friend that moved to the town I am at because she used to lived in the biggest city of my country and had several bad experiences like the one you had today. A month ago someone broke into her house and stole a lot of valuable things. They were not home, but they manage to steal TV's, other electronics, gym machines and not even one neighbor heard anything or at least thats what they say! Its very dissapointing that humans do this things to others, many say they have their reasons but its absolutely not the right thing to do. Hope this is the last time this happens to you, Libna. Happy mylotting! | | | | | | |

| | Hello Libna. I am also wondering how come I did not feel it when the dirty hand placed into my back trouser pocket. It could be the heavy backpack that made me not feel it, I guess. I do hope that it would be the last time I would ever have such a bad experience. It is really a very bad feeling to have money and something stolen like that. I will surely try to be more careful anywhere and anytime away from home. Thank you for the response, friend. Take care. | | | |
