A Handphone Robbery

itunes: Cassandra Wilson, Belly Of The Sun (2002)

Last Saturday morning, my sister came rushing home, screaming that her handphone has been robbed under the broad daylight while she was exercising at the park nearby. My mum was so excited and she related the whole story to me after my sister headed for the shower. Apparently, the robber pushed her and 'snatched' the handphone from her shorts’ pocket, leaving her in total shock, so much so that she has forgotten to scream or ran after the thief.

I’m not trying to be mean here but after hearing what my mum said, I laughed and asked her to give some thought over the whole incident. In the first place, how could someone 'snatched' the handphone from you when it is resting in your shorts’ pocket? Logically speaking, in order to someone to commit such a freak crime like this, the thief has to be swift in his actions cos there are many steps that he has to take before getting the prize. In my eyes, this is definitely a stupid thief who did not even think of snatching efficiently.

Consider this.
In the first place, the thief has to be damn close to my sister. So close enough to give her a tight push and at the same time, slipped his hand into her pocket and take the handphone, turned and ran away. This act really not only needed good hand and leg coordination but also agile reflex actions. Nevertheless, he must be damn lucky to have chosen ‘slow-witted’ sister. HAHA I repeat, I dun mean to be mean but think again. At such a close proximity, any human being would have sensed the presence of someone close, right? So I told my mum that she deserved it cos I could not see how can she be so instinctively immune to her surrounding? My mum giggled a bit after hearing what I said but still she commented that I should show empathy on my sister's plight. Well well, all I know is my mum's giggling showed that she agreed with me. HAHA

But then, come to think of it, the case still does not make any sense to me. I would think the most possible scenario for snatching to happen is when my sister is holding the handphone in her hand. If this is true, this lead to another question, why would someone hold a handphone in the hand while exercising? Tsk tsk….that’s really needs lots of pondering. HAHA

In conclusion, my sister is damn loser. HAHA oops……guess I better be careful of my handphone and ipod too.
