This is the second time I was victimized and almost losing the same cellphone one idiot tried to grab two years ago. I was about to head for the university this morning and chose the front seat of a jeep which can accommodate two passengers. Someone chose the front seat despite only one passenger at the back. I thought it was strange. He struck a conversation with a driver as if he was an old friend. The driver simply feigned deafness and I was shocked at first by the driver's attitude. He decided to pay his fare and then "accidentally" the coins. I "helped" him pick one coin first. He asked to search for the other between my feet. I simply raised my foot lazily and then found one near his shoe. I was about to grab it when I began to realize what if this was just a ploy? I glanced at my right pocket and sure enough, his hand was already there!:mad2: I grabbed my pocket and stared stonily at the snatcher at the point I already turned pale and teary eyed. He kept apologizing over and over and eventually went down the vehicle, much to my relief although I was shaken already when I reached the university.

This is pathetic. People are victimizing the poor students.:headshake2: I already reported this incident to the security and demanded they add more law enforcers in the university belt. In the meantime, I'm getting more wary now. This is traumatic to me.:( Would anyone suggest pepper spray is the best defense mechanism?
 
No way! invest in one of those fashion Tasers. Get one in cheetah. I am so not even joking. Or get the kind that shoots out so you don't have to be in close contact and you can get him again if he comes at you! My friend got her, wallet, bank card, and ipod all stolen. She reported it and they didn't believe it because he left her phone. I don't think so. As such mesures are not allowed here, I took Karate. Not great at it, but just need to know a few key things. I don't play that.

Ps. I am very sorry that that happened to you :(

Pss. Reef, I still have that doll avatar ready, in 5 different outfits! Moohaha!

Hmmm..I don't know, Niko. He could have done away with a weapon (assuming he even carries one) if I did it. The driver confessed he knew the snatcher but he just shut up because he feared for his life. I was resigned to the fact, after being told by my friends, that those who really knew these idiots are under fear of death threats so they seem to keep this problem rather quiet instead of having them arrested by the police.
 
That's aweful. Definately go for the pepper spray.
I'm planning to buy one this time. I just learned my lesson to watch my pockets closely although I normally bury my valuables deeper to avoid being snatched quickly but that wasn't enough.

That's awful. Why would they not believe her? People sometimes leave a few valuables so it'll appear the victim is just fooling around. That's my theory anyway unless he doesn't know she has a phone?
 
IDK because they're idiots!? Then another person went and reported their phone stolen! He didn't take hers because he already got someone elses. It was really bad cuz she had a really nice ipod and had to go through the trouble of shutting down her cards.

Still think you shoud go with the taser (in Cheetah print!). I'd have one if it wasn't illegal.
 
Tazers are illegal in some places. In the US the are illegal for citizen use in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Michigan, New York, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. In Conneticut they are legal for home use only.
