In my earlier posts, I had warned about professional thieves in
singapore. Their modus operandi is to spend their days wandering
around chinatown, jalan besar and little india, eyeing careless
people and waiting for opportunity. Yes - opening pax side door and
removing your phone is one of them. They normally dont like taking
your bags - too big. Be careful when the area does not have cctv.
Eg. temple street. So you be surprised that geylang gives u less
problems.
It does not matter if its day or night. These buggers operate
round the clock.
To me, any poorly dressed person wandering alone and along
roadsides and carparks are suspects.
You know its a thief when their eyes are focused into the car
interior and they tend to walk close to cars. Normal people walk
straight to their vehicle and usually dont bother whats in other
people cars.
These are the kind of people u need to shout and ask 'kua si me
lan jiao!'
