Handphone theft alert
 

Sorry don't know whether appropriate to post this here but will do since I bore witness to two incidents in three days! Bros beware there seems to be people targeting to steal handphones these days. I was at Macdonalds watching EPL Saturday and noticed this PRC just drinking coke and looking suspicious. He was obviously not into watching soccer. Saw one bro put his handphone beside his iPad and was busy watching and he walked past and seemed to be trying to steal it. The bro was alert and immediately looked up at him and this guy pretend nothing and walk away. Today at lunch saw another incident. Two students on laptops and phones on the side. One foreign looking guy, think is Indo or pinoy, kept walking past them. An uncle came to tell them to be watchful over their phones. So everyone be on alert, besides the costly loss, will be losing all the meimei's contacts and/or sexy or sexed photos!

I think no matter which location, this types of social problems are part and parcel of allowing too many foreigners into the country. Just keep a tight watch in your valuables and these thieves won't have chance to strike.

Bros, the macs is at Bedok bus central and the food court is at West Mall. Don't think it is a location thing. Now I am much more careful with my mobile and valuables too.

If you are in china, the locals will tell you that your valuables can never be exposed. and your bag needs to be "secured" by sitting on the strap or putting it on the lap.

Re: Handphone theft alert
 

Agreed. My cousins and other family members have all fallen victim to such situations. A few of them got lucky and got their valuables back.

In Singapore, keeping valuables in pockets should be safe enough. Overseas, you might want to invest in a hidden pouch that keeps your valuables literally next to your body.

Precisely. Singapore is no longer as "low crime rate" as before with the type of questionable foreigners that we are importing.

Keep watch on your valuables else it might beeping to others.
