2013 April 11 at around 8:30 in the morning, while riding a jeep (in front) on my way to work, my bag (and everything in it: cell phone, digital camera, music player, wallet, among other things) was snatched from me by a man in his early twenty's. His accomplice was waiting for him on the other side of the wall / fence at the EXPRESSWAY (near Magallanes area).
It was such an agonizing experience. Having to see my things gone in a blink of an eye. There was nothing I could do but cry my heart out.
I HATE THIEVES! I always have and always will!
Thanks to the young lady beside me who gave me P20.00 so I can get to my place of work.
I cried some more. Then gathered my strength to write what happened to me as my status on Facebook.
Thank you to all those who expressed concerned. I really appreciate it.
The next day, I have no choice but to pass by the same route on my way to work. Got chills all over.
Once again, I gathered my strength to look at the wall / fence where I believe the robbers climbed over to. It was not high enough and there just broken glasses on top. Not enough to stop a person from committing a crime.
People responded to my Facebook status. Many commented that "marami talaga dyan sa area na yan" and "madami na nabiktima dyan". When my neighbor reported this incident to the authorities, she got the same response, "madami na nga po nai-report sa amin". And yet, NO ACTION is being done.
It would be very helpful if the fences are barbed-wired instead of just broken glasses. Or how about building a higher fence? During the incident, there was no one and nowhere to go to. Police visibility must be enhanced.
This is the first time that something like this happened to me. It was and still is very traumatic. I have trouble sleeping. The incident is on "replay mode" in my mind.
I believe this is ALARMING and I hope the authorities would give attention to this matter.
