Her phone was snatched while she was texting in a jeepney!

I have seen so many instances like that... and I for one had experienced being a victim of it... not by snatching my phone though but rather slashing my backpack as I am going off the jeepney in about just 3 steps... VOILA! The phone disappeared already in just a split second with two slashes on my bag. I tried to follow jeepney where the culprit might still be boarding on... but to no avail... they were GONE. So I guess, if I was the girl, I would not waste my time running after them... but I might SCREAM LOUD for help from the bystanders who might be able to trip off the snatcher while running... I saw one time a scenario like that... wherein a concern bystander was able to help a lady just by tripping the snatcher that passed by him. Excellent way of PUTTING the culprit into custody of the police. Lucky GIRL! Good citizen there.

for me i'll just ignore it. i will tell you a story, one time when my aunt, my cousin & i went to divisoria, i think it was just 2 weeks ago, we're just sitting inside the jeepney, & of course there was a traffic jam, then suddenly someone from the outside of the jeepney stole my cousin's earring with less than 5 secs! can you imagine how fast is that! have you seen XXX documentary about the "pitas" gang in divisoria & QC? if you have watched it then you're aware of it, i just teased my cousin & told her that "hey, i saw you on tv ha!" lol anywayz, back to your topic, as i have said earlier, it's dangerous to chase those assh0les, coz it's really not worthy to risk your own life with just a thousand of pesos, i can replace my phone with a new one, but my life is irreplaceable

acellphone is not worth losing your life overall sorts of things going on these days they could have had that phone the last thing i would have done is chased them.it could have really turn out badly.hi,salonga how are you

She must have learned her lesson now maam. She should not do texting or calling while on a jeepney. Snatchers are all around now because life these days are hard and they do that for survival. What a very bad way to survive.

Thats actually a very common scene here in the Philippines. Public places are nowhere close to safe nowadays especially that holiday season is nearing and they would be more likely to take advantage of people who are crowding in areas. I think it would be better to just let the snatcher go, you might just be placing your life in danger if you would still be running after your phone. I guess people sometimes have to learn their lesson the hard way. We already know that public places are not very safe to show your phones and especially in jeepneys. And the worst thay i have heard even is earnings are even being snatched off a girls ear in jeepneys, the snatcher would just leave running after snatching leaving the girls ear bleeding. I think that is the worst i have seen in the tv news. I hope these people really get caught.

I won't do that. I am very sure that the snatcher has many companions. It is too risky. It was her all fault why she was texting inside the jeepney. Snatching is very rampant nowadays. Good day!

nope. it's too dangerous to be chasing those people. you don't know if they have companions. it's more practical to leave a statement to the cops and let them take care of it. it's just a phone, you can always buy a new one. but if you get stabbed or shot just by pursuing the culpirt, then it would be a greater loss.
