..gold snatching cases on this rise in our city..

I am so sorry to read about this horrible incident! Crime is everywhere - not only where you stay. Likewise the police here are helpless. I do not wear any jewelry at all because I seldom feel safe when I am walking. The robbers do not even wait anymore for night time to rob a person. I think it is because they know that the police cannot do much... It is a hopeless situation...

I think this is very common in some cities everywhere. Being a city would mean many people, all kinds of them. Snatchers, pickpockets, burglars or any other crimes you can name, the city have it. It's good that your mother and sister were not badly hurt. While in the city, I think the best we should do is, be alert and always on guard. And if possible never wear valuable things especially in public places that might tempt ill minded people.

That sound dangerous , I would not wear any goal are any kinda valuable jewelry either . Good to know nothing happen to your sister but I feel bad for the ones that are not that lucky . I remember my mother telling me about things like that used to happen in my country capital city . Those days are long gone here and I am so happy for that .

In my country it is called 'cash for gold' as people do weigh gold right there on the street and pay cash so crimes in this area has increased. The criminals will steal gold and sell to these people. The price of gold is high right now. We women, have to take precautions and not wear gold on the street any more. It is a difficult crome to solve as the criminals move so fast and usually work in groups so that no one near the person robbed can go to their assistance. Very sad.

This is also happening here in our country and now ladies are not wearing gold ornaments anymore. Instead, women wore fake fashionable jewelries to avoid this incident of snatching. Wearing gold ornaments is too dangerous and may lead into accidents. Good to know that your sister and mother is unharmed- hope those snatchers will be caught soon.

What a bad experienced brought by those snatchers to your mother and sister. Trauma will surely the effect on their emotional and psychological factors due to the said occurrence - hopefully it won't that serious. Anyway, such kinds of incidents are also very rampant to my country (Phils), some worst cases scenario happened was ended up getting the life of the victims. There are culprits (snatchers) who have no heart and very brutal elements that when you refused to give what they need surely they will kill you eventually without any hesitation. The life of people are seems not that important and precious to them, what keeps them more important are those things that they can actually gain money to support and sustain their vices. Sometimes, rumor headlines to the public that the mere reason why such criminal are not eradicated and still determined to do their wicked works because the law enforcers itself are the sole protectors. Such law enforcers who are tasked by the government to protect the life and property of every individual out of any harm and losses and to maintain the safety and security of every people in the society. However, and needless to say, that the persons that we are expected too are not performing their work well according to their oath, conscience and principle as a security servant of the people. Truly indeed that there's no safety on this world. Thus, one thing we can do is to be more vigilant and take extra care all the time. Because if the government will not cut the weeds that stop the weight and balance of justice, these heinous crimes will remain recurring and chronic and the sad thing is when these will be more deteriorated and aggravated in the future.

Unles policing is increased in such areas and some of the guilty quickly punished, such incidents would not stop. It is a pity and shame. Another option could be increased vigilance by some of the Resident societies, but there too police must provide some form of help.

Hi I think everyone is facing this problem these days. In our city too chain snatching started from few months. Everyone is really afraid . I dont know why police department is not taking proper action against them. The cases are increasing day by day.
