The news article online dated 19 January 2011 is about a guy who steals a laptop in the restaurant right under the owner’s nose. However, the owner and his friends are totally oblivious to their surroundings. The thief can be seen using his feet to drag the bag by its strap towards him, before stealing the laptop inside. This man was caught on CCTV stealing a laptop in a restaurant, even though the owner was close by. Most amazingly, the thief managed to get away without being caught.
I am actually impressed by the thief’s actions because he managed to steal the owner’s belongings even right under the owner’s nose. The bag is just on the floor beside the owner and yet he didn’t even notice that someone manage to pull his bag away, open it and even manage to steal his laptop. Even his friends nearby him didn’t manage to catch the thief’s actions as they were so engrossed in their conversations. Despite the waiters walking around, none of them saw what he did.
I personally think that people should learn to look after their belongings well and keep them within sight. Thieves are getting bolder these days. Even right under the owner’s nose, things can get lost when they not well taken care of. They are so skilful nowadays that they can even steal and get away unnoticed by any of the friends nearby. It can happen to any of us here, so beware.
