Up until now, I can still clearly reminisce this incident that happened many years back. One morning, about 7 years ago, my mother brought my brother and me to the 1 Utama Shopping Complex to buy a birthday gift for me for my upcoming birthday.
When we got there, we parked our car in the car park, which was at that time rather empty and there were not many people around. Then, we alighted from our car and walked to the entrance nearest to us.
As we were walking into the entrance, suddenly a man ran from behind and snatched my mother’s handbag. He was patiently waiting behind a pillar to pounce on any easy prey that walked by. After that, he quickly ran to a blue Proton Wira that was waiting for him nearby. I can still recall that there were about three accomplices waiting for him in the car.
My mother shouted at them while they quickly sped off in their car. We were extremely shocked at what had happened to us which we totally did not expect at all. Luckily, my mother did not fall down or was not hurt in the incident as she was carrying her handbag in one of her hands. The car keys too was not taken as it was not in the handbag.
We then hurriedly got to our car and drove out of the car park. At the entrance of the car park, we told the guards there what happened and we went home. Once we reached home, my mother called my father to tell him about this incident and they went together to the police station nearby to lodge a report but there was nothing the police could do.
Approximately 200 ringgit was stolen along with some credit cards and my mother’s driving license. In spite of the valuables stolen, we could still consider ourselves lucky as none of us were hurt in this horrifying yet unexpected incident.
