Snatcher in the train<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
On Nov. 25, I took the electric train at Bojonggede station at
\nabout 11:30 a.m. The carriage I was in was not too crowded and
\nall the passengers were seated.<\/p>\n
When the train arrived at Depok station, a group of children
\naged between eight and ten years old, wearing monkey masks, got
\ninto the train, and began entertaining the passengers with songs
\nand dances. Their show attracted more passengers, while new
\npassengers got onto the train.<\/p>\n
As the train moved slowly at Lenteng Agung station, all of a
\nsudden I felt someone's hand grabbing my neck. Only a few seconds
\nafterwards, I realized that my necklace was gone. I saw a boy
\njumping quickly out of the moving train. I shouted and shouted,
\nbut in vain.<\/p>\n
What I was concerned about is the fact that the rascal who
\nsnatched my necklace was a boy of about eight years old. He was
\namong the new passengers and was standing close to me.<\/p>\n
Upon questioning the dance group I was told that the boy did
\nnot belong to the group. From the way how the boy had carried out
\nhis job, I can conclude that I was not the first victim of his
\ndevilish activities.<\/p>\n
