make sure the bag and purse is out of sight, zai, or you'll be inviting the thieves to smash your car windows.
my friend had stopped at a traffic light junction in bangsar when a motorcyclist came up to her passenger side, smashed the window, grabbed her bag and sped off, and she was too shocked to do anything about it. she said it was over in a matter of seconds. that by the time she heard her window being smashed, turned her head to look, a hand has slipped inside her window and grabbed her bag and sped off with the bag still dangling from his hands.

I normally leave my handbag and purse in the car *with my children in the car of course* everytime I have to go to the ATM. I just carry the ATM card and put the cash safely in my pocket as I walk back to the car. If any 'peragut' want my money, they will have to take it out of my pocket which is not an easy task .

usually, it happened so fast that the victim is stunned. my mum has been a victim of snatch thief twice before. the first time, i was with her, and i didn't even know she had had her purse snatched. i was a kid at that time, and wondering why she was pulling the hand of the pillion rider of the motorcylist and dragging herself on the road. i didn't realise that the pillion rider was dragging her, becos she didn't let go of her purse. lucky the cars that were turning into the road (it was a cross junction) stopped in time or she'd be run over.

Notice how most of the victims never fought back and they were kinda dazed and blur on what was going on?
