Did we learn from the birds?

Snatch thieves (more like robbers) are so common in Malaysia. Many victims did not report to the police because they are often told 'biasa lah' and some police even discourage them from reporting so as not to reflect badly on them. However, we have come across a number of victims who succumbed to their serious injuries.

I see some similarities (the stealth and snatching part, not the maiming) in the following pictures:





I have even heard of at least one case where the snatcher came back and threw shit at the victim when he found that the jewellery was a fake.
