The Star ran a report today about the Push Pocket modus operadi, as opposed to pick pocket. Push Pocket means that small items like mobile phones or wallet are pushed into the pocket of a victim. The victim is then accused of stealing. An accomplice would then come over and claims to have seen the victim stealing.
This has been all abuzz on the internet but the authorities have denied that this has happened probably because they don’t want to jeopardize the image of the country.
I guess we will never know the truth of it unless it happens to us or someone close to us. In any case, whether pick or push pocket, it doesn't hurt to be extra careful especially when we are traveling alone and when there are people coming close to us.
While we have been on the alert for pick pockets and snatch thieves, we now also have to be alert of push pockets as well!
