Survival Skills : Motive and Opportunity

Have  you  ever  happened  to  be  an  eye-witness  to  a  snatch theft  crime? Or  you  yourself  was  once  victimized  by  these  hopeless  bunch  of  criminals? Bear  in  mind, crimes  never  notify  anyone. They  take  place  when  we  are  in  default!


The  wind  was  blowing  quite  chill  and  strong  this  night, it  was  so  cold. My  friend  and  I  were  walking  our  feet  back  to  dorm  when  something  unexpected  was  about  to  snatch  our  attention.

There  was  this  lady, walking  all  alone  approximately  10  meters  away  behind  us. At  the  beginning, we  were  unaware  of  this  one  lady  presence  behind  us. The  road  was  also  quite  vacant. Assumption  has  it  that, people  have  gone  back  to  their  hometown  to  celebrate  the  upcoming  Hari  Raya  Aidilfitri.

Not  long  after, a  sound  of  lady  screaming  voice  occupied  the  sky. We  took  a  look  at  our  back  and  guess  what? A  crime  took  place  as  this  lady's  handbag  was  snatched  off  of  her  safe keeping. It  was  so  swift  that  the  criminals  successfully  accomplished  their  evil  mission  of  the  night  in  no  time.

How  did  the  lady  reacted  to  the  event? She  screamed  and  ran  towards  her  two  friends. Yeah, we  had  no  idea  that  the  two  persons  walking  in  front  of  us  were  actually  her  friends.

Did  the  lady  got  her  handbag  back? No, she  didn't. As  a  result, she  lost  her  handbag  which  I  believe, contained  an  amount  of  cash, ATM  card, and  most  importantly, her  identification  card  in  only  few  seconds.

Now, she  would've  been  able  to  avoid  from  being  a  victim, if  she  took  precautions  from  as  early  as  she  left  from  wherever  she  was  for  a  walk  at  the  outside, wouldn't  she?

Fellas, there  are  two  essential  elements  that  need  to  be  fulfilled  for  a  snatch theft  crime  to  occur. 

First, MOTIVE  and  second, OPPORTUNITY.


Look  over  for  these  two  elements. Crime  wouldn't  happened  without  motive. If  motive  is  present, please  please  and  please, DO  NOT  EXPOSE  the  opportunity  for  the  criminals  to  accomplish  their  motive!

How  do  we  sense  motive  so  that  we  can  stay  cautious? As  a  matter  of  fact, we  do  not  possess  such  ability. The  only  solution  to  our  defect  in  detecting  motive  is, stay  CAUTIOUS  at  ALL time!

If  we  really  are  serious  with  our  intention  to  curb  this  crime, well  then, let's  gather  our  forces  and  topple  those  criminals  out  there  at  once!






p/s : A  word  of  advice, do  NOT  fight  with  criminals  during  your  encounter  with  them. Not  only  they  will  snatch  your  bag, but  also  your  life.
