London Thieives

In London, there seems to be so many thieves. If you are not careful in one moment, they will snatch your things away.

One day, I forgot to close my car door, they stole my sunglasses, brand new hydraulic jack, jump tool and a tool box. These will probably be sold on eBay or something by the thief.

At Chapham Junction station, someone stole my laptop bag, he picked up my laptop bag, which I had left on the ground between my legs.

He got on the train with my laptop bag, the train which just arrived to Waterloo at the other side platform and was gone. Security camera impossible to find him, because covered face with mask.

Thieves consider themselves to be stronger than honest people, to them nowdays an honest person is considered a fool..
