The Perfect Heist

This is the story of how to rob and get rich quick. Sure, it's no Ocean's 11 or the Italian Job but it gets the job done and its 90% full proof! How,u might wonder? It's simple actually. Pickpoketing in train stations in Malaysia!

1.Get a group of people, preferably 2 or 3. Make sure one is big sized and rugged enough while another is good at pickpoketing.

2.Avoid monorails and ktms. Monorails usually have security officers and Ktm and always jammed packed. Putra would be the best line for the heist.

3.Wait for peak hours, when the trains are usually packed with tonnes and tonnes of people until everyone is butt kissing each other.This makes the perfect opportunity for the big guy to push around while the other guy gets working by pickin through the pockets of a guy.

Note: the victim os almost defenceless as his hands are holding the rail and it's so packed that he can barely move.

4.Arrive at the next station. Before the door closes, head out. This way ,there's no time for the victim to catch up even if he realized it was gone..That means you get a new phone and maybe wallet and stuff!

Easy enough right?The chances of getting caught are low right?You know why i know all of this. That's caused i experienced it just 2 days ago!Apparently,it's very normal here in Malaysia(not just talking about KL and JB but other parts as well)What was a bit shocking to me was that those people are probably not Malaysians but immigrants. That's because after getting the phone, the made international calls( mine was to Brazil). So why are Malaysians so kind hearted enough to let them stay and let them rob the daylight out of us!?

I do have one suggestion though to lower this. Put security guards on the platforms in LRT stations. That way pickpoketers are more afraid to take action and the guards can control the traffic as well. To me, this simple step might acutally heavily reduce the occurance of such cases.

Really, the sign 'Beware of pickpoketers '.. does anyone think it bloody does any good?
