Pesky Car Thief
Can you imagine driving into a Cashcard operated carpark with NO cashcard??
I normally keep the cashcard in a convenienty yet not obvious place in the car for such uses, lately, the cashcard seems to have a mind of its own, its no longer found where it used to be.
The first time when the cashcard went missing, we thought that it was my bro's doing, cos he's pretty reknown for being forgetful and often displace items around the house. (Although he totally denied it, we still secretly believed that it was him hee...)
When it happened the first time, I was with my mum, we intended to go to the supermarket to do some marketing, faced with non-entry into the car park, we had to reverse awkwardly out of the carpark and headed to another wet-market. Here we were met with another set of trouble, we parked in a open car-park lot right behind the a confectionary shop which we wanted to patronised (I call them GLAM spots, aka glamorous)
We all we had to do was to take a shortcut via the shops to reach the front of the shop.... the moment i stepped foot on to the pavement, I slipped! I was wearing the most trusty trekking boots, Timbys and I slipped! Before I could warn my mother of the slippery floor, I witness her slipping/tumbling/sliding down onto the floor after whacking her shin, elbows and arms on the curb and the car.
*horror*
Its absolutely horrifying to watch a 70yr old lady fall in front of you. I tried my best to run across the slippery CONFECTIONARY floor to get to her.
She was shocked beyond words. She almost wailed out some loud cries, this is when the experience nanny-me come into play... I told her it was nothing, check if she had knocked her head (thankfully NO), check if there was any bleeding (Thankfully NO), check if she can move all her limbs (Thankfully Yes), with that, I got her to settle down and got up on her feet.
This time she was clinging onto me while trying to cross the slippery CONFECTIONARY floor while the owner of the shop next to the confectionary shop told us that countless passerbys have slipped and fell at the same spot.
I definitely did something about it.... read the next story... heh... planning to go to the police post for it as well. *wink*
So the actions of an "innocent" thief of the cashcard can lead the loss of life of an innocent person or maybe even serious injuries.
If there is anyone out there who is reading this and know that of someone who STEALs cashcards. STOP doing IT! YOUR ACTIONS CAN CAUSE A LIFE!
Fortunately, when my SECOND cashcard vanish into the thin air, no one was injured nor hurt, just very very surprised that someone would snoop so low as to prey on their neighbours and fellow Singaporeans. SICKOS!
So from now on, I'll be like those parking attendents, I'll be armed with a bag of coupons and cashcard whenever I want to use the car and will definitely remove them when I leave the car. Pesky Car Theives!

that is so odd! is the cashcard not inside the car? do these cashcard theives break into the car to steal the cashcard? if that's the case, can't you report it to the police? you could stick in a cashcard with very little value on it, note down its card number, then report it when it gets stolen...... maybe they'll be able to track it down?
u r amazingly clever....
i forgot to mention that i did make a police report and it took me 1 hour to get it done.
there was no one in the queue, in fact the police center is made up of police officers and US.
It was late night around 10pm, nice and quiet, police officers would love to finish their work fast and enjoy the peace and quiet right? well... NO
first they spent 10mins asking us about what happened, he quietly took down notes on a piece of white paper and asked for my NRIC to verify if I'm a real person.
then he spent the next 50mins typing into the computer. he had to file two reports.... one short and one long.
the police officer took real pains to write the report and was totally concentrating on this reports (this is the time where me and my hubby wondered when will it ever end, we can hear the clock ticking in the centre, we can FEEl the chill of the cold air, we roamed around the center collecting and reading all readable materials - which was quite a lot esp. on traffice offences).... and still the officer was still writing and writing.....
here, i secretly thought that he was open up some system and instantenously find some relevant suspects!
So the long report contains the exact same words and facts as the short one.
two reports, less than 300words, took 50mins to complete...
next time if anyone wants to join the police force, besides having a good physique, pls.... do compose FASTER!!!
it should be listed as one of the MAIN criterias for joining the police force, since every report has to be filed into the system and has to be written explicitly right?
