Snatch Thieves
Snatch theft is a criminal act of forcefully stealing from a pedestrian's person while employing rob-and-run tactics.

3. Walk in busy, well-lit areas.
* You may think that you're exposing yourself to more handbag snatchers, but they are more likely to strike in dark, isolated areas because they don't want to get caught. Walk briskly and confidently. Bring a friend.

I give a wide berth to nervous people on subway platforms during the wee hours, particularly when I have exchange business clothes for jeans. If I happen to be entering a building behind some people who appear skittish, I may walk by, letting them clear the lobby before I return, so as not to seem to be following them. I have been calm and extremely congenial on those rare occasions when I’ve been pulled over by the police.” He has decided and accepted that he must take these extra precautions, because it enables him to continue surviving in public.
Nowadays streets are scary to walk alone at night. Crime rates have increased currently and people are nervous to leave their own homes at night. Sadly, unlike cartoons, there is no hero that is going to swoop in and save the day. Imagine you were sitting in your parked car next to dark streets, lit up only by a dim lamp-pole. You see a man walking slowly with his head down and he starts walking towards your car. He taps on the window. In this moment, wouldn’t you want to be able to protect yourself? You don’t know what this man is capable of or what his intent is. When you roll down your window to ask what he wants, he pulls out a gun. If you were weaponless, there would be a high possibility that you would not survive. Imagine this instead. As he pulls out his gun
“Even death has a heart.” (The Book Thief, pg 242) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is a book of death, love, and survival. There is the death of a friend, love of a parent, and survival of those who can take it. World War II was a devastating period and many did not have the mental strength to survive it. The Book Thief is about Liesel Meminger and all her accounts with death and how she coped with it, how she survives it all through words. The book is narrated by Death, and throughout the book, he adds in his own input at times. The Book Thief makes you realize the power that words can have, you just have to pay attention to them.

Who know how long someone may look for and item that got lost like keys, cell phone, wallet, or purse. It seems that at the moment when the object is needed it tends to hide away like if it were to grow legs and find a hiding spot as if the person and object are playing hide ans seek. During and emergency cell phones will get lost and the struggle to finding them is a big pain. It may be that humans are not aware where they put the objects or just flat out block out the transition when picking up an item then leaving it somewhere else with no memory of it.

There are few other items I bring everywhere with me. When I go to school, I always have my backpack, filled with all of my school supplies and books, my water bottle, and sometimes a snack. All together, my bag probably weighs over thirty pounds. I’m used to the weight, so it doesn’t bother me unless I add or take out anything. When I go out somewhere, I bring my purse, which carries my wallet, phone, and a few other trinkets. It,
I do not really consider myself a thief. In fact if asked, I would probably proudly say with a sense of self righteousness that I have never stolen anything in my life. Thieves are criminals, and I am definitely not a criminal. Except for actually I kind of have stolen something, so really I am a thief. So that makes me both a criminal and a liar.
