Wednesday, June 28 Hey hey hey, yes I am still alive, hurrah! Anyhow, just one of the biggest things that have happened to me here. I encountered a snatch thief, in Cleveland. I was vigilant enough to notice this big black guy following us suddenly, so I held on to my bag tightly, and slowed down, waiting for him to pass us. But the next time I turned around, he was lumbering towards me and snatched my bag from behind, of course I still held on tight, and then he broke my strap and the bag fell to the floor. I grabbed his shirt while he reached for my bag, and he punched me in the shoulder. So my female friend and I chased him for 4 blocks, and managed to get him to leave other things ... he took all my cash and my friend's cell. It's a good thing we weren't hurt. I think even if he had a knife or something I would have still given chase. Can you imagine what my parents would say if I had lost everything? Bah. That was what was running through my head "sure get scolding!" A good thing we weren't hurt. More updates soon people. :) |
