Yup people think little old NZ is crime free, but no longer the case, I suppose in comparison to larger countries it is, but it is no longer a place where you can leave things unlocked for sure.

It kinda happened really quick so she did not get a good description of the jerk, so i guess he will not get caught, but let us hope he is not going to try it again in a hurry, but i have my doubts about that.

Thanks for the well wishes and she is taking some pain killers, antiflamms for her ankle and it is a bit better today,but yes it does give you a shock, so unexpected.

I remember once she was in a cafe having lunch and this guy snatched her bag, but two members of the public chased him and caught the jerk and she got her bag back, it was good to see that happen in this day and age, she made sure they both received a gift for their trouble as she was so pleased to get her bag back.
