attempted to be snatched.
We were walking along behind a group of about five girls who were all giggling and messing about. One of them stepped out just as a scooter came along. The strap of her bag got caught on the handle bar as the driver swerved to avoid her. She accused him of trying to steal her bag.
We told them all what had really happened and that they all needed to watch where they were walking. The girls did not appreciate us telling the truth and stormed off.
The Scooter driver was very shaken but he was ok.
Yet another reason to keep your bag away from the road side.
