I need my bags....!!!

When is a gal going to be able to feel safe to just carry her bag and walk down the street in a leisurely manner???

Snatch thefts have become such a common occurance, that you'll see it highlighted in the newspapers every other day... The media isn't the only source; stories of person/s witnessing a snatch theft or of someone who knew someone who just fell victim to a snatch theft; filter into our everyday life...

Just last night, my aunty had told of how her son's pouch was snatched... Naturally comments were given here and there on how my cousin could have/should have done to prevent such an incident from happening...

Conclusion: The single most effective way is to NOT carry a bag, (as agreed by the elders of the family).

Obviously I was not spared as well, I was advised to not carry a bag when i go out...

How is it possible to not carry a bag?? Where do i put my wallet, my keys, my handphone?? And i consider myself as a simple, fuss free girl already... how bout those ladies out there that never leave home without their lipstick, lip liner, mascara etc etc with them??

A bag is an absolute necessity for a girl... You can't expect us to stuff our wallets down our pockets like men do, its too ungainly... Besides, not all our pants or skirts have got pockets... The bag is also a fashion accessory, like our shoes, we women love our bags... No way are we gonna relelgate our bags to the shelves when we know we look better when we have a matching bag to an outfit...

All I can say is, you can never take the bag away from a woman, try as you may, but The Bag is in our blood..... Thats why snatch thefts continue to rampage.... : p
