Do you believe in KARMA? I do. I believe that whatever bad things we do, it would definitely befall back to ourselves or our family.
Last saturday, I met up with weili and ym for shopping at town area. We started off from Far East Shopping Centre from 4pm to Plaza Singapura at 8plus pm. Please allow me to come straight to the point where my topic KARMA began.
We reached PS at about 745pm and headed straight to MDS shop as I needed to collect a piece of dress which I ordered online. After the collection, weili and me stayed in the shop for some browsing and trying while ym wondered off to some other shops (usual practice as ym shops super fast). After some trying, weili decided to purchase an office dress and headed to the cashier for payment. At this point of time, ym called her to locate us. After hanging up the phone call, weili gently threw her iPhone 4 somewhere into her bag and left it unzipped. During this few critical minutes, a passerby stole her iPhone 4 from her unzipped bag and walked off like nobody's business. WTH!!! I can't believe this kind of things is happening among us. Hell with the shoplifter or I use customerlifter instead(stole customer stuff instead of the shop's items).
The details: Weili was paying at 8pm and found her iPhone 4 missing at 810pm. We tried to call her phone but it was cut off after the second call which lead us to believe that it was an intentional theft. We were lost for the first few ten to twenty minutes as to what to do next. But shortly, we realized that there's CCTV in the MDS shop and quickly got hold of the main office number to view the CCTV on Monday (closed on weekends). Weili suspended her line shortly and the three of us tried very hard to think of ways to recover the phone (through some iPhone App etc) but to no avail.
Devastated was the word to describe weili's feelings at that moment. As for ym and me, we could do nothing but just comfort her. Both us of felt guilty in a way. If I didn't bring weili to the shop, none of this would have happened. If ym didn't call her at that time, the shoplifter wouldn't saw her iPhone 4 and had a chance to steal it.
I was even stupid enough to have thought of sending the shoplifter a message to warn her about the CCTV thing.
I wrote: Pls return the phone. If not, we will make police report w the cctv from mds shop. Thanks! Call "my hp number". (Preview of the message could be seen for iPhone).
I even sent it to ym's iPhone first to gauge the length of preview before sending out. We just thought that when the shoplifter switched on the phone, there might be a chance that she would see it so that we could settle it outside instead of making the issue big. Why would I say that it's a stupid act? That's because weili just suspended her line some minutes ago -_-. The shoplifter would never see that message, ever.
Then, the most important thing to do next was to make a police report. YES! The three of us went to the nearest police station, Killiney Road Branch to make a police report. How brave were three girls walking into the police station and make a police report on a crime which happened to them a few hours ago? Please don't be deceived by our appearance. We are not people whom you could trifled with. We would not be like some others whom they would just blame it on their luck and grumble for a few days to end the matter. Instead, we will persue the matter till the criminal is brought to justice. Theft must not be tolerate! This was what we thought therefore without any hesitation, we walked into the police station.
It took about an hour plus for the whole reporting process (including awaiting queue time) and we left the the police station around 11pm. May KARMA befall on the shoplifter as she would soon fall into her own trap and get punished for all her wrong doings. KARMA!!
Brief Description of the shoplifter (based on weili and my memory):
Height: approx. 1.55m
Body Size: Plump
Skin Color: Malay Skin Tone
Hair Length: Shoulder length or shorter
Color of the top she's wearing that day: Green
Alone in crime: No! She's walking with a guy when she left the shop
PLS HELP TO LOOK OUT FOR THE CRIMINAL IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE AROUND PS AREA. TAKE NOTE OF YOUR OWN BELONGINGS AS YOU MIGHT BE THE NEXT TARGET.

omg! why got such people in this world har??!! so u all view the CCTV, the police got help to search for the girl?
The investigator would look into the matter e.g. view cctv and get hold of the criminal features; patrol the area more often to see if she appears again (quoted by police, criminal most probably will visit the same area again). Have to ask weili if there's more updates. Thanks for the concern :)
