Grandma to the rescue
The Hindu
There was a pattern: kids would cry, ask passers-by for a mobile phone, and disappear. Was there any way to stop this?
Last week, my grandma’s mobile phone was stolen. She was at the vegetable market when a young boy approached her in tears saying he couldn’t find his mother. Grandma gave him her phone to make a call; but he took it and disappeared into the crowd before she could react. My father and I took grandma to the police station to lodge a complaint. “This seems to be the work of a new gang training children to steal mobile phones from women,” said the inspector. “There was another incident in the park too. The gang chooses places without CCTV cameras.”More Related News
