What Actually Happens

..when a snatch thief comes running towards you.
The natural progression of things, we were told, is that you pluck up all your courage and bring the villian to the ground, subdue him and hand him over to Constable Acai.
Reality was a very different story. Me, Fenglei and my sis just stared in bewilderment as the bugger ran right past us. There were six guys chasing him, two of whom were on roller blades.

Actually we were only assuming that the dude was a snatch thief, cos he was holding a bag and the people chasing him didn't look too friendly. One of them shouted "it's that one!" in mandarin. Plus they even risked getting run over as they crossed the road.

Anyway, I suppose the poor fella got caught in the end, no thanks to us. Must've been pretty suay/stupid to commit a crime in 1. broad daylight 2. bedok central 3. the company of some super fast sprinters and rollerbladers.
