Photographer Has Camera Lens Stolen From Around His Neck

The video of the camera lens thieves in action was taken in Saint-Petersburg (Russia). The thieves would target passers-by while the police are unable to stop them.

The thieves work together. One of them will shove something in front of the camera's owner, hiding the camera and lens from his sight. Then, another team-mate will take the chance to remove and steal the lens.

Do take note that similar plot can be happening in other countries as well, and they may not necessary target only camera lenses.

Do not show off your valuable. When travelling, always try to go in pair.

The Most Disgusting Theft Method

Two Chilean nationals, Octavio Guillermo Silva Arancibia, 63, and Marisol Del Carmen Godoy Vivanco, 51, were caught for stealing $27,000 from three victims in Singapore. They were each jailed two years on three charges of theft.

Their plot was to throw faeces on their victims to distract them before pretending to approach and help the troubled victims. The two thieves would then make use of the chance to steal money from the victims who had just gotten money from the banks.

We would like to remind everyone that regardless of the amount you have withdrawn from the bank or ATM machine, do take extra precaution of the money. When anything weird happens, do think about the money you are holding first.
