    Seems like I am in minority here: By being a talker/shouter instead of punching and kickboxing....But I am not a "chicken" since I do act by shouting!!!

    I'd run towards him and snatch his bag.

    uh...wait! No! That doesn't sound right...erm.....

    I meant to say, I'd knock his arse out, take his wallet, and run away giggling.







    On a completely unrelated note, you'll never guess what I found in Umeda today; a basket of WINE! (Unopened.) No joke. Just sitting there on the street corner of a busy intersection, and no one was touching it!
    Wtf? I was going to take it to koban, but decided to leave it there in the event of thirsty bum. Happy days.

    Oh! You have a good heart M.Pierrot!!! It reminds me that when I with friends were going out and we had 6-pack with us walking down Grand Central Station here in Copenhagen, we saw this homeless begging for money to buy beer (he had a sign saying: want money to buy beer) - and my former coursemate was struck by the honesty of the sign that he took a can of beer and handed it to him.... The homeless person was very glad!!!

    This is so typical of you, Mad Pierrot, however...
    I was thinking of robbing him not only of his bad, but what else he's got before the snatching, say his wallet of the Japanese male-purse.
    After stripping him of all his clothes except the bare essential last, and tying him up with clothes-stringing in the manner of SM, I'd make him give up all his personal belongings, take a hundred mug shots of semi-nudity for posting all over the WWW, I would go through all his personal belongings, register them in a police report list as evidence, and request a national lost-and-found survey to see if any of those were stolen also. And then I would proceed to psychologically torture him for a confession of all dishonest behaviour, whether he has ever spat out profanity or participated in any right-wing political rally on one of those black buses, raise a wooden cross, and hang him high for public ridicule for 3 days and 3 nights non-stop, and take him down only on condition that he will willingly do public service such as cleaning the public bathrooms or catch 10 other snatchers before he can go free... naw, that too easy. First I will brand him on the forhead and buttocks with the words in kanji, "stupid bag snatcher of womens' hand bags." He would have to report to the forum penitentiary weekly to show evidence that he has been a good boy for the rest of his life, or else, "whack !!*

    I shall remind him that Mad Pierrot also has murderous thoughts about thieves who doesn't live too far away from him. Of course he can take to the sea and drown himself to escape Justice, but the sharks will get him eventually. Hahahahaha...

    You did good to leave it there; there might have been deadly poison in it; there have been random poisoning of drinks left in public, haven't there ?

    I think people didn't touch it because of the recent cases of poison-laced stuff lying on the ground or on benches, making homeless people, dogs and cats ill or killing them...
    At least, I wouldn't...

    As for the purse-snatching attempts I wrote about on another thread, I was attacked in lonely streets. Those punks make sure they find obasans walking or riding their mama-charis with no one around.

    Well, I am only a little girly person, so I wouldn't be bodily tackling any burly thieves anytime soon. I would just shout "Help! Police! Stop, thief!" like a damsel in distress.
