Extreme Drama

All those that think I have a bad memory and observation skills, the incident as mentioned below will prove you wrong. (I did exaggerate a bit la.. It's a once in a lifetime experience after all. And the account is very much summarised.)

I witnessed some Malay guy trying to steal Kaisi's wallet in TKPS while i was umpiring. (Don't ask me why my eyes weren't on the court. The game was just too boring.) So there he was wandering suspisciously around our bags, And he didn't look like he was very interested in the games...Then I saw his hand digging in Kaisi's bag. blah blah blah... ok. Let's skip to the drama. So I ended chasing the man in his bicycle in the middle of the road while dodging cars and sch kids. I got so close that I was within reach to jump into the wagon attached on his bike. The idea crossed my mind but I thought the better of it. I was afraid the man will turn violent or bring me somewhere. We exchanged confrontations and he accelerated further. I tried boarding a cab to continue the chase. And... well.. I lost him. The cab driver was driving like a snail. And that's an understatement. I could have crawled faster than his taxi. And he dared to charge me $4 for the cab fare. (Though I only paid $3 & watch his face turn nasty.) Gee.. Anyway, the thief had to come back to school cos the sch has his address and home number (Yep. He's a parent of one of the students in there). We got him into the General Office and he tried to deny everything so we got the police involved. During the questioning, he bit the police when one of them tried to take him to the station to record his statement. I was in the next room and I could hear the commotion. Luckily I wasn't within his sight, else I'm sure he'll do something nasty to me. When he turned violent, just being in the place gives me the shivers. More drama to this tale when we were leaving the school... I saw his kid waiting outside the office for his dad and watch him being escorted to the patrol car to be detained. Feel sad for the boy.

On a brighter note, I got to skip the Opens training in the evening cos I had to record my statement as a witness. (That's where the memory and observation skills come into play.) Hee hee. But hey, afterall I had my little interval training while chasing the man and boy can I still feel that adrenaline rush. It's one hell of a lifetime experience. Way cool~ =)

(I don't know what happen to the man and his son after that. But Kaisi's wallet was found by the garbage collector on duty today. Nice people still exists afterall.)
