Mangaluru, May 12: A thief who approached a shop run by a woman sought drinking water from her and then disappeared with cash from the shop.

This incident happened at T C Road in Thokottu Olapete on Wednesday May 12 morning. The lady who lost money in this incident happens to be Anusooya, who runs a shop at T C Road.

A stranger on a motorbike had approached Anusooya's shop and sought to buy cigarettes. He was about to smoke the cigarette by standing there after buying it, but Anusooya stopped him from doing so. Thereafter, he asked for drinking water. By the time she brought water from the refrigerator, the man rushed into the shop in a flash and escaped in his motorbike towards Thokottu Junction with the stolen purse.


Ullal police station

It is said that the stolen purse contained Rs 35,000 in cash. As she expected to receive stock of different items at that time, Anusooya had kept the cash ready in a purse. A case of theft was registered at Ullal police station.

The shop owner is hopeful that the identity of the thief would have been recorded in the CCTV camera of a private nursing college located opposite to her shop.

    If the situation is so bad in Mumbai why cannot congress govt in Maharashtra listen to Rahul and congress leaders like Siddaramiah and implement their pet schemes of giving money and free food grains to people of Maharashtra.

    Condition in Mangalore is something different from Mumbai or any place in India kya?? Appears like a retired government pensioner or after a long and lucrative stint in the Gulf! What most are commenting on is the condition of the Middle class most of whom who are working with the informal sector! Only in DK & Udipi more than 6000 hotel employees are jobless; how will they survive, same with all other sectors too! When the government itself is neck deep in debt what sort of aid do you expect from them?

    I was thinking you were talking of Mumbai, have you been in mangalore recently and observed how people were holding lavish weddings and parties, despite of the Chinese virus. You think all the people have become rich over night, they have worked hard so they can have a comfortable life style, none of the mangalorean christian community, live on government aid or beg for food or money.

    Very true Jossie; the ground level situation is very pathetic; those working in informal sector, MSMEs, most businesses, restaurants are in very big financial crisis; most with loans are buying time to escape being hounded by recovery agents! Most middle class families have lost their precious gold ornaments as they're not able to release them due to severe paucity of funds; yesterday there was a full 2 page ad in leading dailies of auction of gold ornaments ranging from 1500₹ to 3L₹ from defaulting customers; I have never seen such a big default auction in my life from a single gold loan company? Fuel, edible oil, grocery prices are at all time highs! There's no place to hide for the common man; considering all this, there is bound to be a quantum jump in looting, burglary, and fraud/cheating cases!

    Thief might have carried out a dry test several times on this same shop before hence he knew the location of cash.

We don't invest some money for our security but hope someone else's dog will take care of our house. Pathetic Indian mentality!!

    O Ponkra, do you expect petty shop owners with their meager income to install CCTV cameras?

    Do you remember hearing about pick-pockets in Mumbai during the 1970s and 80s when there was no high inflation and unemployment?

    Because of such incidents, the word trust is disappearing from people's heart. Now a days, we have to cross check every unknown person so many times before giving them water or food or buying things etc etc
