Be Aware of Thieves Holding News Papers

It is rare and shocking to see people steal valuables or money from you without your knowledge. But it happened to me, today when I was trying to board a bus a young person tried to steal my mobile phone from my upper shirt pocket. It was odd compared to the routine ways of theft. You will be shocked to know that it was done by a  very young person, of age nearly 10. He looked disheveled, wore a worn out jeans and checks T-shirt, holding an unwrapped news paper in his hand and pretending to wait for a bus as everyone at the stop did. When the bus came he was trying to get in the bus along with me and the crowd. He used the news paper as a device to steal the mobile phone. He hold the news paper in the left hand and masked it over my upper (shirt) pocket. So that I cannot see my pocket, he then put his right hand in my pocket and tried to steal the mobile. But i realized it soon and moved up the foot board. In the chaos my mobile fell down. I got down the bus and picked it up and when i tried to catch him he vanished from my sight. I was lucky today but other may not be. I wish to inform everyone to be aware of this and be careful while boarding the bus and always keep an eye on your pockets and people beside you.
