This is the moment a quick-thinking female Russian tourist took down a phone-snatcher in Argentina. Video posted by journalist Gonzalo Benitez shows the incident on November 9 when two thieves snuck up on the 33-year-old woman while she was on a bike waiting at a junction in the capital Buenos Aires. As they grab her device, she manages to wrestle one of them off the bike and hold him until Good Samaritans rush to her aid and help restrain him until the police arrive. Officers were also able to trace the offender who fled on the bike and discovered 10 cell phones at the property where he was arrested.
My wife got pickpocketed in Rome on the train. Possibly a woman who didn’t get on the train behind her. We traced the phone to an atm where it was shut off, but not there. They bought something for 1k at the train station and were probably trying the atm next. She had no phone and kept using mine since I put her account temporarily on my phone. To top it all off Verizon couldn’t activate an esim so I had to wait and go into a store to get a physical Sim where the person working didn’t know I can order a Sim for free online and pick it up. I usually get used phones and it was a pixel 7 pro.
Explain “They bought something for 1k at the train station” for me, please. The rest of your post makes little sense to me either, but I feel like you should elaborate on that sentence if you can.
Oh, my brain was thinking and typing it out didn’t happen. My wife’s bank card and driver’s license was in the back of the phone. We had to cancel the card. They couldn’t get into the phone, that’s why they went to the atm after or maybe a coincidence the last location report on the phone was at the atm. We were doing tourist stuff trying to figure out to pay for the train and they saw. They even warn you about pick pockets on the train in Rome.
Thank you, I didn’t want to come across as rude.
My tap to pay has a $100 limit, any more requires card and PIN. I think I can remove this limit, but I’d rather not.
