Thieves are everywhere even on places where we think we are secure because of presence of security guards. This includes the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) system. It happened to me sometime in 2009 when I tried to push myself inside a packed train, along with other passengers some pushing me behind. As soon as managed to get in, I reached for my wallet supposedly tucked in the back purse of my pants but its gone.
I was so aware of the rampant incidents of picking pockets in Metro Manila that is why I was so careful with my things that I even usually transfers my wallet from behind to my front purse in order not to attract prying eyes of thieves. Yet, when on a single occasion of failing to protect my wallet, a thief spotted with ease the opportunity.
