The video shows two men, partner in crime, lurking near a parked car where one of them was inside the car and another just standing outside. The woman did not suspect anything while walking pass the car and the men. While she approached her car, the men suddenly grabs her from behind, pulled her handbag and just went into the car, both leaving the crime scene. However, the woman who are in shock fell down and hit her head. It was even more sad when you could see people ignoring, did nothing, or perhaps not aware of their surrounding through this video clip. A motorcyclist who witnessed the crime does nothing but stopping his motorcycle beside and just looked at the woman. Sigh… how can people be so cold-blooded these days, to learn more about safe motorcycle driving, motorcycle licence Melbourne.
