Today while on my way back from the hospital[1], we(a lot of people were there) saw a strange sight.
A thin 20-ish man basically jogging and an old man 50-ish jogging behind me. Strange sight in the afternoon in the hospital, it was too. And the man was trying to shout but it didn't come out as loud and he said, "Is there someone? Someone" along the lines of this and it was a strange sight. It took quite a while for anyone to see this strange sight to understand what the hell was going on. After like 30 seconds, my mother said, that's a phone-snatcher thief, and I guess that's when it hit everyone.
They were both jogging so slowly that we never ever thought that this is a thief chase. Mind you, this is inside the Hospital which is also residence of many students and working professional and this area is filled with police who probably were walking around having no idea what was going on.
After we realize what was going on, I put my bike in the first gear and was able to reach an intersection where there were like 3-4 people quite puzzled what is going on. If only the old man would be shouting, "Thief," just that word, I assure you he would had been caught by students preparing for the physical test for various army and police examinations right away.
Since we reached the intersection, mother just told that that man is a mobile thief and realizing this, the puzzled young kid on his bike revved his bike and the other person just walked and caught him. It was the strangest sight ever and we were all laughing all the way.
One possible reason my mother said is SMAC drug rampant in our area for ruining lives. Well the thief could have been on drug but the person catching him wasn't.
