Best Posts in Thread: Beware motorcycle bag grabbers

Many years ago wrist watches were the target. Guys would come back to the ship with bad scrapes on their arms because the snatcher would grab the watch as the victim rode by in a jeepney with his arm stuck out.

 

I always carry my bag cross slung over my shoulder and tend to not have easily breakable bags. If they make the snatch attempt they are going to be trying to take me along as well and hopefully give me enough time to swing out trying to knock the crap out of the grabber. My bet is the backseat rider will get yanked off and while my hand is around the throat of the attempted bag thief there partner would quickly abandon them.
