地铁里有小偷!!!

Pickpockets are also very active in grocery stores and restaurants in Chinatown.
My friends have seen a few cases.
I personally saw a victim in distress after her purse was stolen while dining in the buffet restaurant, Jade garden.

Not only pickpockets,
as far as I know,
there have been a few cases of robberies
in the middle of the day in Chinatown.

One hot spot I know of
is behind The Chinese hospital, near the Chiu Chow association, on La Gauchetire st.E.
There is usually not much pedestrian traffic.

My friend was robbed of her shoulder bag by brute force from behind at about 11am on one Sunday morning a few months ago.

The robber and his accomplice waited in a car
for a while in that area looking for people to rob. My friend didn't see anyone on the street
until the robber emerged from a car behind her.
After taking my friend's bag, he ran into a waiting car and sped away.

Apparently the same people had done it before
in the exact same area a few times
before my friend's case,
then still robbed some more people since then.
So far the victims have been women.

If you walk in that area,
it is a good idea not to walk alone,
even in broadday light.
