I was walking home after a Spanish class at about 4.30pm. I had my shoulder bag strap across my body, so I felt it was pretty safe - as I had my computer inside. I had walked down this street many ti mes before and never had any problems. As I was waling a felt a strong pull on my bag, I tryed to grab it as I turned to see what was happening, but in a second it was gone. And, a man was running down the street with it - my bag.
