I've never known of anyone (directly or indirectly) that it's happened to. Think about how hard it would actually be to slice open and remove something. I was once mugged in the US. Two young men ran past me on opposite sides. The one on the left grabbed my purse. The one on the right sliced the pocket off my coat. He was so fast that I didn't notice until hours later that the pocket was missing. There was nothing in the pocket, but if there had been, he would have got it. He actually did it with a knife? I really don't know, as I was totally unaware of what he was doing. I supposed that he had used a razor blade. However, it was cleanly sliced away, leaving only thread ends hanging, and the cloth underneath the pocket was not damaged at all. In that case he may have just ripped it off, or maybe it got caught on something. It would take some serious skill to do that with a blade. I don't think so. The pocket was well sewed on, and if it had been ripped, I think it would have been evident (pulled, puckered, whatever). It was cleanly separated from the coat. Also, I'm sure they were after the pocket. That's why one ran to my right while the other grabbed the purse, which was slung over my left shoulder. The whole operation was done while they were running a a good clip. Of course I'm only guessing based on your description, but I don't think they would try something as tricky as that. It was your bag that they were after. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- Barbara Vaughan My email address is my first initial followed by my surname at libero dot it I answer travel questions only in the newsgroup |
