First mistake was handing over coins, second mistake was not paying attention to his immediate surroundings.

So he was willing to challenge, but not for a challenge.

More to this than meets the eye.

It wasn’t his mistake! He was the victim of a crime!

Just goes to show – don’t try and give charity to scum like her.

dictionary.com defines mistake as ‘an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge, etc.’

I can therefore confidently re-assert that this unfortunate gentleman did indeed make a mistake.

At no time did I say he was at fault.

Your use of exclamation marks does not make you correct in any circumstance.

Yes, he was a victim of crime. Yes, he was unfortunate. No, he did not bring it upon himself, he was clearly targetted by the obviously pleasant young ladies the police now seek. But, if you are going to critique one’s statements do your homework first. You just show yourself up to be tardy.

Oh, and in your haste to spout venem at my comment you failed to notice that you infer the poor man’s actions to be a mistake in your second sentence.

I’d have a battle of wits with you any day Matt however, I fear you may be unarmed.

There are two crimes in this story. The second one is that carpet. It’s guilty.

But what was in the bag?

I was at McDonalds at Wagga Wagga waiting for my order. A woman looking exactly like that, same clothes and all, walked right up to the counter took my food that had just been placed on the counter and walked right out again. The staff saw but couldn’t do anything and gave me a replacement. I guess paying for stuff is optional.

Maybe she’d been hired by your taste buds?

Actually she was hired by your mum.

Oh no you dinnit. 🙂

Has anvbody pointed out to the cops that the photo they’ve released of the villain is of the *back* of her head, not the front? Surely there must be a better pic available from the clubs security cameras.

I am a member of the Belconnen Labor Club. Two weeks ago i went in with some friends from interstate and was shocked to discover that instead of just signing people in, they now want to scan photo id, and specifically – drivers licenses. I was very uncomfortable at this incredible breach of privacy and suggested we go somewhere else. I doubt I would ever take a guest in there again.

As there is such a policy in place, i’m sure that if the alleged criminal entered the Belconnen Labor Club, and is not a member, then her scanned photo id will be on file.

Sorry but this form of confirming I.D. is common place now and given its widespread usage I would be of the belief that privacy concerns have been met.

So wait- fellow bus passengers saw that the offender had picked up his bag and didn’t challenge her???

I guess they were frightened, probably didn’t want to get stabbed, or they didn’t want to be labelled as racists.

+1 .. it’s possible that the other commuters were elderly, young or otherwise insecure about challenging anyone. Most people would think twice because getting stabby seems to be a common response to being challenged unfortunatly. No one is to blame in this situation other than the perpetrator who will hopefully be caught soon.
