Inside market

This incident happened exactly at Masaka marketlink, that's Friday on 06/09/2024, My auntie actually went to the market to get some foodstuffs, when she entered the market, there so much crowd as usual and she was using a hand back, she hung it on the right shoulder and she's carrying a baby also, unknowingly to her sharp guys are roaming about in the market looking for who to steal anything that comes their way.

Under bridge Area 1 Masaka

So when she was moving from one shop to another in other to get what she wants to buy, there are some guys who are just going after her pretending they want to buy something as well and she did not notice, then another fellow lady like her told her to be careful with the bag she's holding oooo else, her phone or anything in that bag would be missed, she thought it was just a joke, though she became more cautious but is too late for her.

When she arrived home, she brings out everything she purchased from the market but could not locate her smartphone, she scattered everything, but for where?🤷☺️ agbero have made away with her phone, she tried the line thinking maybe the phone fell down at somewhere colsedby but for where? Is gone.

This is the woman before the incident.

Another similar incident also occurred that same, Friday market, where an innocent woman, she just started monthly contributions of a thing, so the woman decided to collect the contribution first, they are about 20 in numbers the total amount she collected was five hundred thousands, so she decided to go and buy some goods and store when the price rises she would sell and also use the rest of the money for her other up keep.

On reaching the market to purchase the goods, gosh!!! The money is nowhere to be found this woman burst into cry, she started rolling on the floor to be honest out of pity I could not video or capture her because it was very painful especially on this very hardship that we are facing in this country, now she would have to put the contributions (on top money she never chop) because money was given to her and to worse the situation she's the first to packed that's why she was on pain I wished I could help that day. But God knows why.

With this kind of rain and weather they beg her to stand up on the floor the woman refused. They have to call the husband but yet all efforts prove abortive, but has happened, I left though don't know the rest. But it was so sad. (there's hunger though).

Therefore, let's always be careful, whenever we are moving in a crowding environment, especially in the market, (akwai yan dauko) if you suspect any movement that's not right alert your neighbor, your friend or anyone you are walking together, my auntie thought her things or phone is safe, unknown to her, despite the precautions, but is not enough, so let's be extra careful, in a crowding places not just market.

Thank you all for the through my blog 🙏.

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.

The two scenarios are the same. We should be careful about the way we hold and take care of our property.

It also happened here in my place yesterday which was the New Yam festival, my mummy's phone was stolen and on photographer left his bag with a power bank before he could come back for it, sharp guys had done away with it.

My thoughts are how would that lady cope with people's money?

Yeah, it's a sad experience from the woman's side, God would see her through though,
Thanks for your wonderful comments bro,
I appreciate a lot 🙏.
