Hi Cynthia, The coin dropping trick...so sorry it happened to you. I was a victim of that once and lost my wallet. Nowadays unless the conductor drops one I don't pick coins for anybody! Also us Nairobians are chicken-hearted. We avoid situations where we can get hurt, even if someone needs our help. Hangovers from the Moi Error... Regards, -- Mutinda Kitana P.O.

Hello All Just thought i would highlight my plight.I had heard of this but i never thought it could happen to me. A few days ago i boarded a bus heading back to town from Mombasa road. I had my bag with my laptop inside. Everything was fine until the moment i received a phone call from my boss and we began talking.The conversation continued for quite some time. Little did i know that some two four guys(i assume they were four in total) i was seated at the window and two guys came and sat next to me. i didnt think much of it at the time.

As we reached GPO one of them behind me dropped some coins and asked me to pick it up for him.I think that was when they opened the bag and got it.not really sure.On a serious note,i dont know how these guys were that good.. By the time i screamed..they had confronted me and i was down. What really pissed me off is Nairobians can see a lady on a bus being mugged and do nothing about it.They just watch.

These thieves are very dangerous and they can get physical. Please be aware

Regards Cynthia.
