Low crime does not mean no crime

Jos was just recounting a recent incident when she and her friend were walking along Orchard Rd outside the Istana at 3am. A guy ran up behind them and grabbed her friend's handbag. He ran off and Jos chased after him but could not catch up with him. The robber got caught because the area that they were robbed was under video surveillance.
In hindsight, Jos admitted that she was foolish to chase after the criminal because he could have harmed her. I agreed but it was probably a natural reaction. My advice? Mentally remind yourself to let the criminal have your belongings. You can always work hard and earn back what you lost. If you get hurt, there is no reversing that and it is something that you will regret for the rest of your life.
