Caught in the act?

If your first thought was “Hmmm, look at that nice man helping the lady close her bag”, you’re wrong! This pic was sent in by a frustrated Pssst! reader who said she almost became a victim of cellphone theft while enjoying the Cosa Nostra New Year’s Eve CD launch.

Check out the sly character in action while she smiles for the camera, unaware of the search going on in her jacket pocket. Fortunately he did not find what he was looking for. The lady thought she would inform other Pssst! readers so they can be on the lookout for the skelm when they go to shows.

Ladies, you might find this suggestion a bit yucky but to try and keep your valuables from being snatched by scaly fingers, you might have to resort to the old fashioned hiding spot – the bra! And if you spot this one, pull your handbag closer or just move away from him.

Pssst! is near deaf from hearing people crying after shows because of missing cellphones since they were too busy jiving Kwaito and screaming for their idol to notice they were being robbed! If you’re still unlucky, get thee to the nearest security guard and pray that your cellphone is smart enough to at least give you a missed call to inform you that it’s missing in action LOL!
