Not a bad thing to be.

I was just so ticked off and it was a safe response.
I wanted to draw attention.

I can't believe I ran after them.

I started yelling "pickpocket, thief, thief..." They ran out of the car and I followed them, yelling all the way.
The woman dropped my camera (I didn't even feel her take it); I quickly picked it up and took her photo and I jumped into the car with her and a guy.
I continued to yell "thief, pickpocket."
At the next stop, a policeman got on; I went to the station and filed a report.

Never underestimate the power of an old, white-haired woman.
We can be very fiesty.

Best pickpocket story ever.

Thats a good thing though, I hate that people think they can get away with that stuff. Maybe it scared them from doing it again.
