WE shouldnt laugh but its funny.....
A study was conducted recently to determine the average crime rate at
international airports around the world.
The study made use of an ordinary looking man standing in the airport
terminal and reading a newspaper. He had an empty briefcase next to him,
which he would ignore. Observers then recorded how long it took for the
briefcase to be snatched.
In Amsterdam the case was stolen within 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
In Washington DC it was stolen within 3 minutes and 16 seconds.
At Heathrow, London the briefcase was snatched in less than 2
minutes.
In New York , the case was stolen within 1 minute and 5 seconds.
In Los Angeles it took only 43 seconds before the case was snatched.
In Nairobi the people conducting the study were robbed on the way to
the airport at Imara Daima and the briefcase was stolen along with
their car! The man meant to pose reading a newspaper was shot dead at
point blank range. Two people walking on the side walk were injured. The
briefcase was again stolen from the thugs at the police block and the
car re stolen. The first thiefs were shot dead and the new thugs crashed
the car near the entrance to the airport whereupon the good samaritans
stole the briefcase and the thug's mobiles, clothes e.t.c.
