I was sitting in the KFC near Metro Sol station for my afternoon tea this afternoon. A man and a woman came to sit next to me, and the woman placed her coat very close to my handbag when she sat down. I sensed that there was 'something' with them but continued my Street Box with chicken and chips anyway. When I was nearly finish, I saw the woman run downstairs quickly and right that moment I took a peek at my handbag and found that was gone. I realized that it must the woman who has taken that so I chased her downstairs and right at the middle of staircases she dropped my handbag and the same time the security guy at the doorway stopped her. She has no where to go then.
Although all the staff seemed reluctant to do anything, I insisted that they should call the police. The woman tried to escape but the security guy kept her in there while we were all waiting for the police to come. The 'Policia' arrived about 5 minutes later. I described them the incident and I told the police that I cannot let her go although I have nothing lost. For the rest of tourists in Madrid, for now and in the future, she has to be caught and punished under the law.
The Policia then took me to the station and they filed the case. I was told she would be detained in the station tonight and will be trial tomorrow.
I planned to write something nice about Madrid today before I leave for Barcelona, but all I have now is the above incident. Life ......is....so full of incidents and accidents......
