The woman, residing near Lord Vekataramana temple at car street, was returning home after attending car festival at Dongerkery on the night of Wednesday April 13 along with her neighbours, when an unidentified person who came from behind suddenly approached her near Saraswati Hall, yanked a golden Karimani weighing 28 grams, coral chain weighing 42 grams and another gold chain weighing 56 grams, before fleeing in the company of another person.

    It is a true thing.... In 1950-60 people were not having gold ornaments.. Even our neighbors used to take my mothers ornaments for the marriage functions. Now it is show business i.e. I got this much, my Husband brought this gold set from middle east or so on....I visited so many European and American countries, but these ladies wear only either artificial gold or no ornaments.

    When rich people wear immitations it look gracious and original. Ib case of others make out immediately..thru neighbours only. That's why everytime wants to stick to originals only. Nearby knows very well..what gold possession are with them. Cannot fool.

    This happened once upon a time in Mumbai it seems.
    One day , a chain snatcher , snatches a necklace from a woman ,travelling regularly in a local train and flees.She and her colleagues have a good laugh over the incident. They were all smart. They used to wear artificial gold ornaments only.
    Next day same time, same train the chain snatcher appears, slaps the woman with artificial ornament tightly and flees.
    This is some revenge story.
    Is it not?
    This was decades back. Here women still show off at night ceremonies and all that. A sure recipe for disaster. What say you?

    Metropoltian women's are smart to wear Roll-Gold ornaments. In villages people prefer to have actual. Even normal grams are also worth lakhs.

    Probably the work of those 200 came from Rajastan, of criminal background.

    Be watchful and if possible, wear fake ornaments and flaunt them royally !

    Are you sure..chain snatchers are from rajasthan. It means let police investigate them first. In more of cases chain snatching done by local people itself as well from Iranian Gang.

    Our ladies want more gold to wear... some people want more children.... some people want more wife.... These are all our customs???? Good for Robers. If Government says don't wear more gold or have only limited children or have only one wife, people got objection... they will bring religion, tradition etc. Now whoever objecting are suffering??

    There was some gap for this chain snatching. No such cases were reported. But now this has cropped again. Our Police Commissioner has to take stern action against these chain snatchers and put full stop for such activities.
