A thief is stealing big sweep tickets and cash from a handicap. the handicap's niece has filed a police report one year ago and the thief has not been caught. He's still stealing from the handicap discreetly.
The problem is this: the thief is an old man.

You bring the man selling Big sweep home because he's handicapped. And you got to know the story from him la.
This Old man knows who stole his money?
Otherwise how you know the one who stole is a old man? -
To start with, there are 3 characters in the story.Originally posted by M©+square:Are you related to either of them?

it's very hard to close one eye and tell him to get on with life and ignore it coz 1 big sweep ticket sold earns him 30 cents.

Seriously, i dont understand the whole story
Am i to understand the police is incapable to catch the old man aka thief redhanded?
And what this got to do with a NS boy? -

So the question is whether u will report the thief to the police
or to find out more on why that thief steals
-
Reporting is useless at this point since the police have not done anything.

Are you facing a moral dilemma?
What are you affected? -

This handicap is outside Bukit Merah Central NTUC's exit on the upper level. -
Ok. So what's stopping you?Originally posted by fai:Yes im facing a moral dilemma, i need to solve this problem because only i can.
Because the thief is old? Is that the only reason?
The next best thing you can do is to catch the thief red handed and sternly warn him not to disturb the handicapped man again. -
There are many ways to solve a problem.
But for this case. The best is to hand that old man to police to handle since it was repeated offence.
And next few solution will be handled by you. Think about it.
No problem at all. -
Ok.. i'll warn the thief. but on the police part...he still can deny it.

Why you so cute.Originally posted by fai:Ok.. i'll warn the thief. but on the police part...he still can deny it.
Take down his Identification Card and copy the details.
If he say he doesn't have his IC with him, call police (He'll somehow make one IC out)
Or get him to dial his house number or closest kin to verify/get his particulars.
Many ways to deal. Got to think harder.
Ask him if he wants to go to lock up or let you copy down his particulars.
When you have his particulars and regconise him. There is nothing much he can do except to look for another victim, unless he's a hardcore offender. Which i'd doubt.
If anything problem arises again, you can threaten to hand over his particulars to the police.

kkk... i'll do that.thanks for the advice and wait for my news.

Most importantly, you got to give him the 'don't think i'm playing a fool with you,' kind of look.Originally posted by fai:kkk... i'll do that.thanks for the advice and wait for my news.
Give him the 'If you ever mess with my Big sweep uncle friend again, you're going to be so screwed' kind of tone. Be creative leh!!!! Think of how to deter crime la....
Cheers!!!! -
And we are resorting to all this becos the police couldnt be bothered?
Sigh -
At least i didn't say, get a few friends and ambush old man and whack him up hor.Originally posted by laurence82:And we are resorting to all this becos the police couldnt be bothered?
Sigh
Since our thread starter has moral issues....i guess my way is one of the solution. -
im really not into crime fighting
that's why im here to hear from the community before i make any decisions... -
Actually if you're not into crime fighting then it's better not put your foot into it.Originally posted by fai:im really not into crime fighting that's why im here to hear from the community before i make any decisions...
If things gets complicated then you also sian.
But if you're willing to help. Then go ahead. -
if things get complicated at least i can blame you...
