New Robbery method @ Ngee Ann city

Just received this latest theft technique used by robbers. It seems feasible so take heed.

Warning for all the ladies out there and men please inform your significant other. (And, hey, it could happen to the guys!) The
Latest Scam: Robbing Females using the restroom/'ladies'/bathroom at a Shopping Mall......

The way the scam works is, a man slips into a women's rest room and sneaks into a unit. He waits until there is only one woman in the restroom in a neighbouring unit/stall. The criminal then stands on the toilet ! seat and points a hand gun into the next stall, demanding the woman's valuables. After getting her cash and jewellery, he demands that she remove all of her clothing and kick them out of the unit/stall. The thief tosses the clothing into a shopping bag, hangs a! n 'out of order sign' on the restroom door outside, and slips backinto the mall.
The 'out of order sign' ensures no one will soon come to the woman's rescue. It usually takes an hour or two for the woman to work up the nerve to leave the rest room in the nude, giving the criminal ample time to make his get away. The woman is left naked humiliated in a mall full of strangers.

The best defence, say police, is to never go into a shopping mall restroom alone, as only women who are by themselves are targeted.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. This has so far been a nearly perfect crime, as none of the perpetrators have been caught.
