ROAD SIDE CON GAMES
Astute
people with good brain material plan deeper games to have a prize catch but
then there are armatures who settle for small fish in the pond. Mediocre people
commonly come across these starters and become prey to their beginners luck. I
have two to discuss today.
INCIDENT-1
This
particular woman is known to be very week hearted. You utter one harsh word and
million tears starts to pour from her tanked eyes. She has a habit to dig
deeper meanings to everything said to her and because of it she had got the
reputation of ‘Drama Queen’. Though it was wired into her DNA, there was
nothing she could do to nullify it.
Her
anxiety was turning into anguish and hence she stopped going out alone, in this
hostile world. She was dependent on her husband and kid for even pity daily
outdoor routines. But as the fate had it at that point of time, she was forced
to face the extra terrestrial environment outside the house all alone.
She
urgently had to reach some relative because of some unavoidable circumstances.
Her husband was at its workplace and kid at college. The unavailability of back
up support system was the reason of initial stammering but she thought she will
hire a direct auto rickshaw from her house to her destiny. It will not only cut
short her contact with outer world but also, what could possibly go wrong while
she travel without shunting many public transport facilities.
Her
plan and her jaunt were almost successful till she reached the last red-light
of her destined location.
It
was still two minutes left for light to turn green that she was confronted by
that red light bagger who by displaying the images of deities seeks for money.
The
ragged man approached her and asked for money. She first refused but when he
started prying her she succumbed. Actually he was asking her to shed dough so
that charity would bring good luck to her family or else her refusal could make
her pay bigger price later.
The
sentimental queen went into emotional shock and in no time opened her purse and
caught hold of a stray ten rupees note and handed over to him.
That
was her first mistake that she broadly window displayed her vulnerability
factor. The rusted man had just warmed up a little till then. He again tried to
mud the water for a bigger catch. He told lady that she should take out the
biggest currency note from her wallet and get is blessed by the deities he
carries for good luck.
Her
inner self was euphoric, she have just stumbled over a good luck formula. In
her inner happiness and satisfaction taking it as a sign of providence, she
took out a five hundred bill to get blessed. Well, that was the last time she
saw that in her hand.
The
next time all she was holding was the deities in her hand and her eyeballs were
busy tracing the marathon run of that con man.
INCIDENT-2
She
was a rich man’s rich wife with the habit of flaunting her pleasantries. Another
thing that hiked in her charts was to update her with the latest gossip going
around the town.
So
one day, like any other common winter day, she went out to enjoy the winter
afternoon with her buddies. While they were through discussing the news updates
and breaking news for two hours, it was a time to part away fully satisfied
about the quote of the day, she started her journey towards home.
She
was just a block away from the house that she was confronted by two men who
blocked her way and started to scold her.
“Are
you insane lady? Do you know there have been a theft and murder in the house at
corner of the street and look at you; you are all dressed up with all these
sparkles walking on the road so carelessly. Are you waiting for something to
happen to you and create more mess for cops like us? Here take out your
jewellery and let me hide it in this newspaper and give it back to you.”
The
lady was taken a back a bit but the next second her petrifaction changed into
curiosity to know about the murder and theft in the house at the corner. While
the cop number two was filling the blank spaces for her, cop number one was
busy handling her valuable carefully. He nicely rapped her two gold bangles and
two rings and one locket in sheets and returned to her. Finally when they
parted, the lady was beaming with firsthand knowledge of active crime scene and
on other hand all praises for vigilant cops of her town who took good care of
her.
Her
happiness was short lived. When she noticed, her gold have turned into a blunt
metal with gold paint. It was then she realized that she have part and parcel
of first hand robbery.
Though
the CCTV cameras captured the whole modes operandi and pictures of her
assailant but the real police have yet to make any arrest.
