Yesterday..in my everyday path near our office..something thrilling happened..two guys selling some wild animal nails in the sidewalk approached me and offer their goods for some amount..At first, I ignored them, but one apprehended me up to the other side of the overpass . Pls. he said..buy this for only 5 rmb..I looked at this guy and thinking that he maybe did'nt have a breakfast yet..so then I took money from my pocket and paid him..and he said "come to me on the other side and let me cut one nail from the paw"..I went with him to his fellow who at once cut a finger of the bear and started weighing it..then said.."ok pay this for 1800 rmb.."I was shocked and said I already paid it.."You have to pay this amount"he answered..I do not have that amount and I will not pay it that much..they have the opportunity this time since no other passerby..one took a jungle bolo and said "we will kill you if you will not pay"I have to deal with this situation..this what I thought..Ok, let me get some money so I can pay you..I really do not have that much..I said..but they do not let me go..while I am thinking what to do next,..some passersby came..then a lot more and the one who is holding the jungle bolo put his bolo in the ground together with other goods..then this was my chance to scape..then I walked as fast as I could..and I scaped safely.
I had a notion to report this matter to the police..but what evidence and witness shall I present.
and being a foreigner make me hesitate. It is really non sense to do it.
This is the third incident so far that I witnessed crime here..one time is 7:30 at night , where a lady's laptop was snatched..2nd time was 8 oclock in the morning..where one guy got some goods from a grocery and ran away, and the 3rd time is now that I , was the suppose victim..Not bad for two years stay in this urban city of Shanghai..
