Witness of a Robbery Attempt

I don't think I'll be writing this kind of entries very often, so here you have.

I walked downstairs from the apartment immersed in my thoughts this Saturday morning way to CITEDI (A research center), without forgetting to enjoy good metal music on my mp3 player. I was noticing reality (and my destiny) through images, pictures or photographs before my eyes.

Pic 1 [Left]: Vehicular traffic.

Pic 2 [Right]: A man (1) with some overwheight and shaven-head in an opened chest of a car.

Pic 3 [Left]: I see a woman on the other sidewalk, she didn't catch my attention.

Pic 4 [Right]: A second man (2), low height, brown skin, goes running at full speed flooding desperation in his face.

Surprised I think, Is it really important to arrive on time at some event he is attending so he's attempting to get the bus?

Pic 5 [Left]: Traffic, no bus is stopped or on the way.

Blimey! Why is he running so hurry then?

Pic 6 [A few meters away]: Man(1) and (2) fighting.

What a way of interact in his friendship!

Pic 7: - A close up - The same men knocking each other hardly.

Pictures take up life and now there were more pictures per second that my brain was processing. I realized that man(1) was trying to steal a woman's car...

Next scene: A lady carrying things points the man(1) telling me "Do something! He's stealing my car."

Obviously I was not in conditions because (a) I was carrying my net book with important information and (b) I do not usually commit aggression.

The thief runs and the other man(2) indecisive, delays in the persecution. I saw this one as a movie while I was walking in the same sidewalk without going away from my destiny.

Finally, when man (2) almost overtakes the thief, this one gets up to a car aided by a colleague and they run away. From my distance, I was not able to view the license plate number. From the other sidewalk I asked to the man(2) (still unrest) if he was able to watch the license plate number of that vehicle, but he gave me a negative response, obviously attributed to the flush and adrenaline of the moment. I struggled my shoulders and continued my road.

Along the walk I thought (and I believe is a good question for you to do):

To see a person with an opened chest attempting to steal your vehicle. What will you do if you were in that situation?

Share your possible reactions, I'll share mine.
