This is a real incident I would like to share :

Few days ago, while coming back from office, my wife stopped on a red light when a beggar with clutches approached her for some money. Since the light was about to turn to green, my wife told him to step back. While he was stepping back, she noticed a sharp object tied to his clutches on the bottom but could not relate it with any malicious intentions. As soon as the light turned green, my wife started driving and suddenly sensed that one of her car tyre was flat. However, my wife kept on driving to find somebody who could fix the tyre as it was a tedious job and she wanted to avoid doing it on her own. When she stopped on the next trye shop, the shopkeeper told her that it was good that she did not stop on the red light as the beggar's plan was to stop her so that when she gets down from the car to check the car tyre, the other beggar would have taken her purse and mobile and ran away. The car tyre had a cut almost 5 inches long and it was clear that the tyre was cut with that sharp object tied to the clutches of the beggar. Inspite of the fact that she did not lose her mobile and wallet, the car trye had to be replaced costing me over Rs. 3000. However, I was happy that she was unharmed and returned safely back home . Ladies, please learn from this incident which happened with my wife and never get down to check the tyre if you feel that you have a flat tyre. Keep on driving till you get to a safe point, like a place where a PCR Van is standing and then stop. Many beggars bang something on the other side of car and the moment you get down, they take away the valuables from car like laptop, wallet mobile etc. Even if you hear a bang, do not stop till you get a safe point.

Safety First!
