One usually goes to the market expecting to gain things, not lose them. But an unfortunate 24-year-old almost kissed his shiny laptop goodbye on Saturday in Kratie town when a thief broke into his parked car and snatched his computer bag.

The youngster was busy browsing in the market when the thief smashed his vehicle’s window, grabbed the bag and bolted. Luckily market security spotted the robber and police quickly gave chase, packing him off to court.
