Saw a police signboard at blk 10 today, appealing for witness to a 'Snatch Theft' which occurred yesterday....
Why must they use the words 'snatch theft'? Isn't that simply equivalent to the word 'robbery'? Is 'snatch theft' more commonly used or more easily understood? Besides, how can a 'theft' be committed in 'snatch' mode? A 'theft' is supposed to be done unknowingly, without the victim finding out until much later.....
