Woman Loses $30,000 in a Forgetful Minute
Picture this: She was buzzing around the Golden Mile Complex with a tall stack of goodies — a bag that held $30,000 in cash, two Thai gold amulets, a shiny pair of Louis Vuitton earrings, and a charging cable that’s probably been seen more times than a celebrity’s Instagram story.
The Trip
The ride? Tada from Sengkang to her branded goods store. She hopped on at the usual rush hour and was all set to make a pitch to a customer.
Where the Bad Luck Happened
- 10:20 am – She arrives at the garage, ready to go.
- 10:33 am – She realises the bag is HIDDEN behind her seat after meeting a client.
- She’s like, “The LV earrings? For my customer. The money? For a Thai amulet trip. The charging cable? Compatibility check. Oh, and a free perfume sample? Good luck.”
- She drops the bag right on her seat, then gets off the vehicle — oops, it’s gone!
The Quest for It
The driver says he saw nothing. She calls the company at 10:40 am, then the police at 10:50 am. Police? Check. Officer? Check. Police department says they opened an investigation.
Her Side of the Story
She admits she was carrying a dream bank for Thailand, not just to splurge on a Gucci jacket. “I wanted to transfer that cash over. If those 30,000 had stayed, I could have topped up my shop’s Gucci & Chanel inventory.”
Her Takeaway
“I’m devilishly worried,” she confesses. “If I had that cash, my store would be a runway.”
