Beware of Thieves on Parties/Receptions
It was March 23,2008 when my husband and I attended a wedding reception at Century Park Hotel.
The souvenir for the guests is a photo mug with the guest's picture on it. So the photo mug supplier need to shoot a still picture of the guests, print the image on their special paper, let it dry, cut it, dip it on a pan with water, carefully stick the paper to the mug, let the image dry on the mug and then put the mug to a transparent plastic container.
They have a lot to do, and there are so many guests. Well there are guests who comes in groups so it would be a group on one mug. Example would be a family group photo. But there are so many photo mug stubs so there are those families that have 10 mugs.
The supplier are a group of more than five people. When the mugs are ready for distribution, they would put the mugs in another table. The bridesmaid and some other girls are helping too.
But there is this not too old woman in blue with eyeglasses who is helping them. The supplier thought the woman is with the reception. But the bridesmaid, the girls and a relative of the newly wed thought the woman is one of the people of the supplier.
That woman just help them with the task and finally had done her deed. She had put a shoulder bag of one of the people of the supplier, and put it on another bigger bag. The relative of the newly wed had seen her but just ignore it.
And finally, when they discovered that the bag is missing, there's nothing more to do. Maybe the old thief had get her way out while the guests are busy going out of the place.
I guess everyone should be strict on who are the only authorized persons to help. And people should be cautious on where to put their personal belongings.

yikes. delikado yun ah. pero ang hassle din naman kasi ng mga photo mugs eh. although maganda concept, mabagal and maraming tao kelangan.
tapos na yung reception, ang dami pang naghihintay na guests to get their mug. yung sa akin, isa ako sa last nakakuha ng mug, although maaga ako dumating. kasi sira yung pagkaprint nung sa akin.
so yung mga may sira, huli nila nakukuha yung kanila. then yung suppliers wala ng time to check their personal belongings.
hmm hirap nga nyan. i guess its a lesson learned for everyone - no matter what never leave your things unattended especially in places with many people. you'll never know when a thief is around or when one would suddenly be a thief.
