Pengalaman Kecopetan di Pasar Baru Bandung


By :  Aisha Noor

Jangan bayangkan copet selalu sebagai laki-laki yang tangkas, berbadan tegap, berpenampilan lusuh dsb. Lebih baik anda waspada pada siapapun di dekat anda dengan gerak-gerik mencurigakan. Inilah pelajaran yang saya ambil dari pengalaman kecopetan di Pasar Baru Bandung.

Kejadian naas ini baru-baru saja saya alami. Di siang hari bolong dan keadaan pasar justru sedang tak terlalu ramai. Pasar yang terletak di Jl. Otto Iskandardinata Bandung ini sebenarnya sudah kerap saya kunjungi, tapi baru kali ini mengalami kecopetan.

Siang itu saya sedang memilah-milih kerudung di tempat pedagang pinggir jalan. Sebenarnya, saya sudah berusaha menjaga barang bawaan dengan meletakkan tas di dada. Saat itu ada dua pembeli ibu-ibu yang juga tampak sedang memilih kerudung. Ibu di sebelah kiri saya berkaos kuning dan berkerudung dan ibu di sebelah kanan saya tidak berkerudung.
