Common distraction

Pretending to ask for directions is a common distraction technique used by thieves, robbers, thugs etc.

Story:
Malaysia -- He was only being helpful to strangers seeking directions but Lee Eng Fei's good intention ended with him becoming a snatch theft victim.

In the incident early this month, Lee was approached by two men on a motorcycle on the pretext of asking for directions.

They attacked him with a parang, first slashing him on the head and back. After he surrendered his money, the thieves mercilessly slashed him again, this time on the hands.
