The testimony of the woman robbed in a car wash with the trick of coins

“Late in the morning – explained the woman – I went to collect the car and after paying I placed my bag on the passenger seat and, since it was hot, I lowered the window. As I was about to board she felt a guy touch me on the shoulder and at that moment I thought it was one of the employees. The young man told me that I had dropped some pennies on the ground, but as I bent down to pick them up he heard screams, so I looked up and saw what was actually the car wash employee holding my bag. So terrified I started screaming for help and then I saw a car go away. The owner of the laundry next door, having seen everything, told me what had happened and she called the police.”
