Friendly Stranger Steals Necklace

A woman from India, Alka Lal, was enjoying a peaceful morning on her son’s front steps in Calgary when a stranger in a white car approached her in her native language, even asking for a hug. While she was distracted, the thief swiftly snatched her necklace before speeding away. Police say this is part of a growing trend of “distracted thefts,” where criminals use charm and surprise to catch victims off guard. Though Alka wasn’t physically harmed, she’s shaken and more cautious now. Her son warns that older people are especially vulnerable to such tactics. Police urge everyone to stay alert and trust their instincts—don’t let a friendly stranger steal your peace—or your possessions.
