Don't let the thieves spoil the fun when you go out for coffee with someone you like.

Cafes in every corner of Shanghai are the foothold for friends, relatives, leisure friends and lovers to fall in love with each other. However, judging from the statistics of the recent criminal cases of the Jing'an Court, not only restaurants in the past, but also cafes have gradually become the "worst-hit areas" for thieves. Some criminals have set their sights on the cafe. First, with the help of dim lights and raging voices, people have relaxed their vigilance, and second, male and female lovers are immersed in kissing me and taking advantage of the opportunity to steal. Recently, the Shanghai Jing'an Court tried Zheng Ruwen, Hu Erbing and other criminal gangs for stealing from cafes and sentenced eight criminals, including Zheng Ruwen and Hu Erbing, to terms ranging from five and a half years to 10 months and property sentences.

After the trial, the court found that these criminal gangs who fled to commit crimes in cafes had the following characteristics: first, there was a division of labor in joint crimes. The criminal gang made it clear that someone committed the theft, some acted as a cover, and some were in charge of the lookout. For example, at about 8: 00 p.m. on May 25 last year, criminal Luo Yan and Hu Yuekun stole a lady's backpack from a pair of young women who were falling in love in a cafe on Yuyao Road in this city. It contains RMB 6000, a Nokia 8800 mobile phone and a bank card. Afterwards, the stolen money in the bag was carved up and squandered, and other stolen goods were casually thrown away. Second, the means of joint crime are crazy. For example, at about 18:00 on October 5 last year, Hu Erbing, together with Zhang Xing and others, adopted the technique of "relay" passed down by many people in a shop on Nanjing West Road in this city. the black satchel that the victim Yan placed on the chair next to him was quickly transferred out of the door with 9200 yuan, bank cards, identity cards, and other things inside. Under the cover of the crime as a lookout, these criminals fled the scene of the crime one after another. Third, joint crime is very greedy. Most criminals will choose lovers' stalls. For example, at about 20: 00 on June 12 last year, Zheng Ruwen and others conspired in advance to drive a vehicle from their temporary residence to a cafe on Xinzha Road in this city, and according to the prior division of labor, they stole the victim's bag, including an Hewlett-Packard laptop, a Nokia mobile phone and a bank card. After success, the criminals held bank cards and quickly bought more than 50,000 yuan of gold jewelry from the gold jewelry store and distributed the spoils.

The court found that most of the criminals involved in these coffee shop burglaries were related to their relatives, and their educational level was generally not high. They generally had a low level of education in primary and junior high schools. These people came to Shanghai without proper work, and the veteran and novice usually made a living by stealing. When they had no money, they had a hungry meal, and after success, they had a full life. Once the theft is lost, the criminals will scatter like a fallen tree and go back to their hometown one after another. After the "limelight" is over, in addition to the criminals who have been caught, other criminals will form new criminal gangs to continue to commit crimes.

The judge reminded couples who like to go to cafes to make love when they fall in love emotionally, they should always stay awake and pay attention to the bag around them. At the same time, it is also suggested that men and women who go to cafes should put their backpacks and handbags beside them or under their field of vision, or bring less valuables and huge amounts of money to cafes; in addition, conditional cafes can also set up storage rooms for articles, implement free consumption and deposit goods, and put an end to the hidden danger of theft from the roots.
