Singaporeans are used to snatching up groceries, but someone else\u2019s meal? That is new.<\/p>\n
Content creator Lin Ling posted a TikTok to share a bizarre encounter at Woodleigh FairPrice Finest.<\/p>\n
Lin Ling was shopping at the supermarket when she realised that the S$60 red stew chicken hotpot she had tapao-ed was missing. “I just turned around for a moment, and when I turned back, it was gone,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Or so she thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lin Ling later shared in the video that a staffer from FairPrice Finest had seen a woman in red take her food.<\/p>\n
She had accepted her bad luck and was walking away when she\u00a0spotted a woman in red pushing a trolley, walking away. At that time, she was unsure if that was the same woman who had actually stolen her food.<\/p>\n
Lin Ling decided to follow her all the way to the MRT station.\u201cMaybe when I get close to her, I can get a whiff if there is any red stew chicken smell,\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n
She said that when the woman in red noticed her, she quickly walked away and entered the MRT gantry.<\/p>\n
Just as a train was about to arrive, Lin Ling noticed her tapao-ed food, still in the plastic bag, eventually reappeared, presumably placed on the seat at the train station by the woman in red.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello! Stop there! I saw you! You know I am following you, right?\u201d Lin Ling hollered when she saw what unfolded.<\/p>\n
She then said the woman denied stealing her food when questioned, insisting Lin Ling had gotten the wrong person.<\/p>\n
\u201cI recorded everything, and she hurriedly boarded the train,\u201d Lin Ling added.<\/p>\n
Umm\u2026 Bizarre, much?<\/p>\n
Lin Ling later says she didn\u2019t follow the woman onto the train as she didn\u2019t want her food to go missing again.<\/p>\n
Netizens were left both entertained and baffled.<\/p>\n
Many applauded Lin Ling for her bravery, while others suggested she should have called the police.<\/p>\n
One netizen mused: \u201cShe left the item on the seat, so she didn\u2019t steal it, but returned it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNext time I get caught by the police after robbing a bank, I will do the same,\u201d Lin Ling replied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
