What images come to mind when you read the title of this conversation, "Personal Security: Theft in the Park"? What people might be involved: men, women, and/or children? What time of day is it? What is stolen? Write down your ideas.
I think thiefes try to earn some money to buy some food or clothes, but they don't find to work for their need, so they have to stole from people for their need. Sometimes men, women or children can stole something in the park, but i think children usually stole in there. Because, children are under the 18 age, so they don't punish by goverment. They also can stole easly, their are very small.:) They stole midday, while people was going to home, to work out in night. They always stole some money, food, some gold and their stole peolple's life. They sometimes kill someone to stole.:((((

The bridge was made of wood, it had a narrow walkway,so if the train came on it, the train would hit people in there. And people would drop in the river. The river was shallow and fast. DANGEROUS!
