A tale of two muggings

Just when you least expect trouble it can come your way and make an otherwise memorable day memorable for other reasons. Case in point the French tourist visiting a wildlife sanctuary in Malaysia who was attacked by an orangutan who tried to make off with her backpack and left her bruised and scratched. (The incident has dispelled her previous belief of orangutans as "friendly, cuddly creatures".)
Or the couple in NY's Central Park who were robbed at gunpoint almost as soon as he proposed. Let's hope neither of them is superstitious/see it as a bad omen because it could leave one a little anxious about the big (wedding) day - she had just accepted when the (heartless) robber jumped out at them before making off with his watch and their (romantic) dinner money.
