Published on: Wed, May 28, 2025 Text Size: A still from the video. A would-be thief in Tenom got more fibre than fortune after snatching a woman's bag on May 26, only to discover it contained papayas, a bunch of keys, and a bottle of water. According to Info X and a short viral video, the woman escaped shaken but unharmed—while the contents left netizens more amused than alarmed. "Short-lived happiness, heavy load," quipped one user, while another added, "That thief must be traumatised for life and repent." 'He must be full from eating papayas,' joked another. Police have yet to confirm details, but the fruit-filled twist has already made this Tenom tale ripe for laughs online. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
