Russian navy locates missing ship

The ship, Artic Sea, sailed off from Finland to Algeria on 23 July carrying onboard a cargo of timber worth US$2 million (S$2.9 million). The crew of 15 on the ship was said to be hijacked on the night of July 24 by 8 masked man. The crew let them embark on the ship as they were fooled by their lie that they had some problem with their inflatable craft. Then they threatened the crew to change the course way of the ship with their firearms and turned off the freighter's navigation equipment. The ship's owner claimed that hijackers boarded the vessel near the Swedish island of Gotland. The hijackers claimed to be searching for drugs and reportedly beat then tied up the crew. They sped off half a day later in a inflatable craft. The ship was found on Monday with all the crew safe and sound.

This kind of situation often happens. Someone gets tricked because he is too kind. People tend to make use of others' kindness to gain sympathy from them and then trick them of their properties or other kinds of valuables to reach their goal. This is quite despicable for those who do that as to those for lend them a helping hand. Being kind is good but it may lead to your ow demise sometimes so being suspicious of people sometimes is good as they may have ulter motives.
