In her country calling the police is useless. If they do show up at all, the chances are that they might extort money from you. I've tried to explain that most police in this country are not like that. She is still a bit leery and at this point feels that there is nothing the police can do. I've tried to explain that you file a report on the incident and then the police are aware of this kind of activity and will keep a look out for it. She has a hard time understanding that.
The other thing is that she wasn't touched and the guy never really got any closer than about fifteen feet from her so I'm not really even sure what we would report.
