Rio de Janeiro- What's so unusual about the way 22-year old Mirna Marchetti was robbed on her bus ride home after work? The assailants not only took the Brazilian saleswoman's handbag and cellphone but also chopped off her long flowing hair. "We got on at the same stop and they sat behind me," Mirna Marchetti said. "Then all of a sudden I felt someone pulling my hair. My friend tried to help me but they just cut it off, right at the base". Marchetti's hair was dark, straight and reached down to her waist. She said she had not cut it for four years. Police
suspect the thieves hope to sell the hair to a hairdresser. Beauty salons in Rio can charge more than 500 reais ($250) for top-quality hair extensions, salon owner Rosangela Castro said. "I'm already used to leave home without anything of value just to avoid being robbed," Mirna told reporters. "But to steal my hair, this is absurd. I'm very sad."
