While travelling on a train, the actor claimed that he had his backpack containing his laptop, cash and other items stolen.
Not knowing what to do, he asked his followers on Instagram for advice while also reminding them to be careful on their travels.
On 12 Dec, actor Desmond Tan uploaded two Instagram stories, sharing that he was robbed while on a train in Italy.
In his first story, he wrote that his backpack was stolen while he was on a train in Italy.

All his cash for his trip, his laptop and “many other stuff” were among the missing items.
In light of the incident, Tan warned others travelling during this period to be extremely careful with their belongings.
In the second Instagram story, he sought advice from followers who may have faced similar experiences overseas.

Judging from his question, one can infer that he intended to file a police report and needed some guidance on how to go about doing that.
Tan has yet to post any updates since, so it’s unclear if he has made a report or any progress in finding his possessions.
Hours before the story went live, the actor had posted a photo of himself posing in from of the Duomo di Milano.
MS News has reached out to Desmond Tan for comments on the matter and will update the article accordingly.
