: Esta sería la mejor respuesta, porque el "raponeo" o "raponazo" puede sucederle tanto a hombres como a mujeres. No siempre se trata de bolsos, o carteras, puede tratarse del robo de celulares, que son arrebatados.

Raponear
"Precisamente, en las reuniones previas de las academias para los americanismos, Bernal tuvo que hacer una mímica para que sus colegas le entendieran qué significaba la palabra raponear.
«Tuve que parar a una de las asistentes, tomarle la cartera a la fuerza y salir corriendo para que los miembros de las otras academias me entendieran», contó Bernal."
