To rewrite the story into the present tense, the verbs need to be changed to their present tense forms. The changes are as follows:
- "stole" changes to "steals"
- "was crossing" changes to "is crossing"
- "saw" changes to "sees"
- "thought" changes to "thinks"
- "snatched" changes to "snatches"
- "lost" changes to "loses"
All other parts of the story remain the same.
