Beware pickpockets about

Just been to MERCIO CHINA LA MARINA. ( 1.00PM) while roaming around with my trolly I observed a man carring two big earthen ware plantpots they were quite heavy, but he was trying to get some thing else under his arm. So being a good Christian as I am I went to help him. After a bit of a struggle we managed to get them under his arm. Then he said thank you vrery much and had a smirky smile on his face, my thoughts went back to someone posting something on this forum about simular incident a few months back. So my hand went to my wallet BEHOLD IT WAS NOT THERE. I moved fast went straight to the checkout reported it and waited because I would have spoted him right away. Just then a police man walked passed the shop, Another man then handed in my walllet saying he had found it on the floor. But he quickly went out of the shop. Checked the wallet nothing was missing. They were both well dressed men . I was very lucky SO BEWARE MY FRIENDS.

How awfull is that Smuge...after all you were just trying to help someone or so you thought! Anyway all is well that ends well...but why I ask did they just drop the wallet was it that they saw the police it's a mistery to me..these people are scary and not even good at what they do.. Anyway the main thing is that you are ok and the best thing is that your wallet was intact thankfully

You are to much of a gentleman for your own good Smudge. Next time you go down there shopping I will come with you and be your Rotweiler. Hasta Martes.

A loaded mouse trap in your pocket soon wakes them up

They have cameras in that shop
Get them to put His/there pics up so we all know what they look like.

If you keep a loaded mouse trap in your pocket does the cheese not start to smell a bit.

My friend was in Lidl last week and was lending a hand to an old man who was having trouble picking up his shopping...when they went to pay his wallet had gone from his very deep pockets..also I read in local paper a lady in a torry supermarket went to help someone in the same situation a person cam from beghind her tried to get her handbag, and as she retaliated got stabbed in the arm and off they went..sounds like the same people eh!!
