| Warning : Rose sellers in Glasgow may be pickpockets. Just a wee heads-up...
My boss at work was out on Friday night, and ended up getting the usual "You buy rose?" not-taking-no-for-an-answer shite at the bus stop.
Unfortunately, after a few minutes of hassling, she noticed that one of the bastards had his hand in her handbag, and was about to dip her purse.
Her mate noticed at the same time she did, and he tried to claim that they were crazy and had been drinking too much - As he legged it down the street.
Given that she was sober at this point, and pretty levelheaded and trustworthy anyway... I figure it'd be a good idea to keep an eye on your bag if you do end up surrounded by folk trying to hawk rubbish flowers or shite with blinky LEDs.
Of course, it's common sense anyway, but now we know at least one of em's at it.
Watch oot, folks. |
