They got scared, threw my wallet on the floor while wiggling free from my clutches. The security guard that came to my assistance saw the wallet on the ground and returned it to me before chasing after them. Our group quickly entered our hotel which is 15m away.
For the record, I was wearing jeans with shirt untucked to cover my pockets. He still managed to pull it out! Slick!
The next night, it was both hands sticking in my back pockets!  |
You should take a leaf from one of the bros here...... I followed his example of placing mini razors inside my unused pockets. Once bitten twice shy
These kids give me a wide berth now whenever they see me.
