Pickpocket gang in Iceland today.

[Tarot]

Around noon today, an old lady was robbed in Iceland. Earlier while in the store, at the meat counter she was surrounded by a group of Indians,she said. Then just as she was about to leave. two of that group snatched her purse and ran out the door. THe lady was taken in the staff office. she was in her seventies with a sholley trolley. So be alert.

[Sue]

Iceland have a security guy, don't they, where was he??

[ianr]

Tarot, did you witness it? If not, is your information from an eye witness?

[Narnia]

What meat counter?

[waynetta]

We're they red indians? I've heard Iceland security are a bunch of cowboys.

[Tarot]

No I was not a witness ,a neighbour was there at the time.

[Narnia]

Are we talking the store or the country? There isn't a meat counter in the former.

[Jeremy]

I've very rarely seen groups of Indian/Asian lads around here (causing trouble or otherwise).

And as Narnia points out, I don't think Iceland has a meat counter (it's a frozen food shop).

While any robbery is concerning, I'm not sure that the second/third hand info in the OP is to be taken seriously.

[Tarot]

Yes Jeremy, we should always check the facts. Narnia ,I wasnt talking about where Aslam lives. As for the word counter. I meant meat section. That should be clear enough for those who want to split hairs.

FHS, give the wo/man a break! The way you pounce on him/her like Angela Lansbury with a migraine is shaming. It's as if you are expecting, nay WANTING, the poster to be a crypto-racist just so you can be the first to jump up and down with your liberal knickers in the air (and yes, that is a Jonathan King reference, but I am not a pedlo, before you start.)

Tarot,

What kind of Indians? Muslim perhaps? Could your bigotry influence you to make racially inflammatory postings of robberies you haven?t witnessed?

[Nero]

QED

[Moos]

Nero, bless you, but calling yourself a pedlo (or rather not a pedlo) is quite funny.

[Chick]

I am just going on previous postings.

And I havent worn knickers since 1955

[dimples]

thanks for letting us know to be aware Tarot, poor lady !

[SimonM]

I find this all too credible. A few years back I had my pocket picked in W H Smith's in Bromley by a team of 3 Asian-origin young women. One distracted me by leaning across the bookshelves I was studying, 1 was the dip and 1 was the look-out.

Totally agree with you

[waynetta]

Stone the crows. Racism, bigotry, sniping. BORING! Aint we all been down this road too many times before?

I know. Let's all have a laugh instead.

AVOID wasting hot water by emptying the bath into a series of Thermos flasks and storing it until required again.
