As I initially said, and similar sentiments have been expressed in later posts from others.  Just use some Common Sense, unfortunately this sort of thing happens everywhere. So far the post must be leading up to a joke !  An Irish man and his young son, two Romanian gypsies and a fat sh...

...ort woman walk into a pub, The short fat woman suddenly hugs the bar man? All we need is the English man and the Scotsman !, Sometimes we can be our worst enemies, that’s where common sense comes into play. 

The Englishman got mugged and the Scotsman was too mean to buy a watch !


I’ll get my coat !

You can’t get your coat, one of the Romanian gypsies has already stolen it.

So making a rational assessment now falls into the realm of political correctness DOES IT ?

I don't understand why the police don't do more. It's the same thing every year. They know they're there, why not set up a few unmarked cars on patrol, or even random on duty plain clothes on the beat?

Personally i would have a few people walk about the town with high end watches on that are bugged, or have the people with the watches watched. It would be a matter of time until a mugger moves in and then bang, gotcha....

...

The reason the police don't do more is lack of resources, Orihuela costa should have at least 40 police officers for our size of population, we have less than half that number.

There are a few ´tricks of the trade´ used by the muggers & also other nefarious sorts looking to distract you for the wrong reasons.

If anyone would like some self-defense/awareness training, I have over 25 years of martial arts and street scenario self-defense training. Can give you a higher level of awareness and generally up the safety level of yourself and understanding of the tricks and psychology used.

I used to teach full and part-time, including in the dojo in Quesada. If anyone - all ages would like any help, welcome to message me.

Can’t disagree with your description for such individuals. Irrespective, how do we know they are Romanian gypsies if they have not yet been apprehended. How can they be sure that the victim is wearing a high end watch, could be just a fake Rolex or the like. And if the female does the attacking...

..., they must be very selective. Wouldn’t attack a 6 foot tall, fit looking  heavyweight, with the possibility he bought his watch from the lucky lucky man and worth twenty Euros. They must have had some previous close interaction with the intended victims, so they know for sure that they are on a winner. The bottom line is don’t wear valuable jewellery or even imitations of such, you are just inviting trouble. I have seen so many folks with fake gold chains, necklaces, watches etc. It’s just like carrying a huge sign, saying mug me!. Not condoning this in any way, absolutely not, but sometimes the victims could do with a bit of common sense.

For the last 30 years the Roma gypsies in Spain have been in the forefront of most of all the scams and thieving,you get so you recognise them instantly and take preventative action,visitors seem not to recognise the various nationalities so well and succumb to the ," you can't tar everyone with the same brush" mantra,a kind of "Gullibles travel guide." For a lot of people. a Rolex is a luxury they have promised themselves for years and so they deserve to wear it with pride,the modern ," it's your own fault etc" is just a sad reflection on the up and coming "me " generation and their attitude to crime.
