Walking down the hill with my wife as per daily routine yesterday. Near the bottom of the hill approached by two girls who suddenly started pleading with us in Spanish and broken English for us to have them clean for us. Tried to get away but they kept grabbing our arms and pleading. A car pulled up and they quickly jumped in . Expensive watch robbed and reported to police. Be vigilant as I believe they have done this before. In their twenties long hair dark.

Hi Douglas , and Welcome to the Forum.

I am sorry your first post has to be one describing a horrible experience endured by your Wife and Yourself. I also hope you both are not too upset and see these people as the scum they most truly are.

Thank you for warning other members of this scam .I am sure we are all with you in hoping these people are brought to justice resulting in the return of your property.

Hopefully we will hear satisfactory news in time to come.

Take care ! 

LeckyLes.

Sorry to hear of your experience, a typical distraction robbery.

Many thanks for your support. Still thinking we should have reacted quicker. Police were really helpful in Santa Pola
