My husband while walking our dog this morning near Drivers Bar in Villamartin was nearly the victim of a distraction robbery, he was approached by a lady who asked the time, she then attempted to shake his hand, classic technique to get the watch off your wrist, run off get in a car and get away.

My husband defended himself robustly and she ran off empty handed to a car with others.

Keep your wits about you folks.

These robbing thieves need locked up. Someone, informed me of the same attempted robbery last week but the scummy thieves were successful on this occasion and managed to remove a gentleman’s expensive wrist watch. All, be on your guard against these low life people.

He was OK but I am told but was annoyed with himself for falling for the sick thing they did to him.

Yes, we all need to watch ourselves, and also watch our watches. Additionally, keep a lookout and a close watch for others who might also be watching our watches. Watch out for these people.

I hope by your husband ' defending himself robustly' he gave her the kicking she richly deserved?

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

As long as you are OK that is the main thing.

 Me personally, I would like a couple of minutes in private with these scum thieves for a wee chat,  even a minute would be long enough😚
