I’m often in Wimborne.

I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for senoritas wearing Rolexes.

It is kinda sad. I have a friend, actually a married couple that are police officers. She is In a smaller town he is in a city nearby. They are stretched so thin they pretty much “turn and burn” just go from call to call, more so the male as he is city based. They have little time to devote to prevention. When they are dealing with a lot of violence property loss falls to the wayside. I know we would view taking someone property off their body as violent but they are dealing stabbings,domestic abuse etc.

I know there are at least a few law enforcement people here. It gotta be stressful on them as well as in the US police are being portrayed in a negative light in the media.

I gotta say that is kind of clever those ladies having someone sign a petition I mean it puts the victim in the perfect position and these ladies have obviously developed this skill. It’s just sad we do this stuff to each other. So many of us view watches as something much more valuable than it’s monetary value. I worked with someone years ago at a restaurant. He had a Rolex Daytona, I didn’t know much about watches back then but liked them. He wasn’t wealthy at all, it was a family heirloom. People associate Rolex and wealth for a reason (marketing) but not everyone who has one is.

Stay safe in England not like it’s great here either.

Well damn, $350 in golf clubs purchased this morning and no young women approached me today. I feel like I was robbed.

Hey, wait a minute -- a young lady sold me the golf clubs. Could this be another part of their scheme?

Yeah, if a young woman tried to hug me, that would definitely be a red flag. Frankly, if one even looked at me, it would be highly suspicious.

This story is quite unusual so deserves a picture
More south west England than southern England.
Be on your guard @nonuffinkbloke !

Well Thankyou @Peemacgee. I think I should be OK mate for 3 reasons.

1) I look a bit mental, and aggressively, chat to myself, out loud, when I'm out and about.

2) I normally tell charity workers to "fakk off out of it!" from a range of 5m.

3) I reckon these, criminals may well be my Peruvian wife, and her mates from Portugal and Ecuador! They seem to like hanging around Bournemouth, near the posh watch shops! 😕

(Yeah... just look at the way the evil basstedz have surrounded me and my Dad's old, brown dial, 105.012-65 Omega Speedmaster Professional! I reckon they set this whole Dorset wedding thing up just to nick my lovely old Speedy! Look at the old bird stood stood next to me! She's even got the knuckle duster ready! ...... AND I'M SUPRISED I TURNED MY BACK ON HER DODGY LOOKING HUSBAND, WHO IS BEHIND ME!... HE'S JUST WAITING FOR HIS CHANCE!...TO BE HONEST, I LET MY GUARD DOWN THERE FOR A BIT) 😲
