I was sitting at my table at Pizza Hut here on Baker Street with my wallet out and my cell phone resting on top of my wallet. I was waiting for the server to come collect my check. My wallet was out because I was paying by Credit Card so as soon as I got the CC back I'd pop it back in my wallet and be on my way.
While waiting for the server to come and collect the check, these 2 spanish kids (one about 15-18 year old and one less than 10) come and the older one asks me if the table next to me is occupied, while the younger one is standing a good 3 feet away from him looking around. I say no and he instructs his brother (speculation) to come and sit there and as soon as they sit the older guy takes the little specials triangular menu off the table and asks me if they have this pizza here and I said yes. The younger guy in the mean time opens up a sheet of a4 size paper and tells me food food. I was under the impression that he wanted me to write what he wanted in english so they could order it.
The younger idiot though gave it away. He slowly moved the paper right above the wallet and the phone and I immediately knew something was up and held on to my phone and wallet with my right hand and grabbed the check and CC with my left. As soon as I did that, they started walking away.
Had they been succesful I'd have lost £200 odd, all ID cards, and my sweet AMEX credit card.
Phew.
