Subsequent Wickedness
Before she could react, A handsome man came to her rescue
Title: The First thing he noticed is she was alone, the second was the magnificent ring she was wearing.
We read about this type of scam a few years ago in a magazine, may have been either Life or Holiday.
Travelling alone in Europe, a wealthy, designer clad, British female, was waiting for her flight in an airports’ lounge. A gypsyish youth of about twelve came up to her, grabbing her wrist, he spit a mouthful of water onto the sleeve of her satin blouse.
Before she could react, A handsome man gallantly came to her rescue. Called off the youth, who darted away, snickering. The nicely suited gentleman then produced a silky handkerchief began to wipe her sleeve and hand dry. All the while, speaking in a foreign accent, expressing regret on the unkind assault that had occurred upon such a lovely lady. . He stayed long enough to make sure she was okay, and then went along his way, still apologizing profusely for the delinquent youths of his country.
Long after the incident, she realized that the 10,000 dollar sapphire ring she had been wearing was gone. The same finger of the hand that gentleman wiped with such care.
Later she reported the loss only to find the authorities indifferent to her plight. As she recounted her tale, She remembered seeing that same gentleman coming into airports restaurant. She had gone there bite to eat before going to the lounge to wait. He had caught her eye and had bowed as he went past her, heading up to the bar. She had recalled feeling that someone was watching her after that.
Authorities theorized that the gentleman was one of the professional conman, who stalked airports, resorts and hotels, looking to part susceptible victims from their valuables.
After taking down the information, they admonished her for falling for such a transparent scam. Then shooed her off, promising to report developments. As far as we know there were none, and her ring was never recovered.
