Mustard bandit back again in Soriana

I just saw this on another chat board. They do this on the streets also so
beware if someone points out some mess on your clothes and get away from them:

"My husband was at Soriana today, shopping for milk, at the back of the store.
He was approached by a woman who asked him something in Spanish. When he got
through to her that he didn't speak Spanish and she moved on, a man on his other
side called his attention to a mustard-y mess all over his pants. Another man
appeared, offering to help and followed Don into the bathroom.
Don said that he wasn't in the bathroom 30 seconds when he realized that someone
was getting into the pocket on his cargo pants that contained his wallet. He
grabbed the guys wrist, made him drop the wallet, and shoved him into a stall.
Perp #1 fled and Don let #2 go so he could work on his pants. The pocket on the
pants was buttoned, so the guy was skilled enough to get it open and get the
wallet out.

The incident was reported to Soriana management, who appeared unconcerned."

I carry a throw away wallet with a few belize dollars in it and old library cards and such. This is an old
trick from NYC kinda like the cops carrying a throw away gun. This works better than locks and chains
as it distracts them from your real money and I also leave a message inside the wallet for them that
surely must make there day!! Fight back folks don't be stupid you don't need to carry all that stuff
anyway 95% of the time. Also if they won't do anything about the crooks send a letter to Soriana
telling them you are going to shop at Wal-mart and you are going to tell all the gringoes and gringas
to do the same. Corporate hates letters like that and I know because I use to get handed them and
told to fix the problem when I worked. Until Sorianna cares about the problem it will continue.
