	it's disgusting, these people need to get a job. A few years ago i was shopping in Glasgow city centre, the streets were mobbed, a boy passed me holding his jacket funny, i was just about to comment to my husband when my bag felt light, i turned round to see a young girl holding my purse, i grabbed it back and she blamed it on the boy, saying she took it from him, i let her go 'cos i was so shocked but she was working with the boy, his jacket was "funny" 'cos he was waiting to conceal the purse. even if they had got away with it there was only a few pounds in it as i had already bought the outfit i went up for. i know i was lucky but it was a horrible experience.
