algrove Posted October 15, 2011 Share #61 Â Posted October 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) So, just to re-cap, never visit Spain or Italy, but if one ignores that advice one should ensure that they carry (along with their Leica of course!) a knife, a taser, a gun and some pepper spray or similar. Â Useful advice. Know any good lawyers to deal with the murder charges? Â Love your melodrama. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

algrove Posted October 15, 2011 Share #62 Â Posted October 15, 2011 I'm really sorry to hear of this incident. 25% unemployment for people under 30 is a sign of really bad times.Glad to hear you are safe. Since I'm from New York, I'm always looking over my shoulder, even in Orange County, California. Â I second that. Eyes are neede in the back of your head. In my 50 years of international travel/living abroad this is only the second time something happened either to me or my wife/girl friend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oysterboy Posted October 15, 2011 Share #63 Â Posted October 15, 2011 Down town Chicago, two weeks ago. A Leica speaker at the Leica events got mugged and they took Mp, M9, Noctilux, 35 summilux, 90 Cron, adn 24 summilux. Â The Leica rep called me yesterday to tell me the story. Â BTW. I am from Spain too (Barcelona) though I live here in the USA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted October 17, 2011 Share #64 Â Posted October 17, 2011 Andy - while not meaning to belittle the distress of what your wife went through, I have to say I'm surprised to read that she was mugged inside a Starbucks? Mugged means robbed with violence or the real threat of violence, ... Â Point taken, I simply used the wrong word (it does happen to non-native speakers, although I do my best to avoid it ). You are quite correct, my wife was 'only' robbed, there was no violence involved. However, there would have been some violence if I had managed to get a hold of the thief. Â Best, Â Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
