Oh and taking lots of money from one of the most notorious conmen in Brtisih Gambling cricles today as well! You have to get up very early in the morning to catch me out!


Andy, I would really love to hear more details about both these things!

Guy nicked a watch from a customer who was "tired and emotional" last week. Came back into the shop yesterday so I called the cops. 3 hours later when they arrived, he'd gone. We were reviewing the CCTV footage when they asked if I would recognise him again at which point he walked past the shop so I said "there he is" and they gave chase and actually said "you're nicked!"

The second guy is, as I said, very well known by betting shop staff. If you ever want to scare staff just tell them that you think you saw Barry Conway or Kenny Envers in another shop. They tend to wear a lot of disguises and rely oj the high turnover rate of staff in most bookies to get away with their actions. I can't go into their M.O. For obvious reasons but he was trying to do me out of about £400. There are 4 bookies in the local area and it takes him about 3 minutes so that's £1600 in 15 minutes. Then he's off to the next area which in London is never too far away. On a good day he can probably get away with between £10-30K a day! As I said though you have to get up very early in the morning to catch me out. I used to be a bit of a blagger myself so I know what to look out for even if I had no idea who he was.

I'm great me!

But was it done in the style of gene hunt.

Between £10 and 30k a day :o I'm in the wrong line of work it would seem

It does depend on the size of the Bottle though!

If full size then that is very good going, and not really a problem, more of an opportunity for a solution, you Nazi !

I agree LOL 8)
