Kudos today go to my mate Dan on hols in Beunos Aires Argentina. Dan is a wirey red head mate who if you know personally would totally understand this story in advance. I have seen him beat two bouncers up who were spoiling for a fight even after we left the premises! No one who fucks with Dan the first time ever makes the same mistake again! So anywho with his blessing here's the post:

Robbed in Buenos Aires! So ... I am standing on the main road in the heart of Buenos Aires when a bird decides to do it's thing all over my singlet and bag, it is everywhere, I am absolutely covered! I take off my singlet and put my bag down and start cleaning it off, this random guy starts to help me clean it up. As i am cleaning my singlet, I look down, my bag is gone! Inside was my camera, all my money, keycards, everything. Then, it all makes sense, this guy who is helping me has actually poured something like shaving cream all over me and when I stop to clean it all off, i put my bag down, and his mate runs passed, snatches my bag and runs off in to the crowd. Now, the road I am standing on has 15 lanes of traffic, the guy that has run off with my bag has already run through all 15 lanes of traffic and in to the crowd. I spot him in the distance running through the crowd, I ditch my thongs and singlet in the middle of the street and absolutely leg it after him through the streets of Buenos Aires, I have never run so fast in my life! Here i am, dodging and weaving my way through Buenos Aires traffic and crowds wearing nothing but a pair of shorts, like a game of chicken on Atari. The guy that has my bag looks over his shoulder and in a heartbeat I am all over him, he throws my bag to the ground and runs off in to the crowd. Got it!!! He had already started to open my bag and was attempting to take my camera and money out but luckily I'm pretty quick on my feet, he didn't have a chance to take anything. A little bit naive on my behalf but I'll learn for next time. Happy I didn't lose anything in the end!
