Maybe 10-15 years back,can’t remember exactly when as it was a long time ago I saw a guy caught outside a store in Hounslow,he was one of a group of Eastern Europeans who had been in nicking,5 or 6 lads,Asian security guard stood beside the English manager and I heard the manager explaining to the shoplifter that he had to pay for goods before exiting the store,as if he didn’t know ffs,the thieves walked off sniggering.
Been in London all day and actually watched a Syrian looking type stop and stare at a tourist who was standing on the side of the pavement outside a BDC counting a bundle
