Shoplifters vs. Retailers: “The rights of the both”, a funny opposition between the parties described in a book by security management consultant. Some introduce this book as a must to prevent theft losses, the others consider it to be a shoplifter’s guide. The books seems to be an enjoyable reading.

I don’t know if you shop at Wal-Mart, but this may be useful to know. I am posting this to warn you of something that happened to me, as I have become a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. This happened to me and it could happen to you.

Here’s how the scam works: Two seriously good looking 18-year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping in the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield, with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy t-shirts. It is impossible not to look.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say “No” and instead ask you for a ride to another Wal-Mart. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen last Tuesday, Wednesday, twice on Thursday, again on
Saturday, and also yesterday.

Stay safe, it’s a real jungle out there…

Basically it’s an offtopic here, but the passage is great!

Sometimes I think that Google has one developer working on GoogleTalk project. It’s very probably untrue but how far from true? I would be really surprised if they have more than 10 people pushing it.
