Chief of Police Too Busy Smelling Flowers to Notice Pick Pocketer

Posted on June 19th, 2007 by Jim

Odd planet, the place to go for odd up to the minute news had a great post about the Chief of Police in Oslo, Norway losing his wallet to a couple of pick pockets.  He was on the Oslo Airport train when a group of people bumped into him.  Apparently, he was too distracted to realize his wallet was missing until his checked his pockets a few minutes later.We encourage smelling the flowers but not to the point of complete distraction.

What is even better about this is ironically the pick pocketing occured a few days before the chief had planned a crack down on pick pocketing in Oslo!  So when another pick pocket came along he was in second place, referred to as an OLSO ran (as in ALSO ran - Weh-hey!) Credit card anyone?

    I’ve left my wallet on the a bar in Budapest that went walk abouts. Partly my fault for being far from sober at the time. I rarely carry one with the lot in these days as a just in case.

    Did the same but in London - on the cistern of the toilet. Silly me.

    You guys need to wear a fanny pack, or bum bag as I understand you euros call them. Anyway that strappy wallet that goes around ya waist.

    I managed a ‘fanny pack’ over the weekend. It was a very tight fit to say the least. I rarely have a use for the strappy thingy- only if I’m stressed or Top Gear is on and I can’t be bothered.
