This is a story that happened in Spain on the 29th May 2016. My mate Keith Blake was travelling with his wife Sally and he sent me this on Facebook. They were attacked by two young men.

" We have felt safe in Spain so far, having only seen one incident of pick pockets on the Metro. But today we were targeted.

We had been shopping and stopped at a little bar for a rest and a wine on the way home.
We then walked through The Ravel to the top end of our street, but just before we got there we were approached from behind by two young blokes offering discount tickets. I was carrying my camera in one hand and the shopping bags in the other but one of them thrust a card at me and I grabbed it.

He then grabbed me and swung his body around me, lifting my wallet from deep in my front pocket. In one move he swung around, still holding on to me and passed it to his mate.

This is where they came unstuck.

Sally was beside me and immediately put the second guy in a headlock, and screamed "Thief, Thief!".

I flung the first guy off me and grabbed my wallet out of the hands of the guy in the headlock. No. 1 thief scurried off and so did No 2 when Sally released her grip.
 
People came running to see if we were alright, but they should have been more concerned for the two would be thieves.
​

Never pick on two grey haired Aussies, especially when one is Super Sally! Lesson learned for two young tearaways!!
