    There seems to be a crook around Abbey street in Dublin that frequents the bookmakers in the area - Hackett's, Ladbrokes etc. He is trying to steal from other punters, has anyone encountered this guy? He claims he is the son of a leading bookie in Ireland, and that his family (Mulholland) has 60 pubs in Dublin. He will then tell you that such a horse is set up for a race and that he can get you the best odds, but he finds a way to disappear with your money. You will hear him placing (probably fictitious) bets of 500 and 1000 over his mobile.

    Thats John, he's an apprentice wallet inspector. I'm the full time one and back from my holidays so in future just hand over your wallet to me and I'll take it from there.

    Not to worry: the striped jumper, swag sack and crowbar will give him away.
