Joe Duffy is to blame here for highlighting this without any proof or whatnot.

The Insurance won't pay compo because kidnap at gunpoint was not included in the policy. Go figure.

As was ever other news outlet that published the story, the journal, the mirror, the independent and others. It seems journalists aren’t capable of doing a bit of research before publishing a story. I suppose it doesn’t matter once it’s a sensational headline.

There was a few tourists done by the cops in brazil for making up robberies iirc. Looking for a quick payout from the insurance industry to keep the good times going!

Was that Ryan Lochte and co. during the Rio Olympics? They were charged with making false reports, but the case was later dismissed.

Yeah and freeze to death. And instead of being robbed by Roma you get robbed by hoteliers and publicans in Ireland.

I have been on 'the strip' in Albufeira a few times. It doesn't strike you as the kind of place you would get kidnapped from, which makes this case a bit more unusual.

I was only there once....on my own. Walked up the strip and noticed a guy following me. I ducked in somewhere and lost him but Ive no doubt I was being targeted for mugging or whatnot.

A sketchy sketch artist

Jaysus! It appears that George Harrison is the culprit.

Judging by the clothes and haircut, back in the 1970's before any of them were born.

Similiar thing happening to countless Left Wing bloggers and backpackers hiking across the Middle East and Africa.

Notice how nearly all of these Left Wing backpackers post on social media on how "the world is one and all we need to do to get along is to accept and love one another and Iam going to prove how true this is". :rolleyes:
