Pickpockets

Unfortunately yes. When I was in Spain in 2009 something wet and heavy hit the back of my kilt. A supposedly helpful gentleman appeared and pointed to a large stork which was settling on the roof of a nearby building as being the culprit. He turned my kilt round back to front to show me the stains allegedly caused by bird droppings. He helpfully gave me a bottle of water and tissues to clean the kilt. After he had gone I discovered that the "bird ****" was actually wet sand which he had thrown at me and that while the kilt was turned back to front he had dipped my sporran and made off with some money.

When my wife and I were in Spain (Barcelona) and also in 2009 we had four attacks of the kind you describe. The funny thing: They only happened when my wife and I were walking together and when I was in shorts.

When I was walking on my own and in kilt I never had any bad experiences.

And we didn't loose anything. We everytime refused having these gentlemen's "help".

But two rather expensive poloshirts were ruined by the liquid they sprayed on my back. On the second day I accordingly went to an H&M and bought four cheap poloshirts.
