Bloody minded persistence pays off
Was out with some friends in the earlier part of the noughties when we ended up in Glastonbury's only (it's since been closed) nightclub - Heroes. So large was the establishment that they used mirrors to make it look twice the size if you were too drunk to notice the illusion, which we were.

Anyway we go to get our coats, and a friend (We shall call him T, for that is his first initial) finds his gurners have gone missing during the course of the evening.

Now a lesser man would have acknowledged the error of their ways and been grateful that the staff had simply chosen to pinch said substances rather than call the police, but not our hero.

There is only one person in charge of the cloakroom, and in a feat of bravery he begins to drunkenly break the poor girl's resolve - "look, we both know that you've got them..."

What seems like hours later (but is actually 20 about minutes) the girl gives in and returns the goods. If my memory serves me correctly she told him to fuck off as she did so.

Ha ha ha ha ha
You went to Heroes...................FPMSL
Now my experience of nightclubs is fairly limited as i hate the bloody places.
But I've been in there twice ( a private do & a performance of the Vagina Monologues)
Both times people have had items missing from their belongings but just slunk out without complaining.
A claustrophobic ( and as you say mirror filled ) dingy little hole

How stupid do you have to be
To steal things from the coats that you have expressly been paid to guard? It's like hanging a sign around your neck saying "it was me!"

Heroes! Hah, there's a name from the past
Good story too. Have a click.

Doubt you'd have got the drugs back had you been in Maximes in Street instead.

Yay
naive i suppose but i had no idea there would be locals lurking on b3ta! Maximes? it's 'Envy' now keep up with the times! (and just like when it was Maximes you'd be lucky to even get the coat back :D)
