A protest against Gypsies of Honda Accord magnificence
I just found this as a contribution to a travel blog of a major Australian newspaper.

My 81-year-old dad and I were on the Paris Metro in October, 2010, when a group of three gypsies surrounded us and managed to get dad's wallet that was in his front pocket. They got off the train before it left the platform. I realized what the little $#%^@#@ had done and managed to force the train doors back open before they could be fully closed. The gypsies were still on the platform thinking they had got away with it. I took one leap out of the carriage and grabbed one and quickly frisked her. She yelled out down the platform and I thought she was telling the others to run but, remarkably, they came back. The 13-year-old gypsy boy dropped dad's wallet on the ground and I grabbed the kid, dragged him across the platform and almost threw him through a wall then threatened some serious violence that involved ripping his throat out and some swear words for good measure. The look on his face was of shear terror and even if he didn't understand a word I was saying he got the point. I threw him down the platform and then turned to dad and apologized for my swearing. We then got on the next train and left. Great travel story for my dad to tell. No doubt the gypsies just found their next victim. It probably is a numbers game for them.

Length, at least two Honda's end to end.
