The mob

Wow, it's been almost a week. I think what will follow are some short posts about various things that have happened in the last week.

Today on the way into the hospital the team and the rest of the young people stopped by a wood shop. They sell all sorts of wood carving kind of things, and the team was having a field day. The people in the shops were really happy, and so was the pick pocket. Or so he thought.

The one lady on the team had her purse open because she was going to pay for the stuff, and then her husband paid for it, and just then she felt a guy brush her shoulder. She quick looked and saw her wallet gone, but she had lots of stuff in her hands. Christina noticed she was distressed and started chasing the guy.

Soon a mob of 15-20 people formed, attacked the guy, and got the wallet back. Cars were stopping, and a police officer showed up. Out of the fray comes Christina with the wallet. 10 dollars to the mob satisfied them (well, they kept asking for more, but if you gave them 1000 dollars it wouldn't be enough) and all was well. We don't know what happened to the guy.

I didn't see any of this happen, I just heard about it as they were coming back from the mob. I was watching the guys in the back do the carving.
