Help
Yesterday I played in my local club, we play in a big room in a 4 star hotel, and because we are always between 20 and 35 tables, the room is full. Sometimes guests of the hotel come to kib a bit. We were sitting on table 1 in a corner, my p sat there all the time with the back to the room. Another player, who sat at our table 1 round before came and asked if someone found his purse, and then my p suddenly missed his. He searched and asked loud if someone saw HIS purse (the other man found his in the meantime). A lady came and told my p that she saw 2 men, gentlemen in nice dresses, sitting next table, 1 of them rocked his chair in my partner's direction. My p had his jacket over his chair and his purse was in the bag of the jacket. I saw absolutely nothing but that is normal for me during a tourney. Later some others said that they watched those men, too, and that they had "bad feelings" about them but nobody asked them anything.
The police came and told us that it is a new method: to go to bigger meetings, sit down between others and then take the bags of the ladies or purses out of jackets which hang over the chair.
