Last year, here in Wiesbaden, just about every month.....we had a fake police episode to occur. Most of these involved tourists as the victims. Today, I noted an event from the weekend, where the fake cops appeared and took on a German local gal.
So this unfolds at a Aral gas station in town (one that I've been to on numerous times) near 7 PM.
The 59-year old German gal was approached by guy number one....asking her if she'd just watch his suitcase for five minutes while he went to the bathroom. Note, he had an accent.
He comes back and points to the floor.....where a wad of Euro lays (no one says how much but it's probably into the hundreds). He asked about it....as though it's NOT his. Then he takes the money and leaves.
Minutes pass, and guy number two comes......asking about the lost money as if it was his. He's angry and getting all hyper that he lost his money. Minutes go by.
Then two guys enter (with accents) and badges....claiming to be cops. They want to see her purse. She allows this. They ask questions and then leave.
She returns home, and finds two-thousand Euro gone from the purse.
Four guys involved in this.....all with accents, and she never suspected anything phoney.
