To be technical a victim of theft.
We went to Elche , the home of 1000 shoe outlets and we didn"t buy any!!!!!
Picnic on a beach in Alicante. Sam says " I think someone "s taken something out of the car " We saw a lad walking away and get into a car at which time we saw a handbag. The car sped off and Julie was shouting at them as I threw stones.
Dimwits.
They could not get off the beach and had to turn round. They threw the bag with everything in it out, Julie threw a boulder on the bonnet as it sped past and I threw with all my hate a large stone straight through the passenger window which was open. They were ducking down and so I can only hope I got one of them in the face.
( reasonable force as in my confusion I thought they had kidnapped Daisy )
Thanks to the Spanish fisherman who came to help.
No thanks to the Dutch free campers who ran into their two motorhomes and drove off so incredibly quickly.

Result. 1) Baddies 0 Us 1
2) 1000 shoe shops and not one pair bought

Moral I thought I knew all the tricks and then I forgot.

We haven"t got sat nav so we only found 200. Maybe if we could have put in all the postal codes we could have found some more and maybe found a pair that fitted.
Another result.
Julie says that dropping a boulder on a thieving car is much more fun than buying shoes. At least for tonight !


PS We have heard a rumour about a trip to the sun .

Hi Shane

Bit of a sweeping statement there.
I know it happened in Spain but we've been given no evidence that the robbers were Spanish.

Hi folks,

Glad to hear that everyone is okay........ other than the recipient of a large stone delivered via the open car window. Very Happy

I am sorry to hear of your Dutch neighbour's reactions Mad Mad Mad , but pleased to hear that assistance was forthcoming from your Spanish hosts.

As for the 200 shoe outlets that you did manage to find.....I have no sympathy whatsoever. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Jock

Hi Billy
Glad to hear that you are all OK and that you managed to retrieve your property, well done on the "affirmative action front" too Laughing Laughing
Do be careful though, some of these toerags are not averse to carrying weapons mate and it could get ugly very quickly.....
Anyway congratulations for this time mate.

Keith

Your right Gillian... I retract my statement and replace it with:

Unknown nationality robbing barstools
