[QUOTE="J Willhaus, post: 425568, member: 41003"] Yesterday some young Phillipino students were scammed by the women in this report. The boys are part of a school group led by a priest. We had walked with them a bit and came down a hill to find a couple of boys being approached by the women. One woman came up to me and thrust a clipboard in my face. I did sign and remembered the notices posted all along the Camino and shook my head and pushed the clipboard away. One boy (aged about 13) reached in his wallet to give one woman a 5 euro bill and she snatched a 20 from his hand. The boys and we went up the hill and the boys explained what had transpired. The Padre flagged down the Guardia Civil and got in the car with them to find the women while the boys waited at a cafe. He returned to say that they found the women. The officers told the women to return the money which they stuck immediately in their bras and underwear. The officers indicated they could take the women into custody and back to the station for a search by a female officer, but this would take up to half or all the day. In the end the priest elected to drop the complaint so they could continue their pilgrimage. The boy who lost his money was very sad. He asked me why someone would do this. I reassured him that most people on the Camino were good and we encouraged him not to show his money in public again to be safe. This group of young Pilgrims and their leader had just started from Sarria that morning and we were just at the first town that begins with a V. I wish I had been thinking more quickly and herded the kids away before this happened. The priest was leading the main group up the hill as this transpired and did not know it was happening until too late. [/QUOTE]
