LOL. Reminds me, I was in NO with a group attending a conference, and was wearing a pair of cowboy boots. Various groups of 3 or 4 people kept coming up to me making comments like hey nice boots, and saying betcha I can know where you got them boots.

I always just smiled and said, Thanks anyway, but I do not wish to play. Everyone in the group was wondering what was going on.

A cop finally told us it was a trick question and scam where they would say you bought them, and then claim they won the bet.

Do you think it was a crime of opportunity then?

The city has always been violent but I wonder where the police were now that the city is so much smaller and easier to protect.
