"Those guys have the waiter paid off along with the bus boys and they all work as a team."
Interesting. Maybe that's why it went unnoticed by the SS. Only the restaurant workers were nearby.
Yes. However, on the same trip I left my camera in the hotel room in Mexico City when we traveled to the other city and when I came back, the hotel returned it to me! The maid had turned it into the desk!
Could be that. The article doesn't state the circumstances of the situation...had she left it somewhere and it got snatched, or was it on her person and somebody grabbed it? I find it hard to believe that somebody would be ballsy enough to try to snatch a purse right out from under the noses from guys who very clearly are so aware of their surroundings. I would bet that she probably left it in the booth or something and went back to find it and it be gone.
