I almost forgot about this... I jumped on a bus from Princes Street up to the Cameo. Just after the bus moved away from the stop, I saw a guy walking along the other side of the road and drop his wallet. He bought something from a stall and realised he'd dropped his wallet, so started retracing his steps. Meanwhile, another guy saw the first guy drop his wallet, waited until he was ten feet away, swiped his wallet from the pavement and marched off - right past the guy who dropped his wallet. I then saw him watching the first guy, as he frantically ran back to try and find his wallet.

I was SO angry - partly at myself for not getting off the bus and running to tell the guy what had happened, but more at the second guy. People like that truly just make me SO ... disappointed. What goes around often comes around - that boy will get what he deserves one day... I called the police, to say that if the guy needed a witness, then I saw the whole thing, so I did at least make some attempt to help. Life...
