Anyone read this article on the BBC website? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6755629.stm

I thought you may find it interesting.

Heres the beginning - click link for full story:

How easy is it to swipe someone's watch from their wrist? As the White House denies George Bush had his timepiece lifted while on walkabout, we take some expert advice.

We all look at signs warning about pickpockets and like to think "not me". Only the naive put their wallets in a back pocket or open bag, inviting it to be lifted.

And yet it seems it is remarkably easy for a magician to lift watches off wrists without being noticed. It's all a question of distraction.

I find 2000 screaming Albanians a fantastic form of misdirection!

Yeah

Bush's watch wasn't stolen:

Always question what the media tells you.

Oh now I'm disapointed, I thought that link was going to be something along the lines of the Mr Bean and the Xmas Turkey sketch.

which only makes me question wether that video is accurate or not

I would have LOVED it if his watch had been stolen. I'm hoping that he was later pickpocketed and his watch was stolen then . For any other Bush haters, did you know that Bush was a male cheerleader at Yale?

I'm guessing your not from Texas then Monker and would have preferred Kerr

Kerry got robbed. This year I'm hoping for Hillary. She's a lot more definite on where she stands on issues. B. Obama is way to vauge about his opinions.
