St.Paul's

I only took 3 pictures today.

At lunch I wandered down past St.Paul's and had a sit on a wall where I took this shot. I had noticed a girl taking some pictures with a white Nikon 1 along with her fella; they were only a couple of metres away.

Next thing I knew while I was reviewing my shot the girl came over to me looking severely distressed and asking whether I had seen someone picking up a brown bag. I asked what happened to the bloke she was with and she told me she was alone.

The fella I had thought she was with had been stood next to her waiting for her to become pre-occupied with her pictures, picked up her bag and legged it.

In broad daylight in the middle of a busy street, I couldn't believe it had happened right in front of me and all I had seen was someone in my peripheral vision walking off like he hadn't a care in the world.

I felt so sorry for her she was close to tears as she ran off in the direction he went.

I didn't feel like taking any more photos after that.
