Later, (back to Calatayud time), during one of the many free hours of my days and weeks, I was thinking of ways I could trick the thieves while "in the act."
My trick goes like this..
Confused looking Americana, chattin' with her friends on the metro, wearing a(n empty) backpack, perhaps unfolding a map of the city...
Out of no where, this seemingly normal looking Spaniard is screeching and hollering and everyone else on the crowded metro is definitely irritated because he's bumping into women and children and business men with newspapers, THEN, as the crowd clears and the metro is obviously coming to a stop because, after he stole your wallet and i-pod he was most certainly planning to jump off at the next station...wearily some folks brace themselves to exit if these damn doors ever open! The man's face is turning red and he's holding his wrist, he looks like he's in pain...The doors finally open at the 3rd stop on the Red Line and on the ground, where the hootin' and hollerin' (injured?) thief stood as he reached his greedy hands into your Jansport backpack was...a gigantic mouse trap.
My flatmates humored me and laughed at my scheme, but Emily suggested... why not just fill your backpack with tiny particles of glitter?
She's right.. Way less of a chance I'd accidentally bump someone and set the mouse trap off, if not reach in there myself and really screw up my plan. With glitter, it's way easier, probably cheaper, millions times prettier plus everyone could go decorated to work and school, and in the end, it's just going to turn into an underground fiesta! Stuck on the metro with 200 close friends, celebrating the failure of another Euro-thief...So who's with me? And who's bringing the boom box to blast MIKA when the glitter party starts?
WHO LOVES SPARKLES??
