  Cautionary tale.
  
  Daughter, boyfriend and grandson visited this w/e.
  
  My carer went with them to Deal railway station since they had a few bags to carry.
  
  Sitting waiting for train, a child c./4/5 years old comes up to them in tears trying to take their hands/put arms around them.
  
  'Father' arrives and said they are from Ukraine and son is disturbed by all the stuff on the news and coaxes child away.
  
  Only later daughter notices one of their bags is missing.
  
  Do watch out. Typical distraction theft. Used to be Romanians with child on tube. A new twist using events in Ukraine to put you off your guard.
  
  Fagin lives.

  Nope. Tried GoogleTranslate. Still doesn't make sense.

  Moral is...look after your Bags at all times...
  
  A child staggering off with a bag might be noticed.

  Tote bag with children's books and three pairs of (rather expensive) sunglasses only thank goodness.
  
  I'll ignore the last comment. Uncalled for.
