So Jeremy goes up stairs with both girls in tow to the play area and I am getting our order. The line suddenly doubled in size so a McDonald's employee started taking "pre-oders" while folks waited in line- I'm about in the middle of the line and she is taking my order when this older gentleman just out of now where walks straight into me and bumps me with his newspaper. I really don't think anything of it, except "Dude really, its the middle of the line, its not like you didn't see me here". So I go about my business, pay for our orders and then I go to get ketch-up and straws at the condiment bar, when old guy in the suit BUMPS into a second time- this time I feel my wallet shift in my jacket packet- I immediately grab for it and notice that a corner of the older man's newspaper is halfway in my pocket. I push my wallet back down into my fleece pocket and zip it this time. Then he says "Perdon, Perdon" (excuse me, excuse me) Then he stands there and watches me fill up my ketch-up- which I'm already thinking- "Did he just try to lift my wallet out of my fleece?" So I kind of stare at him in bewilderment, which flusters him, he puts down his little ketch-up container and I watch him put the newspaper back on the stand and book it out of there. Which basically did confirm that he tried to steal my wallet. Usually I probably would have tried to say something to him, or an employee but I have a really bad sinus infection today and was starting to run another fever- so I'm sure I looked like the softest target in the restaurant but luckily I felt the "bump & grab" as it was going on. When I got upstairs and told Jeremy he immediately wanted to do something about it but it was too late.
So moral of the story is, beware of old men in suits that randomly keep bumping into you and watch your wallets.
