...years ago, at an airport in Milan, while my husband was off getting our rental car, and I was staying with the luggage. I was suddenly surrounded by a very clamorous group of 2-3 women carrying tiny babies, and about 6 noisy small children. The women were stretching out their hands demandingly and shouting at me, and one of the little boys strangely propped a cardboard under my chin. I wasn't frightened but was quite confused. Then a man, running a newstand nearby, came running over shouting at them, shooing them away. I then discovered that the small child, under the cardboard, had managed to unzip my shoulder bag and was well on his way to finding my wallet when the man intervened.
