Looky Looky's

A friend of mine had a brand new I phone cut from his jeans pocket with a knife. Didnt help that he fell asleep in a bar in the west end when it happened:roll:
 
I have had some good / funny banter with the Lookies over the years.

Anyone who has been to Jamaica (and I'm sure other parts of the world) will know what a real hawker is like, makes the Ibiza variant appear very lame.

Nb: The logic of my post is that not all you see being sold by these beach guys might be fake but actually items they pickpocket from unsuspecting tourists:twisted: before selling them on the cheap.

Yes, you are suspecting the looky to be the pickpockets without seeing it happen.
 
99% of the lookylookys from ibiza are definitely no pickpockets -
this is an "eastern-european" speciality @ ibiza
since the opening of the "iron curtain" :idea:

ok, we have the neapolitan rolexgang, too, but probably only a few blokes :p

You never see them on Formentera. Maybe they can't afford the ferry!

Actually, have any Formenteraphiles ever seen any beach-sellers?

I remember one once at Cala Saona. He was wearing an ASDA polo shirt.

I don't mean Asda George, it was an actual green ASDA polo as one by people on the tills.

He may or may not have been tapping his back pocket as he moved down the beach with his snidey Pacha CDs.

I bought a "Breitling" watch off a luvly jubbly in Majorca once. I ended up giving it to my son. He was in the Army and went to Kenya on exercise. He swapped the watch for a huge carved lion. I would have preferred cash because the lion takes up quite a bit of space in our house. I wonder if the fella shows off his "Breitling" watch to all his mates? I wonder if they tell him he's been done?
 
I remember on my mates first visit to the island , he was amazed at how the "looky lookies" could make a living allowing them to stay on the island JUST by selling sunglasses!. I pointed out they were also the same people who say "Charlie , E" of an evening and the same people who were providing "security" for the very scary skanky "hookers" (don't be shyyyy , sugar, sugar). Reports were also rife that if a person did decide to indulge in a "hooker", when they went to a quiet place they would be robbed of cash, cards watches etc.
