On a cold, wintry day in mid 1979 I was working at a car radio joint. We did sales, repair and installation of car radios and I was the one doing the repairs.
In walked two people wearing overcoats. Jim, the salesman, scenting a mark, launched into a long spiel extolling the virtues of the latest cassette player. He really seemed to be making progress with the first guy, to the extent that, though he was unable right now to strike a deal he was willing to leave his name, address and phone number for later contact.
A few minutes after they left we noticed that the latest cassette player display model was missing!
A quick though not hopeful phone call netted success! And the police were dispatched to the address.
I can imagine the scene a minute after that phone call. The second guy archly opening his overcoat to reveal a stolen cassette player. And the first guy remonstrating 'why didn't you tell me you'd nicked it!'.
Idiots!
