Strangely again in Hong Kong, Kowloon. I had the afternoon off work and someone back at work asked if I could get them a fake watch. So browsing some shops after a walk around Kowloon park someone asked if I wanted a fake watch, yes actually. Followed them to their shop, actually not a shop and got shown the watches then eventually told the price which was way more than expected. I had to assert my self quite clearly and politely to back out of that one and left feeling very stupid for getting into that position, never again...
I did get mugged in Llandudno in Wales, walking down the pier I was struck from behind and had my ice cream stolen by a huge seagull !!! took the whole thing cone and ice. To this day both experiences have haunted me

Had some "fun" experiences when out in Africa. Always adhere to the first rule of the un-armed man

Drugged - found a really nice 110 at a specialist dealer with an attractive blond sales lady.
Mugged - bought it and found out the place was owned and run by her pikey other half. Two years on the car is sorted and ace, & I got loads of money back off the credit card co after much argument, but it was a two year hang over. |

That sucks ickle. At least it's sorted now though and you've got a fab 110.
I'm glad I only lost the ticket last night - the customer only gave me it after I mentioned I wasn't going because I know nothing about rugby -"have a day out on me" he said, "hope you enjoy yourself"... Easy come, easy go 
Still not sure if I was drugged or mugged - they could have just threatened me or nicked everything I had... Very weird. Anyway, go on Musketeer... What's the rule? @tig self drugging doesn't count  2011 Defender 90 SW

In certain/most/some parts of Africa you would be silly to wander round without a gun. However, night time hong kong I'd rather have a big mate! Good things come to the wild and free |

Schoolboy error getting in a cab with 2 blokes I don't know - cant believe I did it now.
Big mate would have been very useful - mostly by telling me to go to bed and not be a muppet... Reference Africa - this month I've been in Angola,ghana and Nigeria. My company say they won't insure us for stepping outside the hotel  2011 Defender 90 SW

Hong Kong - probably one of the safer cities to wander around at night. However it is 17 years since I was there. Getting into a cab with two people you've never met before - wouldn't do that in Dorset. You were lucky. Question is would you have used your ticket? HK 7's not to be missed given the opportunity.
At least your arse is intact.  Rich

Thats not stupid Alpslandy. There are always chancers who will take advantage of genuine goodwill for their own ends
Years ago when working in the USA I got touted at a cab office (in Philadelphia) by a guy in a van who offered to take me to my destination for $10 - normal fare would have been $30. We had a great chat - he dropped me off and all was well until I later heard that someone matching his description was done for robbery and assault by touting tourists in a van ! Can't believe how wet behind the ears I was but everything always looks clearcut with hindsight |

Had a similar experience, with alcohol and drinks bought, but all still intact. No phone gone missing, money still there. Woke up on the floor on my hotel lobby (by the sea) totally soaking wet, head to foot. Weird!
Did have someone try to mug me at the cash point once, as I put in my number he told me to withdraw £500, so I said to him have a closer look at the screen (I was a student so totally overdrawn), as he did i imprinted the keypad on the scrotes head. Thats just given me the twitches thinking about it again. I hate chavs! look after yourself You cant polish a turd!
