Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4331351, member: 44"] My mom and dad were shopping in Sicily and my mom her purse over her shoulder. They had separated and my dad glanced over and saw a scooter driving quickly in the direction of my mom. At first he thought “that guy is a nut, he’s going too fast” but then he realized that he was going for my mom‘s purse. He walked quickly over to my mom and lifted the purse off her shoulder holding it just as the guy snatched it and drove by. My dad‘s a pretty big guy and he just whipped his arm back pulling the purse free of my mom and pulled the guy off the scooter. The guy is on the ground a little banged up and sees my dad standing over him and starts saying “No, no, please senore no!” He scrambles up gets a running start on the scooter and then weaves his way down the road. Afterwards my brother-in-law said to my dad that he did look kind of menacing standing over him. And my dad laughed and said, “I just wanted to make sure he was OK.” [/QUOTE]
