3704 Only in Naples!!

I've just read this..

Tourists checking into hotels in Naples this summer are to receive an unusual gift as part of an innovative scheme to protect visitors from gangs of "Rolex-snatchers". Every guest will find a cheap plastic watch by their beds emblazoned with a motif of either a pizza or Mount Vesuvius.

Attached to the watch will be a piece of paper saying: "Leave your Rolex in the hotel safe, and keep track of your holiday time with this simple sign of welcome."

It is hoped that the tackiness of the watch, the centrepiece of a programme dubbed "Operation Bluff the Bandits", will deter the city's myriad bag snatchers and pickpockets. Authorities in Naples have been engaged in a long-term battle against the city's hordes of delinquents and petty criminals.

"Since you cannot buy them in the shops, these watches could end up becoming the city's number one souvenir," the Neapolitan daily newspaper Il Mattino wrote.

The very next day, Il Mattino reported the first delivery of a lorry load of these watches had been stolen somewhere between Piazza Garibaldi and Poggioreale! :D :p :D
