Strange Man

id would of told him i was a police officer and seen how he reacted

Guy in the pub did that once - wee fella in with a bag of pirate DVDs  - offers them to a guy who pulled a works pass with his photo - said he was from the trading standards. Wee fella legs it, leaving the bag of DVDs which were shared round the pub 

I was in a corals once and these two old boys started having a little ruck, nothing major.
At which point this rather short guy came running up announcing that he was an off duty police officer and that they were to stop at once.
All of a suuden this scottish guy,that appeard to be a bit drunk, came running over shouting"i hate old bill" and clumped him square on thw jaw.
he ran out and the police officer stayed down for about ten mins!!!

LOL - in my local in Anderston a barmaid was going out with a cop (which she had to keep quiet), she was working one night when a fight started. Hero boyfriend pulled the warrant card & shouted at them to stop, he was the police... the boys stopped fighting & he got a doing.

Its all one form or other of the motorway service station gangs that have been going around for years. Over my time of travelling the country I have been offered....

watches (the old trick of showing the posh add for that watch brand in the posh car magazine)
Hifi speakers
fridge freezers
leather jackets
camcorders
vodka


it is true that con artists pick on people who are most likely to be a little bit dishonest themseleves.

of course I never bought any of that stuff....
