Default German tourist bag snatch yields hoodie youth 2,000€ in Punta del Hidalgo

Not the most newsworthy nor exciting of stories, but it serves to remind us all to be vigilant .....

La Laguna Policía Local is searching for an individual who snatched a handbag from a tourist strolling along the camino de San Juanito, in the coastal hamlet of Punta del Hidalgo. According to the victims, the bag contained €2.000 ...

Whatever, the bag snatcher was a hooded youth, who approached a group of four, two couples of German tourists. Having grabbed the bag of one of the women, he scarpered through the banana plantations in the area.

Just be careful carrying money here, and be on your guard.

Ok I admit it, i'm a cynic, but my first reaction is 'yeah right'.

2000 euro might be what they're going to claim from their insurance when they get home but was that the amount that was in the bag?

I can't believe that amount and the insurance if any would neither.

I for one would never go walking 2,000 Euros just to show the money the wonderful island of Tenerife.
