Describing his modus operandi, she tweeted: “He came to our table & told us he’s been waiting for his sister & his phone had died, he asked to use my phone. The conversation with the sister sounded legit. And he handed my phone back.
She added: “About 15 minutes later, he seemed very frustrated & told us his sister must still be getting lost. So he asked to use my phone again. He was giving her directions while walking towards the door. A white car pulled up & he left with my phone.
“He had ordered two plates of food & a bottle of wine & his wallet was on the table while he was using my phone. So I didn’t suspect a damn thing. When we checked the wallet, it was empty”.
