TWO shop owners reported two foreigners stole more than 5,000 yuan (US$605) from them while changing money.A Mr. Dong, who runs a shop in Bao’an District, told the Shenzhen Economic Daily that two white men, one of about 1.9 meters high and another around 1.6 meters, bought a pair of gloves for two yuan at Dong’s shop at around 6 p.m. Saturday. Speaking awkward Chinese, the short man then asked Dong to give them 100 yuan for small change.Dong gave the men a note from a bundle of cash worth about 5,000 yuan. The short man said he suspected the note was a fake and the bundle could contain more fake money.Totally unguarded, Dong gave him the whole bundle. After a one-minute check, the foreigners gave back the notes saying they were genuine. After they left, Dong counted the bundle and found 2,400 yuan was gone. A Mr. Lai, who owns a computer store in Huaqiang Road North, also told the Daily that a tall and a short white man stole 2,700 yuan Sunday using similar tactics. Lai described the tall man as about 1.85 meters tall and around 50 years old, and the short man, in his 20s, about 1.6 meters high.The pair also bought a small article first and then asked Lai to give them a 100-yuan note for small change. The two men possibly used magic tricks to slip 27 100-yuan notes into their pockets while examining the money, Lai said.The Daily did not say whether the two shop owners had reported the thefts to police
