I've just read an article written by a woman who was out for dinner in a restaurant in London last night. They hadn't been eating long when the looters arrived. Looters? In a restaurant? She had to hand over her engagement and wedding rings....before the kitchen staff came to the rescue with rolling pins, fry baskets and other kitchen tools!
If you wrote this for a film script it would be laughable....
Here's the link if you want to read it for yourself:

Just one small story among hundreds out there.
And go the 'cleanup crew' too! They have my support (from behind my computer screen)! It just goes to show, you can take their rings and their flat screen TV's, but you can't take their spirit!
