We're walking down the street and suddenly a man stoops and "picks up" a gold (coloured) ring to ask if I have dropped it. I know it's not mine – I don't wear jewellery. But he continues and almost talks me into keeping it, although I am sure there is some kind of catch that he didn't quite get to that would have removed some of the weight from my wallet. We walked away.
Literally moments later, a woman made the same move. By now I was completely jaded and onto her and we just kept walking. But it made me think of what should have been inscribed on the inside of the ring:
One ring to scam them all,
One ring to fool them,
One ring to reel them in
and in the confusion rob them.

Thanks! A little less sinister than I thought, but good to know. Mine were in a whole different area, too: Place de la Madeleine.
