Today we had an iphone stolen from the salon. I thought I would post what happened as according to the police other salons were targeted in my area (llandudno/colwyn bay ) by the same men using the same scam.
Two foreign men , neatly dressed, friendly and presentable came into the salon. They looked turkish maybe greek (lived in these places and they reminded me of turkish /greek men, though please note I am NOT saying that turkish or greek men steal etc etc etc , Im just trying to give description so you can be on your guard).
Their english was very very poor and they struggled to make themselves understood. one did all the talking and distracted a staff member, they said they wanted a price list.
The other hung around the nail desk area and stole an iphone that had been placed behind the nail desk out of view, in fact he would have had to lean over to get it and must have seen it placed there as it was out of public view.
they left , saying that their wife would be back for treatment.
they didnt come back of course and now they have my iphone.
Apparently the same scam was used in other salons and I just wanted to make you aware.
being friday it was busy and they are targetting salons ( maybe they see us as a soft target??)
stay safe peeps
