These guys would be better off stealing a couple of lawn mowers and starting a landscaping business.

digital paradise I still have 8 digits left ![]() More info | Aug 17, 2013 11:56 | #11 Remind me not to travel to Russia. That can happen anywhere. Swarm muggings happen all the time and many of the groups are kids. That really sucked though. I'm really careful when I travel. I'm always conscience of my surroundings particularly when some is standing beside me at a viewpoint when there is lots of space around which does make it a little tiring. Image Editing OK
