Tourists beware!

Warning! Up and down Fifth Avenue roving gangs of smartly dressed rogues are pulling the old snowball-in-the-handbag trick on unsuspecting visitors! The mere sight of stylish luggage in the hands of anyone but themselves drives these jealous dandies to vile acts of snow-based vandalism!

"What ho?"

Thankfully, disaster was averted when this particular scheming fop was scuppered mid-dip. Hopefully the gentleman at the front was using his pocket-phone to alert the constabulary.

Keep alert! These handsome bounders will surely strike again!

See this photo large to see if you can find more pocket-phones.

This photo is unusual as there are four people and only one pocket-phone.

A young man ignores the tempting offers made by the suspicious looking gent to his right.
