THIS IS A STICKUP

This evening, on my way to the opera, I went into a store because I thought they sold airline tickets. I spoke with a most pleasant woman, who told me they didn't sell tickets. I believe they booked tours or some related stuff.

An aside. Ever since I was robbed in Tallinn, I have started keeping my wallet and my passport in the inside, zippered pockets of my jacket. Believe me, it is very inconvenient to remove and replace them.

After I left the store, it occurred to me that all the time I had been inside, my right hand was inside my jacket.

I returned to tell her that my hand had been holding my wallet, which I showed her. I simply didn't want her to think that a guy had left all the way from Jamaica to rob her.
