One scam I encountered- a UK bloke (or one with a convincing English
accent) approached me outside Barcelona airport with a sob story about
needing exactly 37 euro to get back to the UK.

Its not crime, but I was surprised that one of the living statues
in Palma was from Essex.

Those friggin living statues... what gives??? They pop up everywhere,
and all look the same! No donation from me, I demand a little more
than that...

You donate to anyone performing on the street? My partner has done it
for 'unusual' things, such as the asian pianist murdering various
classics on an out of tune upright piano on a Viennest street.
