Default Crime in Oliva (NOT)

Whilst sipping coffee in Oliva centre I witnessed a delivery van reverse out from its parking space (the pedestrian crossing) gently into a young lady's car leaving a small dent.

Lady gets out, lots of arm waving, van driver laughs (mistake), lady makes a phone call.

Moments later local police man arrives with stern look on face. Lady retrieves baby from car and points it at everyone to ensure the law is on her side. After five minutes backup arrives in the form of another local plod. They circle the van taking notes. Its clearly serious because moments later another local plod arrives, swiftly followed by another. There are now 4 looking at the van. They all get introduced to the baby. Van driver looks worried. Crowd forming, traffic stopping, waiters dissapear .... I want my bill!!!

I go to the supermarket and 15 minutes later its still going on. Photographs being taken, baby being waved etc etc

Such is the crime wave in Oliva ....... as I walk away a police car approaches ... maybe they'll lock him up forever

I alway's remember when I first came here to live in 1989, and my first port of call for work and living was Gibraltar, good fun in those day's

The smuggler's alway's had a woman with a baby driving the cars backwards and forwards from Gib to Spain with their contraband in and they ever hardly were stopped in those day's

Just goes to show it's still worth having a baby with you in times of trouble

Maybe the people being robbed can`t get an answer from the Police.

Which type of chulo was it as Policia Local don`t have powers to detain criminals in Spain, they have to call the Super Chulo`s, men in Green.

I have never fought a bull, been in an orgy, flown a plane or fathered a son.

So, you are wrong ;-)
