Mugging Forest Hill

[Sydney Carton]

A mate of mine was at an ATM in FH and a bloke leaned across saying 'the machine's out of order,' and punched a few buttons, then made off with his card, having presumably noted the number. My pal says it was an incredibly slick sleight of hand and he didn't spot a thing.

Within minutes he had a call from his bank asking if he had just withdrawn £500

perhaps also post this on the SE23.com forum that serves that area too

Was it the ATMs outside Forest Hill station? There are dubious characters who loiter around the ticket machines and ATMs on a daily basis, largely begging.
