The women in their 20s exposed themselves to the victim as he punched his pin code into an ATM machine in Paris.

As he stared at one, the other then withdrew 300 euros from his account before the pair fled with the money.  “We would advise anyone withdrawing cah from a machine to focus on what they are doing and not allow themselves to be distracted, however attractive the view,” the spokesman added.

Who needs a gun when you've got a nice rack? Question is, is the UK going to ban "dangerous silicone" next? ;D

Should this really even be considered a crime?  Within the confines of a properly licensed establishment, they would simply be strippers.  Technically, he saw the show, he was just temporarily unaware that he had purchased the ticket.  I would consider these ladies to be moonlighting as "street vendors".   ;D

This happened to me.  Many times.  Only it wasn't at the ATM.  The suspect was the gal I was dating.   ;D
