This is for anyone who comes onto my blog to find out about this very common tourist trick- The Roms (Romanian gypsies) are famous for performing this trick on "unsuspecting" tourists.....
What they do is they throw the ring on the ground in front of you and then come up and pick it up and ask if it's yours-- Then, when you say, "No," they continue on with their story--- BLAH BLAH BLAH-- and if you DON'T want to fall for this... you ignore them or walk away... Or, if you'd like a 2 euro souvenir with a story to go along with it... You can take it from them and give them two euros-- Like what my aunt did!!!
**Note- They can usually be spotting "working" near the Seine by the Louvre, at the Jardin de Tuilleries, and Les Champs Elycees... These are areas where I have seen them...
The picture above is my aunt's 2 euro "souvenir!"
