This is a true story which happened in a supermarket in San Antonio, Ibiza recently.
A Spanish woman was shopping with her young daughter aged about 3 or 4, the child was running up and down the isles, her mother expecting her to be in the next isle when she got there was suprised not to find her. She looked around and still couldn't find her, so she went over to the cashier and told her her child was missing. Immediately the cashier hit a button and the emegency doors were closed, the Guardia Civil were called and a search of the supermarket ensued. In the toilets they found a Romanian couple with what appeared to be a small boy. The boy was actually the missing girl, they had taken her into the toiled cut her waist length hair short, stuck on an baseball cap and changed her clothes to boys clothes. They were immediatly arrested. The guy broke down and admitted to the Guardia that they had taken the girl to sell for body parts!!!! This is completely true as a friend of mine was in the supermarket at the time and was a witness. Please everyone travelling abroad with young children, keep an eye on them at all times, these people are monsters and have no regard for human life. Take care, be happy, look after your children.

So glad the couple were caught, the B.....ds.!
Makes me wish I could be in a locked room with them alone for 5 minutes.
i.e...Just the 3 of us & my baseball bat.

Hmmm, isn't this another 'urban myth'? If this had indeed happened, would it not have been first page news all over the world just like the 'Madelaine' story? Surely the chief of Guardia would be on the evening news advertising their 'heroic action'. Why is this only whispered between friends on Ibiza and posted on some esoteric internet blog? And if 'Romanians' indeed wanted to kidnap children and sell them for body parts, they could surely find them much closer to home and would not need the trouble of travelling to an isolated island in the Med. Me, a sceptic.
Indeed, you should look after your children but paranoia can be counter-productive.

LJ, must admit I didn't think of it from your angle. I tend to believe the story...I think it's perfectly credible.!
Some of these Romanians are quite "something else".
Couple of years before I left Scotland & moved onto my boat, a Romanian family of 4-5...economic migrants...had been set up nicely in Glasgow by local authority etc, but were being hunted up & down the country by the Police for a shop-lifting spree that lasted for weeks. Thousands of ££££s involved.

Urban Myth !
I wish people would not spread these rumours around the internet.
Yes, the Rumanian's are poor and are now in the EU and I appreciate that there might be some very bad Rumanian's but I can assure you that the majority are good.
Please get your facts right before you publish untrue stories.

I think it just shows how people have come to believe this sort of thing (i did ) the world is becoming a very sorry place when so many accept this can happen

I agree with you on that point but it is like the emails that say "Pass this on to ten others or you will get bad luck".
There are some gullible people out there and the people who perpetuate these silly stories should be made to do Community Service to counter the ill-will that they generate.
Any story that starts by saying " A friend of mine recently heard . . . .etc" or cannot give a precise time or date of an event which would surely have hit the front page of most news channels and papers world wide, will always be found to be pure fiction.
I think I will start a rumour that all Nomads are very bad people and should be locked up . . . . well they have to be bad, don't they!
