In an ironic twist the Chief of Police of Oslo, Norway, Anstein Gjengedal, had his wallet pickpocketed a few days before he was set to announce a crackdown on pickpocketers.
The chief was on the Oslo Airport train when a group of people bumped into him. Checking his pockets a few minutes later the police chief realized that his wallet was gone.
Looks like that crackdown is timely!
Funny. Irony has its weird places, and this just takes the cake. Although it’s true that anyone could’ve been pickpocketed, it’s funny that a thief had the guts to rob a police chief…

He was on the Oslo Airport train when a group of people bumped into him. Apparently, he was too distracted to realize his wallet was missing until his checked his pockets a few minutes later…We encourage smelling the flowers but not to the point of complete distraction.

That’s funny:)
I’m a norwegian myself, so not that proud of our police;)
