Family Of Four Walks Single File On Vacation To Outsmart Backpack Thieves
BOEBLINGEN, GERMANY — On vacation in Europe this week, the Steven Blake family reportedly beat the odds by successfully crossing the cobblestone streets of Boeblingen without having their backpacks stolen, thanks to their clever adoption of a single-file walking formation.
"In dangerous environments like pedestrian plazas and zebra crossings, it's crucial to take precautions to protect our belongings," said Mr. Blake while leading his wife and two children up Stoffelberg Hill for a better view of Boeblingen's charming skyline. "Walking in single file means if anyone tries to snatch our backpacks, we’ll instantly transform into a human crocodile, ready to strike back with the ferocity of a Florida alligator!"
Witnesses on the street were impressed by the family's unique anti-theft strategy. "That's a tight formation!" remarked Maria Fritze while browsing for faux lederhosen, eyeing the backpacked family with admiration. "Most tourists just get all their stuff stolen. Not these backpacked warriors!"
Local thieves were spotted slinking away in defeat. “It’s impossible to penetrate the single-file crocodile!” lamented a dejected Christoph Schreiber, a would-be pickpocket.
During their vacation, Mr. Blake roamed Europe in his human-crocodile formation, navigating the streets with the precision of an infrared heat-seeking missile, and they enjoyed similarly successful results.
At publishing time, Mr. Blake had assured his wife that the children were safe, as they were now off at summer camp, also walking single file with all the other tiny campers — safety in numbers, after all!
