Spray Mud in BA
 
We encountered spray mud around 6:00PM of Sunday.
We were toward the Microcentro, crossed by the signal of Av.9 de Julio of two degrees after Teatro Colo'n under construction had been seen, and were called by two suspicious people(Men&Wemen) in the place in which it had turned to the left in the Main Street.
I felt the feeling from which the water-soluble substance of something was put on the head.
It came in contact with our body by English and Jaschar to the effect wiped off because two suspicious people approached immediately after that, and Toricso was lucky.
They prepared the water of the PET bottle and the tissue paper, and touched the jacket and the pair of trousers caring none.
I noticed the burglar at once, and drove them away.
The jacket and the pair of trousers are polluted with the solvent of the water solubility though it does fortunately, and the purse of the pocket was safe.
The cleaning has not been improved with soap and the shampoo in the bathroom at the hotel though tried.
After all, the bristletail remains. :mad:

I want you to teach these burglars' generation places, the patterns, and hows,
etc. to aim.

Hi Tyorr-- very glad to read that you saw this coming and acted accordingly... sorry about your clothes though. Street theft is unfortunatetly an issue in Buenos Aires, and most targets are visitors. This is a sad situation and I cannot apologize enough to those that come to our city to spend their leisure time and have to sometimes face these issues. The spraying of mud or mustard or ketchup is one of the oldest tricks in the book, but it is still used by these crooks to try to throw you off guard.

Kudos to you for seeing it coming, and I hope you can solve the stains with professional drycleaning.

This happened to me in July.

I was at the Clock Tower across the street from the Retiro station. Must have made myself an obvious target because I was taking phoots of the tower. Felt the drops hit my back and realized what it was immediately.

Heard, "mister, mister, stop"...just started walking very fast without turning to look, ducked down the stairs into the subway station and they didn't follow.

It was thanks to this and other sites that prepared me and all it ended up being was some drops/stains on my pants.
