  • Dotted around venice you will see these Jamacian guys with about 5 or so bags on a blanket, they are obviously selling knock off goods/fake goods, and will get done if caught, however you TO will also get done for buying them, so my advice is stay away, and don't be tempted no matter how cheap or good they look.
    I guess the reason they have only several on show is so they can pack up and run quick !
    We also saw 2 policemen looking through a black binbag, and we noyiced that whikst we were watching them we have a coloured guy opposite us on the bridge, we figured it was his goods stashed in the bags and they had found it !
