I said that in a loud and aggressive voice,
"And I'd like it to just stay where it was on the table there!"

I was standing three feet away from my cafe table, talking on my cellphone, and this 40 something gentleman in a striped gray suit with little earbuds breezed by, headed between me and my table, and reached across my laptop to pluck my wristwatch off the table...then hung a left and went into the cafe as I called after him. He gave the watch back and dissembled quite nicely, while I tried to keep a straight face.

He was, at the very least, brazen... I was impressed at how easily he gave up and how amused we both were by it...
