Les fameux hold-up de banque aussi qui ont pratiquement disparu! Dans les années 80-90 avec les professionnels du hold-up. Mais bon, maintenant ce sont "nos aînés", principalement, qui se font frauder...

"There is a sucker born every minute" (proverbe d'origine inconnue souvent attribué au célèbre homme de cirque amércain P.T. Barnum.) Ceci explique cela.

Not to sound like a broken record, but 90% of people out in public staring at their phones counts as dystopian to me!
