Fake Buddhist monks roam big cities around the globe, panhandling for money. They approach people, usually tourists, with bracelets, amulets, petitions for world peace, or other things. Once you accept their offering or sign the petition, they ask (or push) for a donation. If they gave you a bracelet or amulet and you don't "donate", they snatch whatever it is they gave you out of your possessions and walk away without a word. If you take their amulet or bracelet and walk away, they may even grab your wrist!

Here, if you look closely, you can see this woman pulling out a dollar bill from her purse which rests on her thigh, while the "monk" eagerly awaits payment. This was shot with a Canon F1, a 50mm 1.4, and Fujichrome Provia 35mm film.
