Selfies - be warned

Just read about the Australian woman who won $825A on the Melbourne Cup, took a photo of herself with the ticket and put it on Facebook unfortunately with the barcode in view.  When she went to the bookies it had been claimed!no

Similar fate befell the Jules Rimet Trophy in 1966.


One minute Bobby Moore is waving the Trophy about on TV and the next minute some thieving tow rag has had it away.


Strange old World Cup.

 Don't know the how of it but the Huffington Post wouldn't lie.  Seems the barcode was significant.  Woman reckons it could only have been a Facebook friend.  Live and learn.

 I thought it was pinched before the WC and found by a dog called Pickles?  Or was that the detective who got Ronnie Biggs?

You are correct, ridgeway. The WC was stolen a few weeks before the finals kicked off.

I was just using artistic licence.

 You are forgiven, Andy.  I never like to let the facts stand in the way of a good story.
