Scammer orders a €40 lunch, leaves her purse on the table and runs out of the restaurant with an excuse.

A woman between the ages of 40 and 50 allegedly committed a scam at the '2M Food and Drink' restaurant in Lido di Camaiore, Tuscany. She ordered a meal costing €39.30, then claimed she needed to check on her mother, leaving her handbag at the table before disappearing. The handbag contained only old cloth and used cream. The restaurant owners, who described the incident as a prank, confirmed there was no customer matching her description. They expressed frustration over being deceived but chose to display the receipt as a humorous reminder. The woman is reportedly a professional scammer known in the area for similar tactics.
