I didn't see that coming!

I was travelling in India when an Indian gypsy woman walked towards me. She was carrying a baby. She also had a some mashed banana in a saucer in her other hand. As she came close she tripped and all the mashed banana went on my T-shirt. She apologized and showed me a water tap nearby. She told me that I should quickly wash my T-shirt or the stain woundn't go. Since it was so sticky and wet, I had no choice but to remove my T-shirt. I placed my bag on the ground for a moment. As soon as I did that, the woman was nowhere to be seen and my bag was gone. It only took her a second!
