It's almost like this one hokey show I used to watch where the main character was in hiding from a drug lord. He ended up hatching a really odd scheme to get rid of the guy that would never work in real life. It had to do with a bell, an old Mexican guy in a wheelchair, explosives, poison beans, poison berries and a kid in the hospital.
Really weird. Had to suspend belief a little there.

That scam actually exists in various forms. I know it's widely warned in Paris that tourists avoid gypsy scams where a girl approaches you with what appears to be an expensive ring and asks if you dropped it. IF you say yes, they ask for a reward. If you say no, they attempt to sell it to you. Some rubes will throw good money at her thinking it's an expensive piece but it's not.
