Oh yes. This happens far too often. It seems to be a common hobby among many college students to snatch anything and everything they find interesting. That very big beer mug? Gone. The decorations you hung for Valentine's day? If they're made of anything stronger than paper, they'll disappear. Hell, I've seen students stealing metal infomation boards from trams as souvenirs.

And bartenders are a walking target for criminals. I got robbed three times, a colleague got his cellphone stolen behind the bar while clearing a fight - and next day, he was working again, cops arrested someone and another guy stole his backup cellphone right under the cops' nose and vanished.

The amount of times people tried and sometimes succeeded paying me with fake money or blowjobs (okay, I accepted the blowjobs though) cannot be counted even if I had eight hands and twenty fingers.

And soccer club banners are a prime target for fans of rival clubs. Hell, I could write a book about my endeavours.
