Bobo Vieri, "victim" of an attempted theft together with his wife, Costanza Caracciolo. The incident happened in a restaurant in Milan, during a dinner with friends.
"We are at dinner and someone came and wanted to steal the phone," the former footballer wrote on social networks, "but we caught him and drove him away."
On this occasion, the former Italian striker appealed to all his followers, asking them to "be careful, because these types of thieves take a note and put it on the phone and then take the phone and the note. You have to be careful in Milan".
The thief tried to rob Bobo Vieri with the "leaf" technique.
The method consists of approaching with a very large piece of paper, usually a road map or even a leaflet, and taking the loot while posing as tourists.
"Fortunately, thanks to 'Striscia la Notizia' and Valerio Staffelli, we recognized the common technique of 'sheets' and avoided the theft of two phones on the table. So, thanks to you too," Costanza wrote on Instagram.
