Italian police have issued CCTV pictures of a man who appears to hypnotise a supermarket cashier before stealing money from her till.

According to reports from the Italian news agency, Ansa, the man asked the cashier to change a 100 euro note and as soon as the till was opened he proceeded to hypnotise her into handing over money…

When the cashier came to count the till money at the end of her shift, £600 was missing.

“It was very strange,” she said.

I can think of another word: ABSURD!

    well its true, same thing happened to my male cousin. A guy just walked up to him and asked for directions. While he didnt even come too close to the guy and the next thing he knows , his wallet is gone. Just like that.

    I can think of another: co-conspirator.

    I am a certified hypnotherapist, and I am doubting this story. He may have confused this woman to the point where her conscious mind went on tilt for a moment, but it is not likely that she would just allow him to take the money from the register. Even if she were hypnotized it is not likely that she would respond to a suggestion to give him the money.

    Reminds me of Kenny Craig from “Little Britain”

    An almost exact thing happened to me yesterday. While I was in the bathroom this guy in the mirror told me to go back to bed, so I did.
