Jeans thief on loose?

An unusual incident happened to me today at my local Gym, writes Chris Gaynor.

And being a trainee journo, I can't help but be cynical about it. Perhaps I am getting too cynical in my old age!

I was in the changing room - sweating in the sauna, when I noticed a man having a sneaky peak at my clothes - and taking an unusual interest in my blue jeans.

Now, before I accuse the guy of doing anything dodgy, it raises serious questions about what is going on in Gym changing rooms. Wandering eyes, and maybe even wandering hands?

The guy was rumbled when I swiftly came out of the sauna and gave him a stare that would have done Lionel Blair proud.

Taken aback, the man said: "I...I was just looking at the brand of your jeans. They are nice."

Hmmmm... I thought to myself: "They are just jeans!"

The policy of the Gym is they do not accept liability for any damaged or valuable goods going missing - which is brazenly listed on the notice board in the changing room.

Even though there is no proof  the guy was intending to do anything potentially criminal, it begs the question why nose around at other people's clothes?

It is either rudery or something potentially more sinister.

Despite the jeans being new, a Christmas present, they are not anything special. They are £25 from Marks and Spencers. If he liked them that much, maybe he should get a pair!
