倫敦「樂施手」　塞錢到皮包 【8/19 22:59】

〔本報訊〕以往民眾出國旅遊時，總是得注意自己的錢包，避免被竊，但近日在英國倫敦卻出現了多名「樂施手」（Putpockets），他們會趁旅客不注意 時，偷偷將5鎊（約新台幣272元）到20鎊（約新台幣1089元）不等的紙鈔，塞進神經大條的旅客皮包內，讓發現錢的民眾大呼驚喜。

根據《路透》報導，這項計畫是由英國一家寬頻廠商贊助，目前只在倫敦試驗，如果成效佳的話，9月開始就會推行到全英國。廠商發言人表示，公司之所以推動「樂施手」計畫，就是希望想用不尋常的方式，為飽受經濟壓力的人們增添生活樂趣。

廠商請來20名前任扒手，除了幫助他們重新做人外，還將錢交給他們，讓他們在特拉法加廣場（Trafalgar Square）、科芬園（Covent Garden）和其他繁忙的觀光景點，將紙鈔塞入旅客口袋或是敞開的手提袋內。據悉，該計畫至少將散財10萬英鎊（約新台幣544萬元）。
