Subject: Chewing gum 'stolen as Romanian currency' Mon Feb 20, 2012 5:52 pm
Hundreds of pounds worth of chewing gum is being stolen from British stores to use as currency in Romania.
Chewing gum and other small packets of sweets are commonly offered instead of small change by shopkeepers according to a police officer who has investigated the thefts.
PC David Walton, of West Mercia Police, said it was a growing problem for supermarkets across the Midlands and North Yorkshire.

Is the currency over there worth diddly, or are shop owners trying to make a bit extra?...
