I've been a consistent attendee of the last few London meetups and have attended many
more before that and this first time I've seen or heard of allegations of theft at
London meetups. I do wonder who this "well known Wikipedian" is intended to be
and who the "witnesses" are exactly, but I'm assuming good faith, and I
agree with Jimmy and others that this is ultimately a matter for the police.
I have left a note at the talk page of the next planned London meetup so people are aware
of it:

Kind regards,

The allegation on Jimmy Wales' soapbox is the first I had heard of any problems on any
channel. Was anything reported officially or is this subtle trolling?
I know that the current group-think is that discussion should be limited to Good News
stories and positive PR, but if there have been thefts then a warning to attendees to take
care would have been nice.
