There is a rumour and element of truth here too-2 weeks ago a girl was walking behind two "foreign" looking gentlemen in the Almondvale Shopping Centre when they dropped a wallet. She picked the wallet up and gave it to them, they said "thankyou you done me a great honour, now I will do you one, stay out of the centre on the 16th december!"

Now these threats/rumours have been happening all over the country, but this incident did actually occurr in our shopping centre, and the police are taking it seriously.

I too will be avoiding the centre, I am scared of the day i never seen

I really wouldn't worry about it. There was one about Birmingham a few years ago and nothing came of it. Its an urban myth

I for one would do my shopping there, especially if everyone else was keeping away as think of how empty it would be

There's one going around about Braehead shopping centre in Glasgow as well so I wouldn't worry...the same story that circulated after 9/11 about London...

guy drops his wallet, girl picks it up for him and he says "for your kindess don't be in Brahead/London/Dundee/McDonalds/KFC etc on such and such a date"

I work there so I'm not concerned
