OMG is convinced he’s been pickpocketed at a Loire Valley bar. He demands Jeff “call the cops” before his identity is stolen because he watched a TV program with his mom about miscreants who did exactly that at bars. The panic escalates when he discovers he’s missing 12 euros, his birth certificate, and part of his driver’s license — but not his passport.

Jeff lays out the options:Spend 120 euros to go back to Paris alone, or keep riding with the group while Jeff checks with the local police. OMG chooses to stay, mostly because he doesn’t want to spend the money on the train back to Paris.

After pointing OMG in the right direction, Jeff stops by the bar — now a quiet morning café — and the bartender casually hands him OMG’s entire fanny pack, complete with all the “stolen” items. Jeff pays OMG’s bar tab and shakes his head when the bartender wishes him "bonne chance."

This episode delivers:

• Loire Valley travel mishaps

• Identity‑theft paranoia

• Group‑tour comedy

• Lost‑and‑found chaos

  And Jeff’s ongoing attempt to keep OMG from self‑destructing.

  Perfect for listeners who love memoir‑style storytelling, travel disasters, and characters who cannot be invented.
