Wow, what a great trick! I wish I could learn it for when I go to Pug: "Look into my eyes: this part will not cost a fortune; the work will not cost me an arm and a leg; you will not charge me for parts I don't need"The good ol' BBC wrote:'Hypnotist' thief hunted in Italy
Police in Italy have issued footage of a man who is suspected of hypnotising supermarket checkout staff to hand over money from their cash registers.
In every case, the last thing staff reportedly remember is the thief leaning over and saying: "Look into my eyes", before finding the till empty.

Isn't it the stealers doing it to us, not us doing it to them:
You will buy this part, even thou it costs a fortune; while your here you may as well pay us a silly amount to fit the part and you'll happily pay us for the other parts we fit even thou you don't really need them. Don't forget you will return next time you think there is something wrong with the car for a repeat procedure.
