American tourist William White pictured outside Gloucester Cathedral on his trip to the UK. See SWNS story SWMONEY; A 100-year-old America who was mugged on a trip to the British town where he was born has thanked the thief – after he later returned all the money. Tourist William White was visiting the UK with his son when the cash was snatched from a bum-bag he was wearing around his waist. He had stepped off a bus and slipped over and he was helped up by a passer-by – who then nicked around £1,400 (pounds). The devastated holidaymaker reported the incident to police who began investigating an incident of pick pocketing.
