There was a guy in Coatbridge near Glasgow, who always used a small camera
and carried it under his jacket (or coat). He would whip it out, take a
photograph and hide it again -- all done with the greatest possible haste.
Needless to say, his photos were generally of very poor quality. Pretty
much a waste of time and materials.
I imagine that getting decent pics in this way requires a certain 'special
skill'.
