Growing up, if I was bad, my parents used to say that they would "sell me to the Gypsies"... but it didn't carry the same weight growing up in Canada.
When I was in Bosnia, there were sometimes gypsies that would stand outside of tourist attractions and ask for entrance fees to things that are free. I paid $20 to get into a mosque that I later found out was free and then another $10 to get into a public park before a local warned me about what was going on.
Ironically, many in the area seem to really like gypsy music though.
