AP News BANGKOK (AP) — One recent night, Youga was grateful when he finally slept in a bed — even though it had neither pillow nor blanket.

“Run, don’t walk: we’re in the Castello area,” said the post. “Pins are available while supplies last.”

It sent the group sprinting.

Early each morning in Milan, eager collectors have been gathering to await word of the exact spot where they can score highly prized, limited-edition Olympics pins that — if they’re fast enough — are free.
