When I started researching my Europe trip, I came across some videos on YouTube about pick-pocketing. There were a few clips that have stayed in my memory:
These video clips are pretty worrying, particularly the scams of the people stopping you in a doorway or lift. It has got me a little worried so I’m researching how to avoid pick pocketing… I think I will do a post on that shortly…
Until next time
A young girl tried pick my pocket at the Eiffel Tower. It’s surreal, almost — you read about these things but don’t really think it could happen to you until it does. Have a safe trip!
It’s scary that it can happen so quickly – hopefully that girl didn’t get anything of yours.
Thank God, no. She wasn’t very good at it, but it’s disturbing how young (and pretty) she was and how she was already living a life of crime.
Yes I’ve heard they are trained at a young age so that if they are caught, there’s not much the police can do. It’s very sad
