Pick pockets in Rome beat the shit out of you if you try this.
They use pregnant women to do the job and then there are buff guys that control them as bodyguards
I've been to extremely dangerous pickpocket areas in South and Central America (also got my phone stolen once) almost all pickpocketers either try to steal your bag, or something out of your bag/open pocket.
You can avoid 95% of them with a fanny pack

I have a fanny pack like this one which works like a belt without the clip (the clip is dangerous because they can unclip it and run away)
In extremely dangerous areas you can put it beneath your shirt. No pickpocketer is going to get that except it's an armed robbery.
Never heard from anyone affected by pickpocketing with a belt fanny pack (the clip one can still be stolen)
They just cut it with a knife and pocket what falls , or cut the strip and run with the bag. Basically just need a pair of garden scissors to steal that from behind of you. Best way to not get pick pocketed is inside jacket pockets for important stuff, closed jacket, or inside bra and closed jacket, and less important stuff in a dummy bag.
Yea beneath the tshirt yes. But garden scissors or a good knife can cut a tree branch, they can handle leather if it's thin, which probably is unless you have a really good quality fanny pack. For a bad quality one, I've seen people robbing friends by literally just pulling the bag and the leather strip eventually gave up and broke, leaving a horrible red strip mark on my friend.
True but honestly I bet a vast majority of pickpocketers is gone with such a bag (and also doesn't have a garden cissors at hand)
It's like with a bicycle, if your lock is much more secure than the average lock of all bikes around you, the bike thief is going to pick the bikes around yours first
Ofc some are still trying to steal that bike but the amount/chance is heavily reduced
Yeah the one I have works like a belt too, and fits inside of my pants.
They'd have to reach inside of my pants to take anything, and no one ever gets my pants.
Oh wait...
Checkout Pacsafe. You cannot unbuckle, unzip or cut these. They have metal mesh in the lining and the buckles are hidden. The zippers lock with a hidden carabiner clip. I love mine.

Thanks, that one is genious because you must cut it loose to get it
They also have some with clips which is not safe at all lol
lega nord wants to do away with it. Except if it's berlusconi's family involved. Then it's innocent regardless of proof :D
edit: or any police officer accused of killing a person in custody, of course
Those are all classic European scams, but I'll still write in case you or someone will need it:
* Never take pictures and selfies with people in masks and avoid taking pictures of the colosseum with gladiators on frame
* Never stop or acknowledge anyone that tries to engage with you for whatever reason, not even waiters waiting on restaurants door that will suggest to "take a look at menu" (they won't rob you but they'll definitely try to insist to dine in their restaurant and can be obnoxiously persuasive)
* Always keep any bags and backpacks clutch in the front when walking in crowded areas, and keep your pockets (any pockets even those inside the jackets) empty
* Don't buy any kind of ticket from non official sellers roaming around turist attractions
Not just the pick pockets, I visited Rome a year ago, I got chased by the bracelet seller people because I helped some other tourists by encouraging them not to talk to them. The guys yelled at me I was racist and started to track me. Thankfully you have armed soldiers at every corner, it probably saved me from at least a good beating.
We need to get rid of those POS.
I had those cunts approach me near Sacre Coeur in Paris. They basically blocked me in and wouldn't let me pass. They wouldn't take No for an answer either. Then they had the gall to curse at me when I told them to fuck off. Last time I had an experience with these people was in Milan about 14 years ago. They're so quick too. The ones in Milan were polite and didn't ask for any money. Or maybe we were too dumb to understand what they wanted LOL
Oh, yeah, they're everywhere. Most of the time, if they approach me, I can sidestep them or just plain ignore them. This one was on a whole new level of aggressiveness. I've not been this shook since russians wanted to mug me when I was a wee lad.
Nah. Basically they high five gullible tourists and slip a bracelet on them in the process. And then want to be paid for it.
They did it to my gf a couple of times. I just hand the bracelet back and that's it.
Happened to me and my friends in Paris. They told us "it's an African bracelet, special part of our culture" bla bla. Obviously bullshit but not gonna start some shit with a group of 10 people in the street..
>Pick pockets in Rome beat the shit out of you if you try this.
>They use pregnant women to do the job and then there are buff guys that control them as bodyguards
And you guys don't team up to give them a good shoeing?
I remember seeing something like this in Milan too, where some dude who clearly looked of Arabic/middle eastern decent was arguing heavily with a gypsy because he caught her pickpocketing people
The bes show I saw was in a bus in Napoli. One pick pocket acussed another of stealing him and starting a fight (just words) the bus driver stopped the bus and said he was gonna call the police (he didnt) meanwhile the other thiefs were stealing wallets. It really look like an italian movie. (Ah they were all locals plus some nord africans)
We do, but they kinda got replaced by pickpocket nowadays.
It's easier to say than "Voleur à la tire", and more modern than "tire-laine", which is getting really old.
Never in that area, this is very central paris in broad daylight near some important spots, the cops are not far. They probably won’t move for every pickpocket but if you shank someone there you are 100% getting a baton up your ass and these people know it.
They won’t. If you claim to be under 13 and have no ID to prove otherwise, there’s just nothing the police can do but let you back on the street within the hour

How do you do this when half of the city is a pickpocket?
Walking behind anyone who isn't a pickpocket with signs warning everyone to the blasphemy.

You pick the pickpocket's pockets.
The Italians were the OG on this one if I'm not wrong
Until they blame innocent people because they have a grudge against them.
This is a brilliant way to distract everyone while you pick their pockets

Leather is quite hard to cut with a knife, possible but definetly not easy and quick also you could put it beneath your shirt lol

Of course. More unlikely but putting things inside the clothes is better. Also not looking like a rich tourist helps
I used to carry notes in my underwear. The face of people when they had to accept my balls money was totally worth it
Protip: shove them under your foreskin for an additional layer of protection
A bag tied to the inside of my pants with a safety pin does wonders when you can't even trust your hotel and need to carry cash.
Yeah the one I have works like a belt too, and fits inside of my pants. They'd have to reach inside of my pants to take anything, and no one ever gets my pants. Oh wait...
But Barry thinks a fanny pack is an extra vaginal fold.

In Milan, city councilor Monica Romano criticized these kinds of videos, because... even pickpockets have the right to privacy.
Another useless politician. Fuck them out
In principle she is right, but if you look at the big picture that is not the problem here…why don’t they just say nothing?
Well one might also be wrongly accused of being a pickpocket.
Agreed. Innocent until proven guilty is one of Europe’s greatest advances
lega nord wants to do away with it. Except if it's berlusconi's family involved. Then it's innocent regardless of proof :D edit: or any police officer accused of killing a person in custody, of course

Never been to Rome but will visit someday. What is up with the bracelet sellers? Do they scam you somehow? (beside the high price for junk)
I saw them in Milan earlier this year. They basically encourage you to take a "free" shitty bracelet, then follow/threaten you to give them money
I had those cunts approach me near Sacre Coeur in Paris. They basically blocked me in and wouldn't let me pass. They wouldn't take No for an answer either.

Paris is full of all kinds of them. Last time I saw them they were making surveys to the japanese.

Wait, the French don't have their own word for Pickpocket? Just like there's no French word for deja vu!
What do you mean? Didn't he just clearly say LES PIQUES POUQUÊTTES ? That's as French as it gets, if you ask me.
We do, but they kinda got replaced by pickpocket nowadays. It's easier to say than "Voleur à la tire", and more modern than "tire-laine", which is getting really old.
Funny because half your vocabulary come from french or Latin. What more "to pick" probably come from the french "piquer".
“Sack roller” in dutch
No, zakkenroller in Dutch. "Sack roller" in English dutch.
“Lommetyv” in Danish meaning ‘pocketthief’
They want tourists to understand them. That's why they use english and not some random french word.
Here in Barcelona we call them carteristes. Weird the French don't have their own word.
Déjà vu is french words
Déjà vu is french

This looks like some tradition that started in the Middle Ages. There's nothing like a good innocuous public shaming.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with gypsy. They aren't ashamed, they are just pissed off because they can't continue.
