Watching TikTok vids, I see young, new tourists discovering Euro pickpockets. The way they talk, you'd think it's inevitable and you should stay home. Calm, calm.
Have had just two 'pocket issues in 45 years. On a bus to Vatican, one got me. He was good! I was ready. Still got me!
In the Paris Metro, I felt a hand on my wallet on escalator. Grabbed hand, nearly broke his fingers. Kept wallet.😁
Stay alert, don't be dumb, but don't be afraid to go to Europe.
