6 Worst Cities In The World For Pickpocketing by luash: 5:57pm On Oct 24, 2013
When you are traveling, you always need to be
watchful of your valuables. This is especially
true of items that you carry in your pockets.
When you are traveling in a foreign country,
you need to be especially careful in certain
places that are known for pickpockets. Here is a
guide to the ten worst cities in the world for
pickpockets.


1. Barcelona
This beautiful Spanish seaside city hides a
danger underneath its surface. It is notorious
for thieves who like to prey on unsuspecting
tourists. The large crowds and boisterous noise
provide the perfect environment for pickpockets
to operate.

2. Prague
This is widely considered by many to be among
the most beautiful cities in Europe. It draws in
legions of tourists every year, but many of them
leave with less cash than they should. Be very
wary of the large crowds that provide cover for
pickpockets at the tourist hotspots like the
Charles Bridge in Prague.

3. Rome
Rome is one of the most popular tourist
destinations in the world, and that reputation
draws in the thieves. They have easy pickings
with the many tourists who walk around in a
daze as they gaze upon all the famous sights. Be
mindful of your surroundings at all times in
Rome, especially in busy areas.

4. Madrid
Spain can be proud of many things, but having
two cities among the top five most notorious
pickpocket locations in the world is not one of
them. The Spanish capital of Madrid is also one
of the world’s pickpocketing capitals. The metro
and the markets are the locations where tourists
need to be especially careful to guard
themselves against the sticky fingers of petty
thieves.


5. Paris
They say that Paris is a city for lovers. That
reputation may help explain why it is one of the
world’s leading pickpocketing sites. The lovers
walk around in a haze as they enjoy their
romances, which makes them easy marks for the
thieves who patrol the city’s streets. They are
especially prevalent on the city’s metro lines.
The crowded trains make it easy for them to
operate without getting caught. People are
packed in so tight that it can be difficult to
notice someone’s hand reaching into your
pocket.

6. Buenos Aires
This is one of the wealthiest cities in South
America, which brings in lots of thieves who are
looking to siphon off some of that wealth. One of
the most infamous tricks these thieves pull is to
have one person dump something on a tourist.
An accomplice then comes in to “help” the
tourist by cleaning them off, which gives them
an ideal camouflage for rifling through the
mark’s pockets.
