I did 'pick' out the pickpockets everywhere I went. I pain attention to everything and everyone around me and I stopped a stranger, my father-in-law, wife and myself from being pickpocketed. WATCH OUT FOR THE CHILDREN WITH THE MAPS! Really, when was the last time a child was all alone looking at a map. I shoved one away, no one would care, as long as you rightfully do so ... EXCEPT, in Europe more likely than not they are Gypsies. And Gypsies hang out in large family groups, so if the child is in 'training' there may be some bigger ones nearby watching over. I kept a decoy wallet with a few bucks and old cancelled credit cards in it. The real stash was in a waist belt UNDER MY PANTS. (not underpants). SLEEP WITH THAT THING ON and NEVER leave it unattended. Even if you feel safe. Night time train robberies are common. Sleep with one eye open, but don't let it get to you. I never felt in danger. Have a great time and take your common sense with you!
