Pickpockets in Bordeaux

Post by madridlion »

Back in world cup 2007, at eleven a.m. very sober, my wallet
with cards was very expertly removed from my pocket
while waiting for a tram in Bordeaux on the day of a match.

Within one hour my visa card had been used in one jewellery
shop to the tune of 2,600 euro and my debit card in another
jewellry shop for 1,000 euro.

I eventually got my money back as had made a report
to the French police.

Please be warned these guys are good and such an experience
ruins a weekend.

Pass the word
