Back in world cup 2007, at eleven a.m. very sober, my wallet
with cards were 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 reportk
to the French police.
Please be warned these guys are good and such an experience
ruins a weekend.

Thanks for the heads up ML here's hoping you've a much better experience this time around.
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Yeah Cheers. Think I'll have to go into Barca mode, which hands constantly on phone and wallet in busy areas.

I do this far too often. I haven't been pick-pocketed yet though.
