Pickpockets in Bordeaux

[madridlion]

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.

Pass the word

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.

I do this in Dublin. Just nervous after spending lots of time in Paris, I suppose

Maybe that's what Leo was trying to do!
