[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an everlane fanny bag worn crossbody tight against my chest in Paris. Pickpocket was still able to unzip and remove my Wallet without me noticing. Luckily a Good Samaritan stopped them and made them return it. Now I have a travelon crossbody bag that has locks on all the zippers. [/quote]

I do not understand how someone was close enough to you to unzip a bag on your chest and remove be your wallet without you noticing. Even on a crowded metro or in a crush at one of the tourist sites. Pickpockets can be aggressive but that's insane. I don't get it.

Btw I've been to Paris a half dozen times and never had an issue with this.[/quote]

I am not surprised at all. Subway takes a turn, you get tosses a bit. It takes a couple seconds for a skilled pickpocket. I absolutely hate these people and don't understand it as a career choice, because it very much IS a career choice. Doing it requires physical and mental skills you could use to not harm others.[/quote]
