  • Pickpocketers find Amsterdam a paradise. Don't put your wallet in a visible place (backpocket trousers) and keep bags tight.
    De Walletjes indeed are a touristic attraction in Amsterdam, but people that think it is wise to use the photo- or videocamera while walking the red-light-streets are in for an unpleasant surprise. The 'local working class' will take action, so beware and show respect by not making pictures here.

  • Lock up ... or the load it on a van

  • No, this number is not the amount of bicycles that go by any choosen place in Amsterdam, it's the amount of bicycles that get stolen every year! So, when you rent a bike or drive your own through town, take care that you have an appropriate lock and lock the bike together with a lanternpost, trafficsignpool or a fence on one of the thousand bridges in town. There are enough students that have bikes that cost less then the lock they bought.
