  • Paris Pick-Pockets

  • Le problème des voleurs qui vous fouillent les poches sans vergogne est mondial. A Paris, et dans toutes les grandes villes de France, de nombreuses bandes se partagent le "marché". Mais ce n'est ni plus ni moins qu'ailleurs.
    C'est l'occasion pour moi de redonner "mes astuces" :

    1 Jamais de signe ostensibles que l'on est un touriste !
    2 Il existe des portefeuille, ou des porte-monnaie, munis d'une chaîne (5 à 10 Euros sur n'importe quel marché). C'est un bon moyen de dissuader les voleurs (la chaîne est visible).
    3 Ne pas mettre tout son argent au même endroit, et séparer cartes bancaires, espèces, chéquier...
    4 Dans les transports en commun, ne pas rester au milieu, mais toujours se mettre dos à une cloison (ou assis). Ne pas attendre à l'avant du quai (jamais personne derrière vous).
    5 Pas de signe ostensibles de richesse dans les lieux touristiques.
    6 Eviter de rester immobile dans une queue ou dans la rue.
    7 Ne garder sur soi que la copie de ses papiers d'identité et passeport. Les originaux étant en sécurité.
    8 Séparer l'argent et les papiers : JAMAIS TOUT AU MEME ENDROIT.
    9 Dans les queues (cinémas, musées, lieux touristiques), quand vous êtes en famille, que chacun surveille ce qu'il se passe derrière les autres membres de la famille.
    10 En cas de doute : CRIER ! Si la personne est malhonnête, elle va s'enfuir.

    Et surtout, rester attentif à tout ce qui vous entoure. Méfiez-vous des bousculades, des faux ivrognes, des enfants en bande...
    Les lieux les plus dangereux restent le métro, les lieux touristiques, la proximité des distributeurs automatiques...

  • The problem of the thieves that searches you the pockets without shame is world. In Paris, and in all big cities of France, numerous strips share the " market ". But it is no more no less only elsewhere.
    It is the opportunity for me to give back " my tricks "

    1 ever of sign conspicuous that one is a tourist !
    2 some portfolio exists, or of the purse, provide a chain (5 to 10 Euros on any market). It is a good means to dissuade the thieves (the chain is visible).
    3 not to put all his/her/its money in the same place, and to separate banking cards, species, checkbook...
    4 in the public transportation, not to remain to the middle, but always to get back to a baffle (or seated). not to wait in the front for the embankment (ever no one behind you).
    Conspicuous 5 steps of sign of wealth in the tourist places.
    6 to avoid to remain immobile in a tail or in the street.
    7 to keep on oneself that the copy of his identity papers and passport. The original being in security.
    8 to separate money and the papers : EVER ALL TO THE SAME PLACE.
    9 in the tails (movies, museums, tourist places), when you are in family, that each supervises that that it happens behind the family's other members.
    10 in case of doubt : TO SHOUT ! If the person is dishonest, she is going to run away.

    And especially, to remain attentive to everything that surrounds you. Mistrust in a group the hustles, the false drunkards, the children...
    The most dangerous places remain the subway, the tourist places, the proximity of the automatic tellers...
