  • Everywhere you go, you must be careful with your bags.I write it here because it happens to me in Rome. My last visit i went on a metro to downtown with my backpack tucked under my arm. Afterwards when i want to pay in a shop ni couldn't find my purse. It must have been a sneaky person who took my purse in my backpack without me knowing it. The train was packed with people, brushing against each other.So beware in any packed train or bus.

  • I got pickpocketed one day in a metro downtown in Rome. Then i walked to the nearest police, in my case it was at the train station.There were at least 10 police officers in the office and we are the third group waiting there. We waited for 20 minutes, the first group walked away because they haven't been attended to. Then a few officers (smoking) and walked away from the office. The others chatting with each other. When i jump the queue and asked how long do we have to wait, one of them just ignore me. All i want was just a piece of report to claim back my documents and licenses to the authority in my home country. And suddenly everyone disappeared from the office and we were stunned. What is happening? Then one officer came back and told us to do the report at the airport???? We were wasting our time almost an hour in a cold winter nights and hungry. I was pissed and decided to head back to the hotel and make a report he next day when we are leaving Rome.
