OK. This is nothing new. But I just wanna share my experience with a pickpocket. I was sitting comfortably on the metro on a seat that can be folded up. In came a tall muscular guy who walked slowly to the empty seat next to me. I guessed he noticed I had my mobile phone inside my left pocket. So when the train moved, he "accidentally" fell onto the empty seat and brushed his hands through my left pocket. It was a discreet yet cunning way to fish out my mobile. Fortunately, I was alert enough to prevent the phone from getting fished out. And gave him a disgusted stare. He apologized for falling awkwardly beside me (and not for trying to steal my phone!). I remained vigilant throughout the rest of the train journey.

Good warning - losing one's balance on a train isn't so far fetched, so could easily hide an attempt to pickpocket. But I wonder why you felt you had to point out that the guy was black? | bafgkm Tue Nov 2, 2004 17:54 UTC
Nice job on Paris!! Thanks for the detailed info!! I'll visit Paris someday with someone special! ^^ | bpacker Thu Oct 14, 2004 02:32 UTC
Thanks for popping by my HCMC page! You've just returned from Paris like me? I'm building my page on this lovely place as well.. | CALSF Tue Oct 12, 2004 23:47 UTC
Hi, nice Paris tips. Not sure what you mean by 'rowdy'-never found Parisians to be rowdy. But true about pickpockets on the metro-it's their hangout. Unfriendly people can be found everywhere not just in Paris. |
