  • The area around the Colosseum are rife with beggars and Gypsies. The newest trick is for a woman to carry a fake baby. She will walk towards you, pretend to trip and throw her "baby" at you in the hopes you will catch the child. While you are being distracted by this, her fellow workers come and pickpocket you! BEWARE OF THESE TRICKS!
