Pickpockets and Purse-Snatchers: Take Care on the No 64 Bus!

  • Apparently one of the worst pickpocketing buses in Rome - and I managed to get my purse lifted by someone while the bus was loading passengers at the station, before the driver had even arrived! When I noticed I had lost my purse, probably in seconds of it going missing, I asked people around me what had they seen, and everyone just shrugged, including two young men who were closest to me. The Driver refused to get the police, saying "what the heck can I do about it?" when asked, and the thief/thieves stayed on the bus for several stops as no-one near me had moved!! That is the bare faced cheek of them I guess. I lost my last days spending money, credit cards and bus tickets, but luckily the warmth and friendliness of people I had met there meant I was not put off and my friend and I are going back for New Year- my money will be in a money belt from now on though!
