An unzipped purse is as much as an invitation as an open pocket!

Sure hope you remain unscathed!

Me too! A near miss isn’t nearly as bad as a loss!

Paris is another epicenter for pickpockets. Things became so bad a the Louvre recently that they closed the museum for several days.

The wait in the “triage room” in the police station actually was an interesting experience although we would have been better off without it:-)

Thanks for sharing your experience, Arline. I always worry about backpacks because you can’t see what’s happening behind you!

Your comment also reminds me that it’s not good to keep all your currency in one place!

I think the camera-prone position is particularly onerous!

Those jeans are never traveling with us again! Ordinarily, Jerry travels with a Scottevest that has too many interior pockets but it was too warm on that particular day!
