In short, to the OP. Like all cities. Be on your guard and use judgement for the sake of yourself and your property.

you are right and anyone can also be fooled by westerners looking people, what i wanted to outline is the existing of a "community" ring from young easterners trained to pickpoket in subway and crowded areas. Those are the biggest threat for stealing tourists in all european cities. Sorry if it bother some people to tell the sad truth

By the way, in case you wanted to know, I am indeed terrified by this picture.

Just saying.

In all honesty I'd say that whether they come from North, South, East or West one should be careful with pickpockets and thieves everywhere he goes. No one is fully protected against them and we should warn people about dishonest robbers in general rather than a specific skin color, nationality or origin, no matter what's the proportion of them in the "thieves" part of a city.

That is, unless they're mimes. In this case you must always be careful!

We're on a Rolex forum. An international brand... There are people from all over the world from all sorts of backgrounds. It is ridiculous to tell tourist visiting your country to be suspicious of "Certain" people.

P.S, your comment.
"Sorry if it bother some people to tell the sad truth."

Was unnecessary and revealing.

I'm not interested in continuing this argument (if that is what this is). I just really don't appreciate comments like this. I love Rolex because of the achievements the brand has brought--- Through Unity.

In any event.
