"Watch out for pickpockets!" - my Greek tour guide every 2 minutes
Thank you, Kostas.
I just returned from a month in London. I wore a money belt every day and once I was dressed forgot I was even wearing it. Money belts are great.
I just got back from Europe. Something I noticed is be careful If a stranger trys to get your attention in a train station . One theif will ask for directions or even act as good citizen and help with directions or carrier a bag while accomplish picks pocket. Safe travels.
Just had my iPhone picked from my FRONT jeans pocket in Santiago de Chile on the Metro last week. I had no clue a hand went in there and took it. Smooth operators.
The note is a nice added touch!
Lol, that note though! Hahaha
Lol. That note is funny.
Rick is the BEST
Saying "having stranger's hand slip slowly into my pocket, becomes one more interesting cultural experience" after Cologne incident, has quite a different meaning. Looking forward to see more durable equipment in you next movie.
you da' man rick steves!
Mr. Steves, you're alright. You really know how to stick it to those thieves, as they deserve.
There's a powder you can get that once it gets on hands it stains I think blue in colour and it's very difficult to remove. Would be great to put this powder all inside this wallet and leave it for one of those pickpockets to take.
I’ve seen this video quite a few times but never until this viewing did I realize that I have not had the experience of a pickpocket picking my empty pockets in Europe, and now I feel like I’m missing out.
🤣 It's a fun experience, especially when there is nothing in your pockets and you get to smile at them for giving you a no-charge "deep storage" game of pocket pool.
Going to Rome next month and am considering purchasing a money belt.
Did you get one?
DEAR THIEF LOL
Hi Rick, ya know the "Prison Wallet" never fails!
Both good things to have, whether you travel or not. I like the idea of a wallet with a zipper, it prevents money from coming out if you drop it, etc. The question I have is where can I buy either?
+Jason Carpp You can buy the products featured in this video on our website. They're also on sale for 20% off through January 17, 2016: store.ricksteves.com/shop/travel-accessories/security
+Rick Steves Europe Thanks. I'll check them out. I'm curious, are there stores in the Northwest, anywhere between Seattle and Tacoma, where I could purchase products like these?
will a money clip do just fine?
On a cruise, when off shore most activities we do are water related, is there anything like this but water proof? Thx
I put my money inside a small ziplock bag fold into half, credit card inisde a RDF sleeve, then I put it inside my neck money pouch. Two years ago, I bought a "wrist warmer" pouch from Amazon, it has a hidden zipper to hide my cash & credit card, and it's washable. I'm thinking about buying a larger size to wear it on my ankle during my long distance travel
1:45 Hahaha, you can always make me laugh
And
2:21
Innovative...
What makes you think pickpockets can read ? @ 2:10
Instead of a note in my stolen wallet, I would prefer a small explosive.
Coat your cards with contact poison that will burn their fingers.
Or a built-in GPS-Tracker
RICK PUTS WEED IN HIS?
1:42 😂😂😂
hahhah "consider changing ur profession"!
Ummm Rick, FYI it ain't only Americans, it's Brits, French, Germans and many others...
Americans give themselves away also by talking so loud when in Europe or for wearing white trainers or flipflops in cities. Europeans normally wear darker colours and shoes.
White "trainers" are all the 2022 rage in London.
i agree. Try to look like a local. Also, do not stare at a map when waiting for a train, a tedadbgive away you are not local.
Carrying your bags is also a giveaway that is not always easy to avoid. Stowe your mula away in the right location and you're fine.
watch out for obvious tourists. they attract sharks.
how about something for women.....that cannot be cut off
if somebody is cutting that off from under your clothes, i think youve got bigger problems
I wore a money belt in Rome. I'm half hispanic and half white, so people often think I'm Italian. When I entered a store, the sales staff would pass me and go to the white tourists. Another benefit I got was in the Vatican. Because security thought I was a local, I was allowed to get close to the pope.
Thieves target anyone. Not specifically Americans. And Americans are not the only people with "good stuff". I know this video is for Americans, but I'd expect better than ridiculous generalisations from somebody so well travelled.
+QWERTYOP80 When i travel I normally carry at least $500.00. when im at home I rarely carry more then 20.00. What he was getting at is tourist have large sums of money, camera, computer, gps ect.
QWERTYOP80 yea but Americans are seen as the wealthiest. Everytime I introduce myself as an American in SEA everyone's eyebrows would raise and they'd visibly get excited and or smirk. I introduced my self from Hk after that.
The target market for his products are Americans. Simple as that.
I think he just meant that us westerners carry around a lot of cash in foreign countries. Locals generally use their cards as we do at home.
Super 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hate the way most Americans talk about Europe as if it is one place. Europe is 44 entirely different countries. There is no way to experience “Europe”. That’s like going to Ohio and thinking that’s the whole of the US.
Rick is more well traveled than you or anyone else watching this video and has several companies to that end. He's well aware Europe is a continent. In fact, Rick specialises in European historical knowledge. Many countries in Europe have pickpockets and for the purposes of this video him saying "as you travel through Europe" was sensible.
If you talk with a proper accent no one will bother you.....
What do you mean.
