Well, I don't know about that. I will say that the people I have encountered who have been victims of pickpocketing, were by and large people who had the situational awareness of cabbage.

I think if you're a tourist with a kid or two you really don't stand a chance. First priority is to make sure Billy doesn't step in front of a cablecar and second is to find the fucking Vatican and third is to not get pickpocketed, maybe.
