Eiffel Tower shuts as staff walk out over rise in pickpockets | World news | The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/m ... ickpockets Visible crime of every description was rampant when I was there in the late 90s. On the trip towards Paris the first person we saw was breaking into a car! |

Was at the Trocadero and the Tower a few weeks ago and both were surrounded by gangs selling tatt. At the Trocadero there was one copper on a bike giving totally ineffective pursuit. |

There are gangs of people doing five card tricks and find the pea games along the South Bank. You can see look outs too. They are quite brazen. |

I've used the line " touch me and you lose your teeth" a few times in Paris. I really hate it as a city, dirty and throughout unsafe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I was at the pub last night with people from work. As I set off on my bike I rode past a girl screaming "that's my phone!" And a woman trying to pull her phone from her. The woman started running away (in my direction). I jumped off my bike and stopped her. Lol! Soon after lots of other people got involved and the noise got too much so I left it. Hope she got her phone back anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
