[Idyllchat] Thievery in Rome

[Pmcgsan at aol.com]

We were in Rome last April and my husband and I were walking side  by side up 
to the train in the Coliseum metro station.  All of a sudden  there was a man 
pushing his way in between us and I told my husband watch  out!  He separated 
us and as we got on the train his accomplish had HER  hand inside my husbands 
pocket, he grabbed her hand and she jumped off the  train.  It was a very 
close call.  Any pushing and shoving is a red  alert.  We have been to Rome many 
time since our first visit in 1973 and  this is the first time we had a 
problem.  A couple of years ago a thief  took my wallet out of my purse, another 
push and shove  situation.  That happened in the Paris metro station.   Avoiding 
the metro during rush hour is a good idea but not always  possible.  
 
We will be in Europe in April/May on a cruise and again in  June/July and I 
always have to remind myself to be on the  lookout.
