My experience is that with proper precautions, I don't normally worry  
about pickpockets in European cities. Don't forget, pickpockets by no  
means are concentrated in Paris, London or Rome.

So many Americans walk around those cities in their baseball caps  
with bulging wallets in their hip pockets and huge purses that they  
might as well hang a sign around their neck "Naive American tourist  
with lots of money to steal".  I think the culture of that nefarious  
group of people in many European cities is prone toward petty theft  
rather than mugging and shooting people that is more popular in some  
parts of the world.
