In addition to the European style, vigilance

In addition to the European style, vigilance

Chen Ju-bin

In 2001 I had on the continent ' for three months, because often the three two people or a single person out of activities, take the subway every day in and out, "the privilege" as European pickpocket patronage object.

Reach Europe flowers on the first day, first take the subway from the Town Hall nearby resident sat 7 subway went to China town.

Just get in, they found the young Lee was a white man hold thigh, unable, I blurted out of a sentence that is what the Chinese: "!" at this point, the train door electric Bell, two white young flies down the train immediately. As a result, Lee lucrative purse was stolen ' spoils of war, with heavy losses. Later I heard that, to the tourists before throwing a subway ticket, and then hold visitor leg, back of the associates will quickly be your wallet luring, this trick is the European pickpocket recruiters. Unfortunately, this old tricks are often effective, especially the Chinese, who cash more and more is soonest hit. Afterwards, live in the same compound Chinese compatriots, many faced same.

Second, get a friend to the train station, the need to go a subway.

In interchange, just get on the train, I feel like someone took my bag, looked back bag has an open mouth, fortunately, my camera is too big, they fished out. I have not looked up, the two girls had been in front of me and took my coat pocket, I hold their hands, they are expertly broke. Fortunately, I have no cash in your pocket. Similarly, the train door bell rang, both sixteen appearance of the little girl would quickly go out of the subway car.

Third, after visiting the Museum, in the subway station just ready to get on the train, a group of boys stopped me, I think they are students, and in the Museum so elegant subway station, not too scared.

As a result of which a girl showing her credit card, like I said a lot of French, I really do not understand, the French say "sorry". Was about to walk, a man came up to me, I do not know whether to Rob, anyway that look quite like, good in the train arrived, I quickly jumped on the train, fled the civilization of the originally very wrong.

Fourth, I haven't got on the subway car, they found a suspicious man, when I have a little experience, they made a gesture, let him on the bus.

Two minutes from the train stop, he got out of the car, but soon, I see he is strangely with an Oriental women again get on the train, he would hand in Eastern woman's bag, has not pulled out anything. This is a big white men say a pass in French, the pickpocket also boldly to talk back to him, in the train doors close of last minute angry underground car.

Fifth, I and four Chinese take the subway to the Museum, I let them get on the bus, starry eye sees a white man galloped to, to get on the bus in front of me, I feel that something is wrong, he could have approached from another door to get in.

I heart through vigilance. Just get on the run from the boys immediately in front of me down lower body, hand-clap my pants, it seems that my pants is dirty, to help me beat out dust. I was shocked, and immediately jump to the other side, on the other side and a white man stopped me and build mighty cool, I quickly around the past. Can be looked up, my God! 5 white men get together, learn Chinese shouted at me up: "Hello, Hello" and then my heart really scared, scared out of sweat, a white passenger next to the lightest appearance, good in all of these gentlemen at the next station alighted, otherwise I really don't know what to do. Back to go to the police report and consult, a policeman is curiously heard my story, and didn't tell me what to do, but they invited me to the police station, said that the report specifically accepted over there. Our line of 5 people found can be reported to the Police Board and found only one female police in jogged be questioned, queued reported there are seven people. Forget. We don't want to waste time.

Sixth, in a famous shopping street, the scenery, I took out a camera into a bag, just getting started.

We feel that behind bag strange, there seems to be a force to pull back to me. Looked back and my God! a downin the white youth simply stuck to me. He hands end a open newspaper, stand I also retaining passer, good in my camera is big and heavy that he was not comfortable with. I stood, eyes stared at him, say in English: "what?" before he left to move back at a spanking.

Subway station, although there is a video of the probe, but very rare to staff, 3 months, I only saw two metro police, charge ammunition, each person's waist hanging around four or five kinds of weapons.

Unfortunately, the pickpocket, police had disappeared.

Only the individual is located in the downtown Metro stations in English and native language remind visitors: pickpockets often inside the Metro, please be travelers in their wallet and articles.

Speaking of heroic or not, if you are robbed of a woman, perhaps there will be a gentleman came out to help, if unfortunately is a male, but black hair yellow skin, it is estimated that even being robbed, may not come to the rescue.

With the influx of Chinese tour groups, Europe's largest stolen the thief know Chinese people rich, also know we Chinese people like to use the cash instead of credit cards.

Therefore, in Europe, the Chinese people wherever they may be subject to additional attention and "attention". Travel to Europe, if not followed tours, is required especially carefully.
