I found an interesting website about protecting yourself against pickpockets:

Euros, scroll down for a list of European "hot spots". A co-worker of mine had a nice street fight in Pisa Italy with a gypsy girl w/ baby strapped-on...exactly as described here! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

(they ripped her lira note in half)

They didn't mention the trick of carrying
a concealed knife so you can stab the pickpocket through his/her hand. That'll
learn 'em! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Actually it was quite one-sided: 3 gypsy girls held Karen's arms while the gypsy w/ baby strapped to her chest rifled Karen's pockets violently....basically a mugging by gypsy girls! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
