RE: Cautionary tale: Paris pickpockets

["Eric Burger" <eburger at brooktrout.com>]

On my way into Paris on my last trip on the RER, a two person team got
fairly far into my IETF Novell bag before I noticed anything.  Somehow
they didn't take anything, but I think that's because I felt them and
turned around.  They were gone before you could say "Arret".

Moral: ANY zipper in sight is just an invitation...

When you purchase pants always ask for an internal back pocket to be 
added.You do not need it to be fancy. Put flat stuff there (passport, 
survival and plastic money). Keep a "false/plastic wallet" as a
deception 
in you regular pocket, so they do not think searching further. Dave 
experimented it in Paris, I learned it in NY. The advise is good the
world 
over.
