A few days ago in Rome some gypsie looking guys tried to pick pocket me. I think one guy tried as I was getting onto the bus (I only felt a nudge) but failed. A little later I noticed later the same guy stand close to me on the bus with a couple of his buddies closing off most of the view and try again. This time I actually saw a hand touch the move downwards under a jumper he was carrying almost as if he was trying to scratch his leg. I was wearing a baggy pair of shorts and saw his hand actually move a little into the pocket but the wallet was too far down and I was staring hard at him. Unfortunately at that moment we got to a stop and they quickly got off as I started abusing them.
Goes to show:
1) Being short and wearing baggy pants isn't so bad
2) Being bald is not only cool on the head and saves on haircuts it also helps scare off the gypsies
3) Italians don't only go down in soccer, they do it on buses and on the streets too
