Interview with a Pickpocket at the Running of the Bulls Festival in Pamplona

I'm amazed at how few travel programs mention anything about safety when traveling. It's in all the guide books but somehow it's never mentioned in travel films.

During the Running of the Bulls festival we wanted to find out about the pickpocket scene and managed to get an interview with a professional pickpocket. He's very articulate about what the job entrails.

Disclosure: at the festival I had my pocket picked, as did most everyone.

Paris is the top place for rumanian pickpockets. They are the main problem of Paris right now and a lot of people in Paris try to hide this from tourists. I try to post about this on tripadvisor and they always delete my posts.

Paris don't want that people knows about this problem.

I have more respect for a theif that makes 100 000$ a year than for a banquer/buisnessman that makes 200 000$ a year. Neither of them brings something constructive to the society, but the theif takes less.

If someone has the skill to do that, then they are working for the money. And all you people who say it should be done by force are stupid because it takes real skill to pickpocket not mug which is for stupid hoodlums.
