It is the judges who decide, not the Prime Minister. The judiciary in Italy is independent of politics. They decide whether or not to proceed with imprisonment. The usual idiotic comments from people on the left.

In the comments, they say they are Eastern European Gypsies, not Italians, and what is even more serious is that even if they freely commit crimes, the authorities do not respond or punish them. Please protect not only your own citizens but also foreign travelers.

We were a group of 13 and visited Rome 8 years ago. In our group we had young children and elderly. We faced pick pocketers every day for 6 days. We didn’t lose anything but our pockets zipped were undone several time. On our last day on the subway, a police officer pointed a group of underage teenagers to us and he pointed at our pockets, bags etc and warning us about them in body language. He was trying to protect the tourists. We would love to go back to Italy but our experience was unforgettable and so we still have not been back to Italy. Thank you for your video.

Very helpful. I was on a bus in Rome when a woman tried to pick my pocket. I was sitting and she was standing. I offered her my seat when she got on but she refused and preferred to stand. The bus went around a bend in the road. The woman acted like she lost her balance and was suddenly against me with her hand in my right pocket. I gave her a quick look and she moved away and said excuse me in Italian then promptly got off the bus. There was nothing in my pocket to take. If I do carry anything it’s lip balm or hand sanitizer. My neck wallet is my favorite way to carry valuables.

Unfortunately there are lots of pickpockets around big cities in Italy. The Italian government have to do immediate action because tourists will not be comfortable to visit this city. I’m an Asian, an Italian citizen who lives in Italy for 30 years. It was a great country to live but when it became European Community, the bad people came. Anyway you did a good job and take care always!

the laws in the western countries are very permissive with such people, why do you think that in Romania the gypsies do not have the courage to do so much? here the first time if you are caught stealing you get 24 hours of arrest, the second time you go to prison for at least 30 days, it seems strange to me that there are groups of thieves that the citizens and the police know and they are free on the streets ...

In Paris they had a Bosnian gypsy family arrested (finally!) after they found out how they were exploiting young children to steal in metros, train and bus stations. That gypsy family had a huge house outside Paris, spent millions for flashy weddings, had their favorite musicians from Serbia playing music and enjoyed high life. At the same time they would beat small gypsy kids who did not bring them several thousand Euros per week from metro theft. Those kids were not at school, some were pregnant, lived under constant terror to steal for their masters. The authorities would probably do nothing if it didn’t involve young children. It’s really disgusting how decent people have to live in fear, especially older citizens who are more trusting and slower in picking up who could possibly harm them. There are terrible stories of breaking into older people homes. Something needs to be done.

Great informative video that showcases the whole operation and how it works. Roma pickpocket's have been operating for as long as I can remember in Europe. Even in the early 80's one had to be careful when groups of Roma children suddenly surrounded you at various tourist spots. Constant awareness in any crowded area and the use of money belts will greatly reduce the chances of you being robbed. Stay safe.

Thank you for making this video. I hope lots of people will watch it before going to Roma. I was pickpocketed in Rome 2015. Luckily my passport was in a separate place but I lost a lot of money.

They tried to pickpocket my father twice around the Vatican as we climb out from the metro station. My father only keeps folded napkins in his back pockets so of course they got nothing. 3 more times Gypsies and Africans try to strike up a conversation by complimenting my shoes and asking where I’m from. I just say I am from here and ignore their follow up questions. I almost wanted to say I am from Africa From New York we are usually more on alert in public places but the concentration of pickpockets and scammers still surprised us

I was pickpocketed in Rome on a subway... I put my wallet in my front pocket, thinking that was safer... an attractive person was pushing into my body, and my first reaction was "this feels pretty good"... as soon as I got off, I realized what happened. i felt pretty stupid, especially having just been to an ATM. Now, I keep my wallet in my front pocket, but on a strong fabric chain, which isn't hooked into a flimsy jeans belt hoop, but rather that wraps around my leather belt twice. Absolutely impossible for them to get now. Fool me once.... I stupidly thought I'm the smartest person and this could never happen to me.

Bonus advise: don't use credit cars for anything, get some cash to use for small payments such the subway tickets, street food and so on, and don't keep it all in just one pocket, so that in the worst case they won't be able to take but few coins. Never use credit cars in public spaces, your wallet should be tucked deep in your internal pocket, never take it out in such places, do it in advance before entering the subway if you have to. We are at war.

Take the good part of the advise, do a selection of your actions depending on the places you intend to visit. The idea is to avoid to expose yourself and personal belongins whenever it is possible be smart and before a tour get informed about the city you will visit is happening in many cities in the world.

How did you manage to outsmart them?

A few weeks ago I was on a crowded metro when we were surrounded by several young guys (I don't think they were Italian). One started sneezing theatrically in front of me then people pulled back. Realising his mates were behind us I thrust my hands into my pockets to cover my wallet and phone. Difficult to do this without losing balance on a moving train! Thankfully they got off next stop. Don't let this put you off Rome though, just be vigilant!

Very informative. Your English is good enough to pass an important message. Thank you!

I was a victim myself last march in the Rome subway. Such a beautiful country but ruined by horrendous street crimes.. sadly shameful.

I witnessed one standing at a bus stop young person backpack , looking at her phone l noticed the man moving closer , l also noticed a man giving him the ok , l immediately stepped in advised the young girl and even pointed out his , look out , all was safe except the man’s face , it was a PICTURE

Four weeks ago in Rome, in a crowded subway, they stole 100 euros from my waist bag. Even though I had carried it on the front side and had been informed beforehand by thieves in Rome, these damned sons of bitches somehow managed to get it anyway. The subway was completely overcrowded at the time, so they saw their chance. Despite everything, it is a beautiful, timeless city and I would want to visit it again.

Thank you so much for this video I got an idea how to avoid them in my future trip in rome

Shame on those two men the pickpockets, they have no values at all!!! involving their children? What a shame!! Can you imagine those children in their near future? This is pathetic!!

I carry a small crossbody, anti-slash bag. I put my phone in a pocket that is easily accessible to me. I put my credit cards/debit card/cash/passport in the interior zipped pocket and latch the zipper to a ring on the bag. Everyone knows they aren’t getting into any of my stuff so all of this is avoided. I am always shocked at the people who put their phones in their pockets, money in backpacks, drape bags/purses over the back of their chairs while eating. You are just asking for trouble. Be smart and vigilant. Also, I do this in the US also. This type of thing happens in any large, touristy city.

"ROME" (in Italian, ROMA) = the capital of Italy "ROMANS"= the inhabitants of Rome "ROMA" or "ROM" = An indian people migrated to Europe in the Middle Ages. They are a branch of the GIPSY people. These pickpockets are not Italians. They travel in the main europeans cities.

@@yokifamily :-) In Rome, Italians normally engage in other crimes. No doubt they still existed some fifty years ago. In Naples, however, organized Italian pickpockets (men only) still exist. Foreign gangs (men and women) operate in Rome precisely because there are no organized Italians pickpockets there. As for laws, they exist as they do everywhere, but against a foreigner who is homeless and constantly moving from one camp to another, very little can be done. Perhaps, in your country you have no one like those, so you allow yourself to lecture us. Telling the truth is racist; saying things against Italians is not: thank you for teaching me that.

Thanks for your efforts Rome is the only place I have ever been pickpocketed. 2 old ladies who pretended to be kind and helpful.

I had a similar situation in Athens in 2022, where sadly my wallet was taken from my pocket. This incident completely erased the good impression I had of the city and the country.

So useful and surprisingly entertaining. Greetings from Bolivia.

These pickpockets are everywhere. Your English is very good. Thank for sharing, travel safe.

Thank you for this really good video. When I was first in Paris, I witnessed pickpockets at work within 3 minutes of my first metro journey. And this was back in the 1980’s. One American woman in a group of four women lost her purse and passport. Very sad. Back then the culprits were teenagers with jackets over their arms …. In summer!

⁠I’m Romanian. The Gypsy are also called “Roma”, starting with 1971 1st World Romani Congress. Apart from changing-attributing denominations, there were no serious measures, solutions for integration in the normal society. Also, the problem is that right now, the legal system does not care, prevent or cover this kind of “activity”. I can tell you though, from what I’ve seen in Romania, this community is excessively affluent, with a really decadent lifestyle, extravagant villas and high-end cars. There are also exceptions, with hard-working people, and some are highly educated.

The roma are on another level. The prisons system doesnt even know their language

Thank you for your kind advices. God bless you in abundance. Italy, Paris, London are beautiful countries unfortunately all these pick pockets gave them a bad name. We are afraid to go to these countries where you cannot enjoy your trip peacefully. Imagine saving all the way for a trip and all your money was gone in a split second, I will never visit these countries again. Once bitten twice shy.

Every traveler in the world needs to see this video! If you are a parent and your kids is about to travel, make sure you let them watch this video from start to finish! Thank you very much for uploading this very informative video!

Omg 😱 that’s HORRIBLE 😢I feel sorry for the kids🥲 being taught to be thieves at such a young age!

That is Rome. On top of pickpocketing. If not no 1 , it’s on top 4.I was a victim last year by young Moroccan immigrants.

Not just in Rome, Paris too. Children were used to block my way onto the metro, pretending to have a fight. My husband and baby were on the train and the kids were between us. The older of the three had her hand in my bag. I was so shocked I hit her arm and she quickly moved away as I jumped on the train. This was in 1976.

A similar thing happened to me in Madrid on the subway a few years ago, a guy blocked me getting on while a tried to pick my back pocket, fortunately I felt it and ran off with two other guys on the train.

Thank you for making this video. May you be happy and blessed.

Very insightful video, in recent days small crimes like pickpockets are increasing anywhere in Europe, not only in Rome. We should all be cautious and some tourists from a safe country could be an easy target. So, spreading info online actually helps someone from getting their belongings stolen.

Not Roman, but Roma, in English.

This is such a great video! It is very drtailed and explains what is happening and the roles each thief plays. Thank you for sharing and posting. I am glad you, and your family are safe, and unharmed during this incident.

Growing up in Europe, I’ve definitely learned to always be ware of your belongings. Always keep your things close to you and not walking around with expensive items. One tip I could add is, if you have a backpack and you are entering the subway or train, always put it in on your stomach so you can always see your bag. If someone is an extra nice to you, always doubt them at first. Think about why they are being nice to you and what their intentions are. Stay safe!

The same thing happened to me in Rome a few years ago. I wanted to get on the train and was wondering why a young woman was blocking my way. I had to push her away. The young woman and an older woman were on the train. They both got off at the next train station. A short time later I realized that my wallet had been stolen!

@@LGAussie Unfortunately I didn't see this warning. I was in Rome with my daughters in 2016. We were outside Rome, my daughters ran ahead and I wanted to be the last to get on the train. The platform seemed empty and the train wasn't full either. So I guess I didn't pay attention to my bag. And I was completely confused when this young woman (not Italian) blocked my way in the door. I was so distracted by it that I don't think I noticed anyone was behind me (a young boy? I can not remember). Thank you for your interest, I like to tell the story to warn others and show how something like this can happen. It wasn't fun to rush to the police at the station in Rome (so difficult to find) block the bank cards and report the theft. I was also stupid enough to pocket the children's ID cards too . Luckily I had taken photos and we were able to fly home.
