Top tip: Watch out for pickpockets at all times

I'm not a dead ringer for Charles Bronson but not an easy target at all and got done top of the Main Street West End Thu night.

Thought it wouldn't happen to someone like me and ended up assaulting possibly the wrong person or possible accomplice.

Skinny green jacketed guy came from the side and I felt it but he must've been way too quick as he was gone. Too wrecked to remember much.

Anyway moral is, don't think it would happen to me, no shrinking violet, know the West End - they are pretty fearless and efficient.
 
Really get on my tits that, least you got to give his accumplice a slap. I reckon they all work in 2.s or 3.s. my missus usually wears a bum bag and put cash etc in that. Never had a prob
 
Spoke to a DJ who opened at Es Paradis, he was walking along in the club, right hand side as you go in and 2 guys bumped into him at the same time' felt both of them go into his front pockets, he grabbed one of them who gave back his wallet but made a sharp exit but the other one got his memory stick - Spanish or Italian he reckoned ...ruined his vibe for the next few days
 
I don't condone violence but if I caught a 1 of them little rats with there hands in my pockets I wouldn't think twice to sticking 1 on them! Vermin the lot of them. I dread to think how much they make per night.

I'm with you I'm not a violent person but if I catch someone with hands in my pocket my instinct will be to throw one (6ft 3 and 100kg so it won't tickle)
 
West end pickpockets are sadly pretty good at what they do. If your shorts/trousers have pockets you can button up use them! Makes it harder work for theives to get in, I also travel quite lightly leave the phone in the hotel and just take cash/bank card out with you minus the wallet. Having empty looking pockets makes you less interesting to these swines.

If walking back by myself I keep my hands in my pockets, the folks who want to dance or the suspiciously sober folks asking for directions at 5/6 am aren't so keen on talking to you then
 
I've been a victim before this year I've bought a leather phone case with a hand strap. Simple tying the hand strap to the piece on my shorts where a belter goes through

Was at privelege for supermartxe other night. Was my missus 1st time in ibiza and I clocked my eyes on a couple of 40/50 year old blokes working together in there eying people's stuff up including my missus bag. 1 min they was 10 metres away from her next they were either side of her. Swiftly pulled her away but just shows how easy pickings you are if your not looking out for it. To be honest I thought they stuck out a mile away
 
Ive just come back from Benidorm and it was the same. A couple tried telling my mate the cashpoint doesnt work as he put his card in they tried to type his pin code in, so just as the card came out he grabbed it quick turned and hit him square in the face proceeding the other one to run.

Wankers just have your wits about you

I don't get why they were trying to put in the code? They didn't know about the code before hand did they?

Yeah had something similar from the airport in Madrid, it's amazing how obvious they can be spotted if you're got your wits about you. Two blokes got on at either end of the carriage, eye contact, came and stood behind me (I had my backpack facing the middle of the carriage), could see them both eyeing up my backpack and then each other as they moved closer until one was stood next to me and the other came and stood the other side. Soon as I turned around and kept making eye contact with the bloke immediately next to me they both got off at the next station.

Because they said it didnt work, doing it the way my friend was.

Either way its quiet obvious they will try anything and everything
 
I was walking back to my hotel last night going past the restaurants in San An and some scumbag did what I can only describe as a little dance bumping into me. I knew straight away something wasn't right and checked my pocket to find my phone missing. I turned round straightaway to see the scum holding my phone saying you've just dropped this. He quickly scooted off once I got my phone back off him but I had a lucky escape and despite it being my first night I had my wits about me unlike other times heading back from the west end. Hopefully if anyone does the little shimmy infront of you check your pockets straight away. I was wearing long shorts which are slightly baggy tbf so I won't be wearing them the rest of the holiday now!
 
How does the little dance work? They actually come up to you and dance and put hands on your hips? Guess they are on the look out for people wearing lose shorts, cant see it working so well with jeans...
