@Beinrich_Bimmler Good Idea! Carry booby traps that look like cellphone and wallets, that would take out their fingers as soon as they open them.

We used to hang scum like this. Now they can get away with this for years with virtual impunity and even boast about it on TV.

Romanians getting singled out unfairly here. All the pick pockets I have come across in London over the last 3 years have been Spanish or Italian
