Madrid:Pickpockets on the Metro - 08/08/03 04:43 PM

My wife and I just got back from Europe where we spent 4 days in the Madrid area. we went to a different place each day. Toledo and Sevilla.
One day we were going I think it was to Ventas the Bull ring, the metro was somewhat crowded not real bad but a young girl was standing in front of us. She looked kind of trashy, and had a shopping bag in front of her. The trick is she had my wife's purse half way open. With the shopping bag in front of her you can't see her hands. The strange thing is the bag has hardly anything in it. That's the trick they tried on us but we always stood in the corner against the wall so we weren't a very good mark. Besides that everything else went pretty well except the blazing heat in Madrid eek
