pickpockets are everywhere today and for many years. It only common sense that keeps you away from it. I have been to a lot more complicated cities, my word, and never been pickpocketed or seen one either. And I carry my wallet in my back pocket!
However, I had friends recently pickpocked here in Montparnasse, they were with baseball cap, roller bags with AA tags on them,and flipping a map all over the damn terminal,; well welcome to my neighborhood tourists. Somebody got to live off something Lol!!!
I amm mean i know sorry ::)
