Pickpocket in Rome on 24 Nov 2023 @ 1514 **Updated Description**

- While riding on the subway (metro) in Rome, Italy, a group of ladies made their rounds approaching different people. At first, I didn't think much of it, but when I noticed they all had different stances and weren't talking with each other and instead focused on different viewpoints with three distinct tasks... I figured something was up. Thankfully, I caught on quick enough and I wasn't robbed.
UPDATE:
What I didn't show in this video were my actions before and after the 42 seconds of time I shared with everyone.
Before they targeted me, I noticed the tail end of what appeared to be a failed attempt on someone else. While I wasn't 100% sure I saw what I thought I saw, I emptied my pockets when they weren't looking and turned on my (very obvious, shoulder-mounted, Insta360) camera - just to be on the safe side.
Within 30 seconds of the failed attempt, the ladies repositioned themselves to where you see them in the video and engaged me in conversation. It was at this moment I realized they would try to rob me. Since I knew I didn't have anything for them to take and that my backpack was secured, there was no real justifiable reason, in Italy, to go hands on or do a takedown - as I've been trained in jobs past.
As soon as the train came to a halt and upon exiting, I began yelling to others nearby that they were pickpockets. I kept doing this until they got on the next train and I made sure those in that car knew the group of ladies were pickpockets.
In Rome, reacting as I would have here in the US would have landed me in jail (abroad). While the police in Rome will do nothing of substance, me putting my hands on them and physically neutralizing the threat (as I would do here in the states) would be reported as a violent crime on my part. As you noticed, several people knew what was going on and they did abso-fucking-lutely nothing about it. If I were to depend on them to be a witness for the police, I'd be toast as it would be the word of three ladies against mine with no hope for an independent live witness. Forget that the camera was recording, in the heat of the moment, only what can immediately be seen/heard is what matters until things settle down and people are explaining things at the police station - while abroad. As a US Citizen, I do not have the same rights as I do here in the US to defend myself and/or my property in the same way when traveling abroad. Please never forget this.
Again, I had nothing in my pocket, so I had advanced knowledge that while she was committing a petty, non-violent crime, there would not be any loss on my part. Did I want to do something before the train stopped? You bet your A$$ I did. What I wanted to do would have been interpreted as overly excessive and I was only trying to get my tired self back to the hotel to enjoy the hot tub to rid myself of their stench.
So, if you spot a rosy cheeked group of ladies who reek of ripe underarms ... keep your hands in your pockets and watch for the person not engaging you in conversation to not be close enough to snatch something from you.
it's degenerating that the guys noticed just keep silence😢
The reasons are various: from simple carelessness, to wanting to avoid being involved in possible scuffles, given that pickpockets are incredibly arrogant and aggressive, given that they cannot be touched even with a sheet of paper.
@@KnightofspadesI bet they wouldnt be that agressive after getting an elbow in the face. Most ppl know who they are, and does nothing.
Hard times = strong men
Easier times = weak men
Weak men = hard times
We're fucked up
@@Caduzao. The fact is that these women are always pregnant/fake pregnant, and they know that they cannot be touched even with a flower.
Even the police, apart from pushing them away for two seconds, can't do anything, since, legally, their hands - those of policeman, i mean - are tied.
It’s even more degenerating that most of the people would
the dude in the back holding onto that backpack for dear life 🤣
She is not italian, most likley east european romani.
They are well organised and pay "tax" to local italian mafia.
Thats why no one is reacting, not even the police.
More like, that money is sent home to their gypsy relatives and they build "palaces" (as in, mansions and what not.) in remote villages. Meanwhile the native people in said villages struggle to even buy a loaf of bread from the corner store.
Italian mob has been reduced to this- LOL!
We’re do you come up with this nonsense 😂 pickpocketing doesn’t have a race or gender or mafia clan it can be any 1 even you’re sisters no 1 really knows what ethnicity she is could be European American Middle East or my next door neighbors
we all know who these people are by their appereances
Becareful of roma people
Rome police need to do more the city is appearing on the dont travel list
I wish nobody traveled there. We hate tourists
@@Queerz4Palesteinthen Rome would go bankrupt.
A friend of mine who travels all around the world for work used to tell me that in high pickpocket areas he would carry a couple empty wallets on him with a note inside that said “ha ha nice try”.
good idea. My fake wallet will have a pic of my butthole
Groups of 3-5 all, Roma descent, operating in every EU city with overcrowded public transportations. You can really recognize them from afar. They usually have 1-2 males as a muscle in case someone caught them. We used to had them in Athens GR metro system, but ever since one of them, ended up in the train tracks, under "mysterious" circumstances, they are avoiding the metro and are only concentrated at Plaka, Monastiraki and Acropoli. It's sad, but only one way to deal with them.
How do you know for a fact those are actually roma or Romanian and not some other European group
Swift public justice is what’s needed here. Not involve the law.
Well done capturing this and sharing with us. 🙏🏻
this girl is appearing in all sorts of videos. she famous, haha
😂
Two thieves just tried to pickpocket me, they tried to unzip my leg pocket in Rome after that i wanted to report them because lots of cameras around but officers really didnt care ,thieves are really smart he noticed where my wallet is easly, thanks to God i was aware of them, they will keep try until become succesfull
Yeah, Italian police aren't gonna do shit about thieves and scammers. I watched a gang of fake taxi drivers operating right in front of a police officer
Today my aunt was robbed, and guess what? The police can't do anything, here in Europe is where crime really pays
I'm Italian. The situation here is getting out of hand. It is so bad that there are several people trying to do "private justice", one of them is Simone Cicalone. He is documenting the situation in Rome, as he is Roman. As an Italian i will say that, while taking the metro is for sure very convenient, the best thing a tourist can do is to take a taxi.
Europe protects criminals, especially if they're third world imports.
@@KelvinMatthams The best way to deal with them is to be careful, for example, I put my money in my phone case and put it in my pants, what are they going to do? Grab my balls and rob me? 🤣
They should come to America and give this a shot. lol.
Yeah there you get robbed at gun point
you mean america, the united states of looting blacks? ive seen that on the news once or twice
They wouldn’t survive in America. The citizens don’t wait for police.
@@LGAussie Not even that, most immigrants come from countries that thieves get beaten on the spot, and they make a lot of the american pop
That exact person tried to pickpocket me today
like actually
Damn we need to prank them. Have like a pocket full of melted chocolate or something or a purse opened but have like fake monopoly money
@@MikeyLee559 I was planning to put a fake phone sticking out of my pocket.
@@Randomthings40901or put hole in yer pocket pants like other comments mentioned,free hjobs😂
yuh and ?
I do t understand how people can’t feel their hands. Especially a zipper pocket.
They are very smooth...
@@balintszollosi8715no they’re not!! People just leave valuables in easy to reach spots.
They are being bumped by the thief's bag at the same time so it distracts them.
People are stupid af.
Evil knows no age or gender.
Walk around Italy with holes in your pockets, free handJs
Lol😂 great idea
@mario# i'm eighty years old , they wouldn't find anything .
😂why not help her breathe through her forehead
She’s covering her hand with the bag.
Peoples need helping each other is this situation
Fake wallet Dissapears and she gets a beatdown. This not possible?
it is , when u have free time and energy u can do that . most of ppl inside are going work or return
It is in her blood, she can't resist
like me
wait until you realize there’s more pickpocketers in France (white, blonde people) & stealing is not exclusive to any race
@@CookiesCreations-tm5ts A Romani with died blonde hair is still a Romani.
Alert alert pick pocket here
Was it my imagination but did I see several people witnessing the theft and saying NOTHING…..
Yes, you did. It's a crying shame.
the same in spain, same people
Independent women!
It’s the same people in every other video.
James Bond pick pocket proof iron jaw cigarette holder. Snap! Ahhhh! lol!
Hi,
After spending a five night stay in Rome, exiting today for Lisbon. Rome is a romantic place despite the many negative things that you see , such as Homeless people around the Vatican in St Peters Square and many people asking for a cigarette or money. There are many people from Bangladesh who are working in the Service Sector.
My main point here , is about the pickpockets in Rome Metro Trains. As my wife and I were to enter the Train, a couple with a pram , blocked the entrance. Another lady with a hat covering her left palm tried to open the bag of my wife. Simultaneously, another man with a jacket covering his hand , opened my sling bag. Sensing something is wrong, I noticed that my wife's sling bag was half open and mine too. Half open. As we got altered, and reminded about the Pickpockets in our country, we moved away.
Fellow travellers may read this and please be careful in bus/ Metro in Rome as all four ( the couple with the pram, two pickpockets) were a gang.
Dude there’s multiple video of the same ppl pick pocketing
I guess we all have to start wearing body cams 😊
Lmao at least they wear proper clothes.
Here in Paris theyre still with dirty robes etc
Yeah, you can see the Gyppos a mile away in Paris.
The police are partners, and they all know that they get pickpocket money.
Its so funny how the 1000% true "western ethnicity" from the 1000% true "european continent" never really know who they are 🤣
Unless they have money of course, like the Fingolians who changed not only their culture but also their entire race a few decades ago when they became rich.
What.
Ur captions disappear from the screen waaaaaaaay too quickly 😠 | So, it's difficult 2 follow what ur saying.
Thankfully youtube has a pause button for those with reading exceptionalities.
I just slowed it down to x25.. You can see whats happening then.
I Don,t Like Pick pockets At All
Who does?
This city is so bad 🤣😂
And they continue to keep them all, in 10 years it will be worse
I don't know what those people brings to the world, they just use ressources, are they really useful ?
We have these Romanian types in Britain....they do the same thing over here.
They’re not Romanians. They’re Roma people and are a ethnic group in Romania but they are all originally from northern India. Very sly
@@harry8201 , Romanians always try to shift the blame on the Roma when they're just as bad if not worse. Nine in ten cash machine frauds in the UK are committed by Romanian gangs These three girls didn't look like Roma to me.
@@nestor942 The klepto absolutely did.
Is this new? Saw nothing like it in 2010. I know it's been bad for decades in France and Italy.
@@harry8201 Look at them. They do not look indian at all. They are very white in complexion and they would be very out of place in India. I think they are definitely mostly from Europe or Middle East. Do not blame india for their behavior
The 2 dudes sitting behind the pickpockets saw the whole thing but didn’t do anything 🤦🏼♂️. In the US, they would have made a big commotion
Exactly. Here in US, we care... even for people we don't know!
@@desertfox5361Yea maybe stop living in your bubble.
Americans are huge cowards, that is false.
@@dickriggles942 They have become really big cowards but that is mainly because no one wants to get accused of racism, so its miserable.
Liberalism. SMH.
Huh???
on the money brah
こういう人らってだいたい同じ年齢に見えるけど、老人のスリもいるんかな？
They are the managers of these
the camera was not really obvious
She scummy
👏👏👍👍
Thats kleptos a qt
Europe has lagged behind Russia by 25 years, pickpocketing has long died in Russia
In Russia, the government pickpockets you. Putin himself has said there's blatant corruption in Russia. This is all in official documents in Russian government websites.
@@CadetPolovitz 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
@@CadetPolovitzyou absolute imbecile
Is it because pickpockets there actually get killed if caught?
@@Britinsweden because he tells a truth?
@cicalone Prendete queste
Israeli settlers?
According to a few of my friends, they believe the ladies to be Romanian gypsies.
@@BeauE315 💯That's their typical trade.
Jews are not a race.
Same same
Stupid.
They dont look from Romania !! They’re not !!!
They are réal italians from the south, napoli…
Some people claim they are from India, which is ridiculous because they are white complexion but Indians are way darker
No
@@SpiritualSeeker-oq5pt there are Indians whiter than this in India. You will just never see them because they stay in their towns and villages, and don't infest the west like a plague.
They say there are many words similar between Gujarat and Gypsies.@@SpiritualSeeker-oq5pt
Gug
pipoquete
HAPPY THANKSGIVING FOLKS.
U speak greek because you use words like klepto. Are you in greece?
Kleptomaniac I think he meant
@IbooRockbell that is also greek. Klepto is theft kleptomaniac meaning obessesive with theft even though ya in english its for a disorder.
Italy, Rome
Yes, kleptomania is a word that stems from ancient greek, but it is an extremely common word all around the world. Saying that someone speaks greek because they use the word klepto is like saying someone speaks latin because they use the word manual.
Cute girls, they could just get a decent husband.
Please shush vile little vultures stealing from actual hard working people
Stop simping man!
Or they can just work as prostitutes. Not a decent job either at least they offer service to lonely men and make money in exchange
gross@@BambyRosalles
We don’t have pickpockets in Israel 🙂
but you have terrorists and bombers
you send them in our country
your whole shtick is stealing land from others, pickpockets is not even a problem to consider.
How is pickpocketing worse than genocide?
In the stolen land, you schmuck grab and steal in daylight without shame
We have blacks in the USA.
What does that have to do with the video. Such a random statement lol.
I Belgium, we have trees.
facts
@@simonsays5050 what do you mean?, i'm not agree with you lol
@@simonsays5050Are trees in belgium criminals and rob people?
@@simonsays5050 trees are not violent thugs. Can we trade you some blacks for trees?
get a job and stop victimising your fellow citizens!
Beautiful woman
Marry her and pickpockets together like a beautiful married couple.
Not beautiful, they look like old ladies in young bodies. Strange genetic look.
@@tpc3347 Lol, Ashkenazi. Those are random romanian gypsies. You can witness those all over Europe.
Poor taste. Looks like a witch at such a young age.
@@user-ko5ul7yi1xI want her to shit in my mouth.
With looks like that she can take anything she wants ❤️
with a mentality like that you're part of the issue
A single teenage mum with three children can expect to get 230 Euros per month from the Romanian government to live on. If these people are stealing, it is not to get rich it is to help their families to survive in Romania. So before you throw the first stone, think
Boohoo then don’t become a single teenage mom
Your pathetic life choices don’t give you the right to commit crimes against others
Then be a stripper maybe sell your self then to sell peoples things
No, regard. They make palaces and shit, most of these people actually live really well and make a shit ton of money from not just pickpocketing but other illegal activities. Check what phones they have and what cars pick them up once their shift is over. What an idiotic comment. Even if it were true, get a job. Don't hurt others. It's that simple.
does not give them a right to steal ...."don't throw the first stone"? How about "thou shall not steal"?
They are..well, you know wich ethnicity they are( or else youtube bans) , they are always them. Once they were called nomads, but the don't move away anymore.
Poxies
Most of them are from eastern Europe (Zingari in italian), but now most of them are from south america.
most of them are natives
@@krukkykrukky nomads born in Italy, but still nomads
@@ThaurusFury no white natives, descendants from generations of natives. I saw it and they were pure natives. but what? thieves
Spazzatura ROM classica .
Perché non le fermano?
Mettono in evidenza solo le cose negative dell italia per fare volutamente brutta pubblicita. Ma negli altri paesi non ci sono i borseggiatori?????
I thought yt people were; never mind 🪑
These are Italians dumbass
@@TridentRatWhat is that supposed to mean?
Not White.
Look again.(Or read comments)😅
@@dcush2090
Not White.
Look again.
@@TridentRat These look like Gypsies.
