Rail Stations in Europe are filled with pickpockets.

Amsterdam:
Saw an older lady reach into a open purse of one women who was looking
at the big board at the station so quickly it was like lightning.

Milan:
Saw a multi person crew working the station near the escalator and
where the train walkways meet the station.

Paris:
Multiperson crew.

tip:
Look for the people that don't have luggage.

Fight back? We were talking about a prostitute. It was consensual sex, but
apparently the consent was contingent upon payment.


It was breach of contract. It was also technically rape, but since rape
laws tend to be all or nothing, applying a rape law here would be very
unjust.

I spent last summer's holiday in a Middle Eastern desert where the
shade temperature was 45 degrees C and I didn't see a cloud for
two weeks. Never felt any discomfort or visual difficulty that
sunglasses would have helped with. Where do you go that's more
extreme? Yes, I know you may need them in a mountain snowfield at
midday. But in *Edinburgh* for crying out loud?


Wear them every day, from sunrise to sunset.

Sometimes even when overcast.

For me, sunglasses have psychological effect of making it
seem cooler. =R=

Following up to Mxsmanic

you should join law enforcement, I only succeeded in driving them
away from me.


They don't like being noticed. If you conspicuously notice them, they
move on.


but not out of the general area, just away from you.
