Stories from Rome, Part 2
Speaking of riff raff … I got pickpocketed on the subway. The train was incredibly crowded, and I was just worried about the kids, since, being a lot lower than eye-level, they tend to get squished. Somehow, someone opened my velcroed pocket and grabbed my wallet without me noticing.
Fortunately, I lost very little cash (only about €?20), and I was able to turn off my credit cards before they even tried to use them. All in all, not such a big deal. But it kind of reminded me that even though I live here and feel comfortable, I still need to keep an eye out on the Metro.
