    Thanks to tourists getting all the pickpockets attention, french locals are mostly safe. I never had an issue. That’s why I’d like to say to American tourists: come on, just need to chill out. It’s just a wallet and phone. Give it away, you’ll have a great story to share when you get back home.

      “I just got back from France! The nicest local I met was the guy that picked my pocket and never said anything to me”

      How enlightened of you. After all, it’s not like Americans really need their documents, money, or phones in a foreign country.
