People Warned Me About Pickpockets In Barcelona. So I Made This…

Lul of the day.

Are you sure???

Ann Ros'a haha

if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all!

Why would you believe ANYTHING published on the daily mail????

Elliott: I take everything the Daily Mail with a grain of salt, but I trust it more than some random Internet post making a vague non-point. In this case, the data is based on a 2009 TripAdvisor study as mentioned in the article. And Jamie: No, actually I won't know the real deal if I live somewhere because statistics are objective and my day-to-day experiences (even if I try to inform myself from friends and acquaintances) are quite unreliable. Even people who live in a city for many years will be potentially worse informed about its crime rates than someone who spends about 5 minutes researching the topic. And no, I don't believe everything on FB too, and I am not sure why you are attacking my post (which contained a source, for better or for worse)rather than Ana's which just pulled the concept of Barcelona having "no more pickpockets than in any other city of the world" out of thin air. Why do you choose to believe her post and not mine?

You are quite right though that I should have checked more in depth about the list. In fact, the original source has the Top 10 cities in the world (not Europe): Top 10 cities worldwide to be on alert for pickpockets 1. Barcelona, Spain 2. Rome, Italy 3. Prague, Czech Republic 4. Madrid, Spain 5. Paris, France 6. Florence, Italy 7. Buenos Aires, Argentina 8. Amsterdam, Netherlands 9. Athens, Greece 10. Hanoi, Vietnam Hmmm, interesting.

Wayne, and a dash of “GTFOH with that s**t” as well. LOL

Daily mail is fear mongering b******t - take their negative nastiness with a pinch of salt

Thanks Wayne, I never thought of that! It's not like I wrote almost literally the same thing in my next post and then carried on and quoted the ranked original list (not compiled by the Daily Mail - you will have to read my post to find out!) where Barcelona is number one.

Julian, the same exact story has been published in many different publications. In fact, the original list is ranked, Barcelona being number 1.

Because it is in the Daily Mail doesn't make it true! They have a track record of racist anti foreigner discrimination.

Who cares that it was in the top 5 whatever! Do you know what other countries rate states in the US? States that I would never be afraid to walk around in! You don't know the real deal until you live somewhere,, but then again you probably believe everything on fb too.....
