Paris Pickpocket girl gang waiting for victims #OhmyParis2024

I had a girl open my bag and do this to me. She grabbed the wrong small purse inside… only to find herself with 4 tampons! 😂

My mom got got back in the early 90’s in the Bronx NY on Fordham Road. She bought a bigger bag and put a rat trap in it. She went back to Fordham with the trap set in the bag. We were walking together and i heard a massive crack and homeboy ripped his hand out of my moms bag while screaming at the top of his lungs! His finger had to be broke. He ran down the block and disappeared by V.I.M. Everybody was dying from laughter. Great times!!!

A group of three or more girls tried and targeted me on the metro today, they quickly scurried away and pretended they couldn’t understand English when I threatened to break all the fingers on the one trying to get into my rucksack. Worst part of the whole thing was one of them had a baby in a pram, the bystander syndrome here in Paris is shocking…not one single person around me tried to give me a little nudge to warn me of what was happening. Metro was packed so people definitely took notice especially after I shouted at them. Ridiculous, I hate working here 😅

NEVER pick up something for a woman that drops it. For example a water bottle. They work together on a train and try to surround you by appearing to be so polite to let you go before them while exiting a train for example. I had a young pregnant girl on a train in Italy suddenly drop a water bottle. My friends and I were already suspicious as we were approaching our stop. We all just stood there, looking at the bottle laying on the ground. 😂

I had an elderly woman try to pick my pocket at the Garden of Versailles. She bumped into me rather hard, and when I looked down, my over the shoulder tiny purse had been slightly unzipped. I was smart enough to have everything of importance in tight pockets.

I experienced this in Paris, a girl shouted oh theres a ring on the ground, is it yours? Me being from South Africa knew better than to take her seriously, just ignored her.

I was with my sister in Paris. We are both from New Zealand but she lived in England since she was 22 and I was visiting her. I traveled to many countries on my own but we went to Paris together as she was working there. We were at a restaurant and I had my handbag next to me whereas she had her large handbag on the floor. When the table next to us left one guy started walking towards it and I wondered why he got up from a small table to go to a table for 8. I felt something was off and I said to my sister pick up your handbag now. She did it but told me I was paranoid (coming from the one who regularly got her phone or wallet stolen or she left them behind). I looked him in the eye and he turned around to go in the opposite direction. The next night we went to another restaurant and randomly the couple that were sitting on the other side of us the night before were sitting next to us. I started a conversation and the lady said that we were lucky because the people who took the table we had got their wallet stolen. I turned to my sister and said do you still think I'm paranoid. All this to say that locals need to have their eyes open as well not just us tourists.

We all should go and pickpocket them! 😂

This kind of bs pisses me off!🤬 If people would only put that same effort and energy into working for themselves, instead of taking from others.......

Wow they're blending in more now. They used to stick out with the long skirts and buns in their hair. We lived in Paris for 4 years and in the big tourist spots you could pick them out a mile away.

Paris needs to control this problem, it’s not normal and even kids are doing this? That’s so bad, poor values and morals.

Don’t let them surround you in a packed train even during hopping in and out, that is when they steal. Always put your purse, bags in front of you with your hands on them. They are in the airports too pretending to be tourists, travelers but same modus operandi.

Is there missing footage of them pickpocketing? All I can see is four girls meeting and getting on the train.

I got robbed in turkey in the train too. By Syrian women dressed all in black and they pushed me in different directions, one on each side and one in the back. So I didn’t realize the one in the back had already opened my bag and took my wallet. Thank God I didn’t have my passport and all my money because I was warned by the hotel concierge if not I would have been screwed in a foreign country

Paris doesn’t even look European what a shame

😢😢😢😢 AS A PARISIAN I CAN MOST DEF CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE HUNTERS AND MEAN TOO. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR DISTANCES. THEYRE VERY QUICK

Look like the girl in the grey shorts has picked up something more than just a pocket. Like some crabs. Lol

A woman used her child to pick pocket me in Sacred Heart Church in Paris...in which was an epic fail...lol. i took my hands out of my pockets for three seconds. Then, i put it back in my pockets. The funny part is the child's hand slid in my pocket the same time as mine did. The mother was mad that i caught the child. My pocket was empty anyway. My money was hidden elsewhere. And while exiting the church, on the ground it said, "Beware of pick pocketers." 🤦🏾‍♀️

Went to a Celine store in Paris. They keep the doors locked. You have to knock, the security guard lets you in. They ask you what you need. I can understand why.
