Pickpocket Gangs

Funny, but also truth inside. In Europe for example, pickpocket gangs are almost exclusively not from the country they “work” in. Several gangs are east or south-east europeans, many gypsys among them. It is a crime-tourism. The local gouvernments often can do little against them because of the concepts of decriminalization, tolerance and multi-culturalism. Often police can’t do a thing but let them go free again, because the boss of the gang employs minors or they just say so and destroyed their ID’s. The situation is really bad here in Paris – police main response is to warn tourists in the metro about pickpockets, because they cannot arrest them even if caught.
