Wallet snatched from closed handbag in Barcelona subway after visiting the barrio quarter. Had been tailed into and from the subway and realized it was gone within 30 seconds after the "bump". Alas, too late. The hotel concierge listened to my sob story and recommended a local place for dinner, where I went with a girlfriend. After dinner, the waiters surrounded us when we left for hugs and a photo. I felt a little better until I realized that the blackberry I had used during dinner to contact my bank and put into my purse was now also missing. And to think I left a tip... Two hits in one day were enough. Adios Barcelona...
