I don't know if I'm allowed to post this here, but just returned from several days in Rome and a Med cruise. I cannot tell you how may stories I heard about people being robbed in Italy. It was shocking.
One story I heard was a woman booking a hotel room at the desk at Termini Station and her purse was taken.
Another was a woman waiting at the train station in San Marino. A guy said there was something on her back. She said it looked and smelled like vomit. When she turned to see it he took her purse.
One more was about two young women who approached a man, each took him by an arm as if to flirt while a third ran up and grabbed his wallet.
So if this post stays here and you get to read it BEWARE.
