Recent (and rather thrilling, may I say!) episode in Rome: I got on a train at the metro in Tiburtina and was standing not far from the door (Mrs sitting literally next to the door). The carriage got pretty crowded, to the point that there were people face-to-face with (kissing) the door, à la sardines basically. Next station, again, with the carriage packed to the brim, nobody was able to get on however, as soon as the doors started closing with the train ready for departure, somebody (from outside) was swift enough to put a hand in and nick a mobile phone (there were a couple of young girls facing the door and messing up with their phones). Train departs, girl screaming in tears without her iPhone...
