In Indonesia, if a pickpocket is caught, they get beaten up, it can be a crisis if no one stops them until the police come, and if it's a female pickpocket, the women punish them by pulling the pickpocket's hair/slapping/tearing the pickpocket's clothes until the police come to arrest them. It is most practical to be given a public punishment first. 😅

In my wife's country Philippines pickpockets or snatchers are usually severely beaten up by people when caught before the police arrives to take the person away. Police is not interested in the beating of the pickpocket or snatcher, only in his crime. A sister-in-law of mine became victim of a snatcher once. He was caught by bystanders within seconds and could hardly walk to the policecar after the beating he received by ordinary people.

Yes, but it only doesn't happen in countries that are super strict (as they should, also Singapore is sooo small it's like a city so i think it's really different and not comparable with Spain or other major cities in Europe.)

In December 2019, I got pickpocketed when exiting metro to La Rambla street. She (the thief, a young lady walking behind me) stole my wallet with two credit cards, €100 cash, my IDs and most importantly a photo of my two daughters, which was the unique copy from their childhood. In less than 5 minutes before I managed to disable the cards, she was able to withdrew €1800 as well. I was in complete shock and went to 3 police stations just to get a paper to prove the theft. The police were as careless as they could be. And there was a long queue of people of the same fate and some got their entire belongings stolen and some were crying. I think the Spanish police is complicit in this scheme and that is why they don’t take any action to prevent it. And thieves work in a network and you should never use your credit cards to buy a metro ticket as some of them may be watching you entering your pin code from afar.

I visited Barcelona in 2010. I stayed on La Rambla. Very noisy all night. A friend was standing still just people watching near our hotel. A man approached him and asked if he could tell him the time. He told the man the time and he left. A couple minutes late two men approached him and flashed credentials and badges say they were an undercover task force surveilling the man who had just approached him. They asked if he was asked to purchase drugs by the man or if he had tried to sell drugs to the man. They began to aggressively question about other things. My friend began to worry he might be in trouble with the law. They demand he produce identification immediately. He pulled his wallet from his pocket and the men snatched it and ran off. Watch out in Barcelona. There are many scams. Also we were warned prior to arrival about the African prostitutes being pick pockets. They are very aggressive and telling them no politely has no effect. They will come at you even in the presence of your children trying to hold your hands and arms from both sides to rob you.

Many teachers spend their time going around knocking on doors trying to get the families to send their kids to school. It's hard.

Great job Elliot! Thanks for exposing the pickpocketers!

Es una pena como esta quedando Barcelona!!! Un saludo Elliot!!!

[@KevinReyesm]

A few years back a group of us were on the train and saw a guy swipe a girl’s purse… worse thing for him was we all saw and we beat the shit out of him… some will say that’s bad but I personally especially after seeing that 2nd guy just can’t see how you would t wanna beat them up. Thanks for bringing these ppl to the light and help those that go to these places to be aware of the possibility of getting robbed… too keep their belongings safe 🙏🏽

During my one year in Barcelona, I got stolen and lost almost 6000 Euros, and several time almost got robbed, and several times got scammed. It's so upset.

[@AdventureElliot]

Can you elaborate? Where did you live? How did you lose the 6000? How were the attempted robberies ?

[@canalesjuan356]

@@AdventureElliot my first experience was on my fifth day after landed in Barcelona. Honestly I've already raised my guard and my expectations since I did some homework about the security in Barcelona. But I still underestimated it. I was at the McDonald located around Baceloneta. I chose a seat at the corner of the restaurant so I assumed that anybody who came to my area would be seen. So I put my bag aside. And It's gone after 5 minutes. I don't even know how Those thief master did it. I tried to ask for help but the stuff refused to check the cameras. I went to the police station, they don't even try to make a record.

[@canalesjuan356]

@@AdventureElliot I remembered clearly that they told me they were changing shift So Maybe I can come back in an hour or sth. I said I can stay and wait. Suddenly all of the police officers turned and looked at me like I'm a dumb. So I realized that it's just an excuse. I gave up, left, and reported in another remote police station later for documents. I lost thousands of cash and all the cards. Oh, I blocked my card, but they still tried to use it so I got informed about the location(and update to date), I told this useful information to the police and looking forward to some help. They said, it's useless.

[@canalesjuan356]

The scamm was happened in Gracia neighborhood where I was living for half a year. Something stinks "dropped" on me and a lady showed up to clean for me with her tissues, another guy showed up with a bottle of water and tried to help. I didn't realize it was a scamm until they suddenly disappear before I got completely clean but guard my bag all time left them no chance to touch. I figured it out by their exact opposite attitude.

[@canalesjuan356]

I was about to leave a mall when three young men came in. My sixth sense sensed that they were looking back at me after passing me. They followed me until I came to a neighborhood that wasn't so crowded, and they tried to disturb me, saying random things, asking where I was from, asking me for a fire, asking me for hi five, I didn't answer anything, holding on to my phone and walking with my head down. They got annoyed and started swearing at me, and I suddenly sped up and ran to a restaurant. They left. I know the robbery would happen if I stayed another 5 minutes

Thank you very much for your hard work to make Spain safe and peaceful. You are really a hero for all visitors and also for the local.

I hope that all of Spain, France, Italy and Turkey will be cleared of these fraudulent activities and we will start living decent and honorable lives as good people. KZbin is the best tool to help us with this.👏👏👏😄💃👏👏👏

I lived last year in Barcelona Les Corts area and never had any problems with thefts, I rarely used the metro and tried to avoid popular tourist spots. For me, Barcelona is one of the best cities to live in the world, along with Moscow and Tokyo.

As much as I love our Siesta time, we really don't need that during the cooler weather, in the high heat that's why we actually (excuse;) to take our Siesta time, but from fall to spring that's really not necessary, especially with issues like that happening.....

[@D-v-8]

Lived in Raval for many years. Saw all kinds of craziness. Best thing I did was move to Llucmajor.

[@IvdV9700]

I am curious, if a pickpocket gets arrested. Do they get a fine or actually go to jail in Spain?

[@anabella4166]

Just a fine unfortunately.. that’s why it’s such an issue

[@octaviantimisoreanu5810]

@@anabella4166 Spain should have harsher laws for petty crime. A misdemeanor should get you a few months jail time, or at least community service. Just a fine? What are you guys doing??

I remember visiting Barcelona as a child in the 80s. One couple actually got strong arm robbed. Our tour group was on alert the rest of the time there.

[@alexsanglee]

The first 2 pickpockets are Chilean... because of the way they speak... using only Chilean idioms and with a perfect Chilean accent...

[@PaulY.-dt7kv]

I thought you were just playing it safe in the first video, Madrid, but I am very impressed that things just don't get escalated quickly beyond what's happening in the video. Now I wonder if citizen's arrest or use of force to get stolen properties is possible in Spain.
