As a cdawg viewer, I had NO IDEA Pete got married. CONGRATULATIONS, PETE AND YUKI; I hope you have many happy and robless years ahead of you!! And I'm so sorry this happened to you guys on your honeymoon of all times; I hope you're doing better now!

[@QuesoGr7]

Yeah, when he said "Missus" I'm like "what th-when was this?!" lol

[@wesshepard]

I’m pretty sure Pete has been married the whole time they’ve known each other he’s much older than they are.

Never walk alone in capital cities. I'm from Stoke. I don't even walk alone there. I've never had the opportunity to visit London. I'll be on my guard.....as I am here also. People suck..

[@102938475646665]

@@JaneSarah-ji9pt There are plenty of capital cities in the world where you can walk aroud safely and not have to worry about being targeted. Unfortunately, we have lost that luxury in many Western cities. As a Lononder born and bred it saddens me how much crime has increased in my city. Don't get me wrong London has always been a bit rough around the edges but things have gotten a lot worse.

[@cooltwittertag]

​@@JaneSarah-ji9ptidk man ive walked around alone in a lot of cities, including "shady" places in european capitals, people overexaggerate, you're not gonna get stabbed as a dude when walking around those parts of town at night. Getting pickpocketed is way more likely if you're in a capital city (still very rare) and being in a group doesnt change that. Then again the only city anyone ever (tried to) pickpocket me was prague.

[@Jonathan-Shadow]

@@cooltwittertagNonsense. I got robbed 3 times at knifepoint in the 00’s in North London waking back from school (around 3-4pm). It’s way way worse now. Even driving to McDonald’s and just eating you see 3/4 police cars show up to a bowling alley. London is a complete dump. It’s not “exaggerated”.

[@LadyLexieVT]

When Yuki also talked on stream about it a few days later, you could still feel the pain in her voice 😭. The awful thing is that when you get something stolen from you, you feel pissed and angry, but eventually move on. However, if someone else's stuff gets stolen from you, there is an extra feeling of guilt added. Her heart sank when Pete asked about the blue pouch 🥺. Thankfully, you managed to see the humor in it and give Yuki reassurance, as pointing fingers leads to nothing--the only fingers that need to be pointed at are those blaming the thieves themselves, not the victims. I can only hope that this is the first and last time something like this happens to you guys ❤.

[@cagnolin.A]

[@BananahTV]

Most important thing for sure that Yuki was not harmed. I'm deeply saddened to know such good people were struck by this thief. P2 community has yall's back!

I've listened to this story 3 times so far. Once, Live on Twitch. The second, on the KZbin Vod. Lastly, on this video. And I got to say, worth listening to EVERY time. Pete's storytelling skills 10/10 *Chef's* *kiss*

[@LadyLexieVT]

You should also listen to it on Chris's podcast, to complete the circle. The fact that I already know the story and become engaged every time he's telling it is a testament to his entertainment skills.

[@RosieBabyCheeks]

@@LadyLexieVT Truer words have never been said. Pete is the GOAT in storytelling and he always seems to know how to say things in a engaging way. A true showman! I am subscribe to The Abroad In Japan Podcast KZbin channel, but I somehow missed this video. Thanks for the heads up! Now it's time to go listen to the Master do his magic, once more!

[@YuckTradingCo]

Can confirm the area around "Big Ben" is ALWAYS very busy and a huge tourist hot spot, so Yuki was obviously targeted which is extremely infuriating and gross. That being said, I'm glad you guys ended up ok. Just maybe don't walk around a busy touristy area with a bag full of cash and your passport. Separate your bills and spread them around your person so it's not all in one spot.

[@macdre9552]

honestly as cliche saying it is, seeing the picture of you two at the very end still enjoying eachother and finding time to have genuine smiles through all of the chaos of this story makes it all worth it, love that picture.

[@mizuki2264]

It just sucks that London’s like this. I wish I could say that this is a rarity in happening, but it really isn’t. Especially with poverty increasing, theft and stealing of all kinds are becoming more common. I caught someone trying to check if my family’s car was unlocked (to steal it) on camera on two different occasions, then someone screwed off expensive car parts from my neighbours’. These are just some of the things that happen, I feel bad that Yuki had to experience this.

[@KillerTacos54]

Uncle Pete truly is the best storyteller around

[@andorudesu]

So sorry this happened to Yuki and yourself; as a London resident for 15 years, street crime and theft has become a massive issue here of late. Exhaustingly so! At least you were both unharmed, as these robberies can get violent very quickly. Hopefully this doesn't put you off of returning to the UK. Having lived in Japan myself (and recently returned for a holiday) it's so refreshing but also unnerving how much safer it is than most other countries.

[@alaner1383]

I don't think so, street crime and theft have always existed. I really doubt it's a recent problem. Yuki is a woman, and Japan doesn't seem too safe if you're a woman judging by the forced camera shutter-sound on smart phones due to creeps taking pictures of women without their consent. Everything is relative.

[@too_oden2199]

It’s a shame, if it makes you feel better, I’ve lived here a long time and they do specifically target people who look fresh and perhaps unfortunately a little naive to Londons ways. As you said, it’s no one’s fault and it’s a shame these thieves continue to ruin amazing European cities with things like this.

[@RiceFieldsYT]

What a story! Sad that you had to deal with all these problems just within 5 days on your honeymoon man. Also that must've sucked for Yuki as well. But hey, credit where credit's due. Even though you made lots of mistakes, some were bigger than the others. However you still tried your best to fix and make the best out of the situation with your head held high! All that to make sure your wife Yuki has the best experience possible on the honeymoon regardless of the shitty situation. That's a huge win in my book Pete, you've earned my respect! Don't you ever forget that Pete!

[@firefangz]

So glad you guys are safe and sound. Sorry you had such a bad experience in London man, it is a great city and I love living here but you need to be constantly vigilant of everything happening around you, especially in central London (prob a good tip in general to be honest). That in itself can be exhausting especially if you're not used to it. Hopefully you guys have a much better time if you ever come back!

[@-grey]

Noooooo. I want to say that I can't believe that happened here, mate - but growing up in London, I absolutely can. I'm so sorry, man. I'll have to donate to give back on behalf of London. 🙏

[@Big-boned_Pikachu]

I'm really sorry you didn't have the best vacation Pete. It's bad enough that it's so expensive to travel and people dont get to take vacations often enough, but then to have a rough trip on top of that is a bummer. I hope your next trip is a much better one!

Such a great story teller. I’m sorry for what happens to you. Your Chris Broad impressions are so good I thought you asked Chris to say some voice lines. At the end of it all, your honeymoon was surely something you and Yuki won’t forget. congratulations again ✌🏻

[@nemesys0]

I can relate to this so much. My wife is Japanese, I'm Italian from the south of Italy and I've been in London for 14 years. I've never been robbed and my wife got her phone stolen in the first year she was here. These robbers know too well who are the most vulnerable targets and among these the best for them are unaware Japanese tourists. It didn't help that my wife was keeping her phone in the back pocket of her backpack. My mind is just conditioned to think that someone is trying to steal from me at all times, but I had to teach this directly to my wife because in her mind being a thief like that is just unthinkable.

[@miguelcollado5438]

MAN, did i enjoy this!... finally, someone else other then ME that suffers from random BS when traveling with the family. Glad you guys are safe, and Happy New Years!

[@shaunriordan493]

I felt 100% safer at pubs in London than I did at tourist attractions. You could see the people scouting out tourists for money all around them just like in major US cities. Proof that day drinking is the safe alternative at all times.

[@pastense]

Been to London about 4 times and never had such an unfortunate experience! So sorry to hear. But any tourist attraction around the world will be prone to such things. You just gotta be a smart tourist. I NEVER carry that much cash on me, but if you really have to, keep it in the least obvious places. I spread them in different places; inside your socks, secret inside jacket pockets, wedged under a bracelet or watch or armband underneath a shirt, anything but a bag, which is the easiest thing for any thief to steal.

[@lizardwizard8930]

If there's one thing i learned from my law classes, is to READ every exclusion/exemption clauses before booking anything, incase anything bad happens.

[@laurapaglia8229]

(I just listened to Chris's podcast, wanted to leave a little comment, hope it's useful) Pete, I've lived in several cities around Europe including London and Paris. My suggestion, if you really want to move to Europe, is DO NOT MOVE TO PARIS. i moved to Paris a while back, at the end of a 10-year travel spree, hoping to find a more stable home. Instead I found a city where people live on an inhuman scale. Not only was I stressed as in any large city (I'm from Milan and by that time I'd already lived in London and Munich) but the sheer population density makes living together not a very pleasant experience (and it's a huge euphemism). There are around 20.000 people per square km in Paris, against the approx 5.500 people x km2 in London and the 6.000 people x km2 in Tokyo!!! And Parisians are definitely not as polite as Londoners and Tokyoites. I had such negative and absurd experiences in Paris that, even if I thought I might have found my "forever home" I left after only one year. Paris is the place where I learned how to make myself invisible. It was necessary to live there surrounded by people who s'en foutent of everything and everybody. Of course there were many positive experiences too, but the balance is heavily negative. I think you might enjoy Barcelona, there are enough working opportunities and people are more open than in the UK or France but not too crazy, so maybe there could be less of a culture shock. And well, the weather 😊 PS: I met wonderful people in Paris who are still part of my life. This is not about people, it's about a monster of a city that pushes them towards inhumanity. And... Paris is still the most beautiful city I've seen by night. So.

[@TheSwamij98]

That's hilarious that we stayed at the same hotel. I went out on the town with the front desk guy and learned about how it was for him to grow up in Syria. Awesome trip.

[@sueKay]

That's absolutely awful, I'm so sorry that happened. I've lived in the UK my whole life (near Glasgow) and in that time I've been mugged once and my mum had her bank card stolen while we were waiting to use an ATM... and that's it in 36 years. I know it's more common for these things to happen in London, but I've been to London more times than I can count, sometimes on my own, so I think Yuki had just the worst luck 🙁 I hope it won't put you off visiting the UK again, though I'd understand if you avoid London in future.

[@Annsunshine30]

My mum suddenly saw that a pickpocket had his hand in her purse, on the tube. She grabbed his wrist, while the hand was still in her bag. And he started screaming: "It wasn`t me!, It wasn`t me!!" ( the hand was still in her bag! 😆)And ran off on the next station.. They are everywhere in London. I always wear a bagpack on the front when I`m shopping there. And never a shoulder bag or anything in my pockets. It`s just to risky and I simply can`t afford it.

[@bambix1982]

Back then when I visited London I had my earpods stolen on my first ride on the tube. Unlucky for the thief they were old and didn't work reliably anymore. Lucky for me I meant to replace them before the London trip but never got around to do it. Overall London wasn't what I was expecting, unfortunately.

[@MrDarthGaber]

[@hitokitty]

Glad you both came out of the incident with your skin intact at least? Glad you're family is safe mate!

[@dailylovejuice]

I know you already learned a lot of lessons from all this mistakes, but I have to say... Winter 22/23 I spent two months in Europe with my husband -- similar to you, I wanted to show him around places I knew! But we stayed mostly with friends and family in different places. We wanted to do a few days outing just us, no family or friends, and discover a new place together. And so we chose Italy. More specifically, Rome, for three days. And the major factor in that decision is that it's much cheaper than most other big European cities! We stayed at a nice place with a big hot tub for under $100/night, and we had delicious dinners for a fairly good budget. So, next time, maybe go for Italy like Yuki wanted? Trains and metros are good and cheap, and get you to lots of places. That being said, you do have to look out for pick pockets like in other big cities. But you will have a fun couples adventure, with delicious coffee every morning, amazing dinners, and way budget-friendlier ;)

[@blinknyoullmissit]

Glad you both okay. I’m sure there will be better trips😊. You are The.Best.Storyteller. Cheers🍻😂!!!

[@aidzearceo9768]

You have been living in Japan too long! I'm so sorry about what happened to you guys. Glad to hear both of you are safe. When traveling to any place, especially where tourists converge, pick pockets are abound.

[@shaunriordan493]

Also, the London and Paris airport I was at made me really appreciate the Midway airport in Chicago. O’Hare is crazy, but it still is better than what we dealt with there.

[@EdwardKayeplus]

Oof. Last time I went back to the UK from Canada, we decided to take a week in Belgium to visit some of my favorite breweries, as it was my 40th. The night before, we went out drinking, and I had the worst hangover of my life. We made it to the Eurostar, but didn't realize you had to get there 30 minutes early (I'd taken a detour to throw up at the station), and they wouldnt let us on. My partner begged the lady to let us on, while I sat on the floor with the station spinning around me. Thankfully, the ticket person decided to look the other way while we ducked under the barricade and ran for the platform.

[@yeevita]

I agree with everyone else: Pete is an amazing storyteller! I am so glad Yuki was not harmed. I personally would have been a crying hysterical mess had that happened to me in a strange city. My husband would have gotten a crying panicked call from me and I probably would have been scared, sad, and angry the entire rest of the trip. Definitely good to hear the good ending and that everyone was safe.

[@yeevita]

Addendum: I would actually write a letter complimenting that lady who tried to help you, but it would actually be a letter of complaint. Of course, in a complaint letter, always include what you would like. So the letter should first state your experience (terrible) until the nice thing the lady did and you'd like to thank her. Then go into your entire experience, and after each charge, state that that charge should not have been charged. End with while the one act of kindness was nice, your perfect Eurostar experience would have been blah blah blah. Make sure to compliment, and complain, state the ask (refunds, or check to see if they are one of those companies that only does coupons, though since you were tourists, refunds would be best). I would also complain to my credit card, assuming you charged it. For the credit card, I would state that I did not receive what I paid for. You can go into the entire spiel about the changes, each one ending with "did not receive what was paid for". Make the ask: refund the charge.

[@hootedits4235]

The number of times I've walked around London alone as a tourist (albeit an English tourist) - probably nearing 100, and I've never been robbed. I'm so sorry this happened to Yuki, I know it feels so weirdly personal having something stolen. But Pete this wasn't your fault for encouraging her to explore on her own. London in general is actually quite safe (much safer than 20-30 years ago), she just got incredibly unlucky. No one's fault but the person who robbed her.

I'm not really the one to advocate for thinking positive but I think in this one particular case I'll make an exception for Pete and Yuki here. Sure. You made a lot of mistakes. Sure a lot of money got stolen and spent. Sure it was stressful. And yet all those things will only enhance this memory with your wife in the future. I am so happy for you Pete. Happy that you not only met a great girl but have a great wife. Despite everything that went wrong. Everything went so right. You'll both have these amazing memories and story for the rest of your life. I know the money hurts but money is never guaranteed and half the time we don't even remember what we spent it on. You met a great chap in Nick who helped you and in an ironic thankfull twist that thievery is so common in London that they were able to set you up with a pass port with little to no real issues. You also got a lot of great pictures. Sure you can see the experience for the bad and that Chris gave you terrible advice but the reality is most couples go on trips and have an over all very very ordinary and dull time. At least we can say for certain that this trip was anything but ordinary and dull. I say if anything these things happening to you are going to be a secret blessing for your marriage. The stars and fate truly aligned when Chris got you to change your plans. Imagine if you didn't. A story for the ages makes it that much more special and a future testament that will keep you both strong and happy. You've already gone through one of the worst experiences a couple will go through and you are both fine. =) Congrats again Pete and Yuki. Edit: I know I've already written so much but wouldn't it be funny if the thief was a fan and later realize it? Maybe they'll donate 1/4 of it back? Here's hoping.

Omg ! We were on vacation December,, , last two days in London . I got pickpocketed at a pub at the tower bridge, I had a “black pouch” THAT HAD EVERYTHING IN IT AS WELL ! This was two days before Christmas! We were standing outside the pub with NOTHING, not a dime ! The next six hours was pure hell . THANK GOD the scumbag wasnt a total scumbag, he tossed the credit cards (after we cancelled them) had to get a friend to Apple Cash us money for a tube ride back to our hotel ! On the tube my wife gets a message from our hotel ! The partial scumbag, tossed the pouch IN THE POST OFFICE with our passports and licenses ! The head of the post office found our room key IN THE POUCH, then proceeded TO CALL EVERY HILTON IN LONDON until he found us ! We got a Uber back to the post office to retrieve our PASSPORTS, DRIVERS LICENSES, (and Sam’s cards 😝)The most surreal experience we have ever experienced ! GOD BLESS THAT POST OFFICE MANAGER !!!

Tip one ! ALWAYS make copies of your passports! We had copies of ours , made it easy for us to get us to prove who we were to get our passports back !

The pickpocket got us when I was getting my two pints at the BUSY pub ! “Tapped” the card put my wallet in my FRONT COAT POCKET, then at the exact second I picked up my drinks is when they got it !! Truly a blink of an eye !! I’ll never forget the moment it happened !
