This was the CRAZIEST story to follow. France has a real problem with thieves it’s terrible. The inadequacy of the police is shocking as well. But I died laughing at the part of the train ticket cash only machine being BROKEN. You went through it

Tf are you talking about ive lived here my whole life and ive never been robbed once can we stop with the generalizing bullshit off of one anecdote? its giving terlinally online with a side of media illiteracy

So sorry to hear about your awful experience. I think you’re a strong resilient person. Here’s wishing you the best.

[@XimenaStensrudNyseth]

the grass is always greener on the other side. you didn’t get majorly physically hurt while being robbed and relationships and people come and go. it’s a learning experience ryan, it’s a lesson, and as cliche as it may sound it’s a moment of growth as a person, regardless if it was negative. sending you much love on this heartbreak and experience. take your time you don’t owe us anything upload whenever you feel like it and i hope you feel happier

I bought an esim from the haneda airport in japan and the internet/data wasn’t working. so i basically was without a phone. i had to screenshot google maps and google translate phrases, to get to places it was so frustrating. good thing that lady was there to help you

[@iyone7]

The moral of this story is that no one should EVER put their "entire life" on any damned piece technology. Sadly, Paris has been a crap city for some while. There are so many other neat areas in France to visit and few Americans seem to understand that.

[@abinalfa]

Out here in la is bad too honestly I’m surprised it dint happen here

i'm so sorry that happened to you, i have a bunch of friends who had horrible experiences while in paris, and i'm travelling there next april, i'm somewhat weary about thinking of how insecure it has become

[@OGaia]

Sadly Paris is filled with pickpockets. And so many scams in the touristy areas.. you really have to be aware of your suroundings and hopefully you'll be good. I moved to Paris 5 years ago from a tiny island with almost no crimes. It took some coaching from my bf but now i feel like i can sense shitty situations before it happens😂

[@seekingthelost7]

Thanks Ryan, I just finished watching, and wow, I am sorry for all of those horrible things you experienced. I can really relate. You definitely didn't deserve that and things are going to get better for you. Love and Light.

I just subscribed and I love how you articulate all of your experiences! Your storytelling is very calming, (although this unfortunate thing happened), I'm glad you're pushing through and sharing your vulnerability with us. Much love from New York :)

[@SILVIATHEGIRLS]

Hi Ryan, I love your personality, I subscribed to both of your channels 💖I relate to ALL of your experiences ! I left my home Country, Italy, just before finishing university and I graduated while I was living in Paris. Even though Paris is such a huge and romantic dream for so many people, the level of criminality I have experienced while living there made it a nightmare for me ! I left Paris to live in London which is a heaven of peace and safety compared to the Parisian criminality always on the rise ! I do not understand why the government doesn't seem to do anything against it ! I still want to go back to Paris, one day, but it will be with someone special, there are so many beautiful things to see and experience in Paris, but you have to be in "War zone mode" if you let your guard down someone will rob or scam you, that 's just how it is ... we cannot change it , but if we know we can deal with it better and have a better experience 💕 thanks for sharing you are amazing and with this video you inspire and give hope to so many other people in similar situations around the world. Ryan you are a Star ⭐ keep shining ✨my darling ! Love, Silvia , Molly 🐼 & Laya 🐻 Xxx

[@heatherheaney4060]

I live in France and we go to Paris a lot. Yes pretty much everyone has their phones out but so many ppl get their phones stolen daily like this. Theft is so normal that police dont bother with them anymore. Never have anything in your pockets, dont listen to music or have your phone out. They single out their targets. This is a profession and not just stealing phone on a whim. I always have my bag under my coat so when ppl brush up against you and stick their hands in your pocket they find nothing. My bf had his credit card stolen from the front pocket of his jeans while standing on a packed bus in Paris. That was done by gypsies. But you need to be careful pretty much everywhere in France. Theft is huge.

[@Ch0cotube]

Unfortunately this happens a lot to tourists in Paris. The snatching the phone before the doors close is a very commun way. In paris you should ideally not use an iPhone (they get noticed easily) but if you do when you use it in the metro always keep a finger at the top. It's a good trick that works

[@martron3000]

I'm sorry to hear that you had such an absolutely terrible week. There's an old saying called "Murphy's Law", which says that "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.". Your experience seems to prove the validity of Murphy's Law! But think of what a great story this will make if you ever decide to write an autobiography of your life in the future. This is a chapter in itself! Also, as a tech geek myself, if you don't already do it, I would suggest backing up all your photos and TikTok videos to an external hard drive plugged into your laptop computer. Once backed up, unplug and store the external drive away until you need to backup more files. Always best to have multiple copies of important things.

Sorry for everything you've experienced. I'm surprised police weren't patrolling at train station and saw you chasing and screaming at the thief. Europe is supposed to have all that Camera Surveillance equipment, seems like police should have a picture and video of the thief. Fortunately you were able to get another phone and getting your life back to normalcy.

[@scabbedcinnamonroll6353]

Idk what country of Europe you mean, but the thing with surveillance is not the case for most countries here lol

[@Mark-in-Texas]

Some of the European police themed television shows and movies often have the police looking over CCTV footage. Cameras are often shown attached to most of the buildings, giving an appearance that everything is under surveillance. I guess it must be another thing the film industry deceives people about. One would think that a public transportation station would have video cameras filming everything though. Here in the United States, I think most public transit stations have video cameras. Actually, I think surveillance is getting excessive. I live in a small city, and we have cameras at the roadway intersections that have traffic signal lights, which they probably look at the recorded video if a significant event occurred in the area, to see what vehicles have come and gone. My work has video cameras now too. With the price for security cameras getting much more affordable, as well as memory storage, cameras are going up everywhere in the US. @@scabbedcinnamonroll6353
