[Leica] camera/bag strap question

[Lluis Ripoll]

Thank you Ken, you made smile! Feel free to contact me for any question and if you have the time be sure it will be a pleasure meet you in Barcelona.

Maybe one of the methods that thief use is relatively unknown, somebody stains you with an ice cream .... and others appear to help you remove the stain..., I also watch on TV that the police had arrested some thieves who dressed up as police, but these cases are not common at all.

Cheers
Lluis

But also I act carefully, I never leave my camera on a table of a Bar, or on the floor without be attached to me, normally I carry my bag crosed and I always try to look around me. Be careful in the same manner you’ll be in NYC or any other big city.
