In Portland a very famous face. But also a large women was also on these front stairs and kind of bumped into me and tried to pick my pocket. I prevented her from doing that. The News lady witnessed the whole incident! But I didn't make it on the news that night. She was not a reporter anyway she just sat at the table and read the news. Its hard to pick my pockets. I'm very self aware (paranoid) and have very fast reflexes. -- Mark R. > From: Steve Unsworth <lug at steveunsworth.co.uk> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:44:20 +0100 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Paris tips-sites to see? > > I lived there and had my pocket picked once <grin>. > > The worst area is on metro line 1 as it goes through many of the touristy > placed on the right bank.
