hey Elliot. as all of america is watching this, maybe one of your stupid followers can remind you that there is much more worse shit happening in the USA and you aint there to help. why is that? is it that you maybe feel more comfy to harass people who wont shoot you in the face? could it be that? ahahahahhaa. what kind of a moron goes to foreign places and tells people to go back where they came from, checking them for ID. the American Karen moron type of person. btw the people joining you also happen to not know what xenophobia means. would ask you to teach them as you are a pro, but................ so fucking dumb xD xD
when i see them in my home town birmingham they beg and scam even though they're british citizens exactly like myself they receive same governmental financial support like i do but i confront them
Western governments are doing it on purpose, to destabilise society. They constantly letting criminals out on the streets on purpose. Happy, secure, prosperous, stress free citizens are a lot harder to brainwash and control. With safe & effective. And with hating other countries as an "enemy" that they picked fight with FIRST instead of looking closer to home. And demanding change !!
As a Romanian citizen, I am genuinely ashamed that the name of our country is represented by such individuals... The initiative is an excellent one; please continue to draw attention on these people. Great job!
You don't have to apologise what vile people do just because they are from your same country of origin. Just make sure you shame and expose them every chance you can.
Romanians are great immigrants mate. I have met countless across Spain. They work very hard and speak both Spanish and English. These particular ones don’t represent Romanians but the truth is that they had Romanian IDs and if the EU allows it, more will continue to keep doing this, and it’s a shame.
@@danziger9996 The same happens in Spain. People mistake good hard working and respectable Romanians with gypsies. And the truth is there is little in common. Two very different ethnicities and social behaviour. Unfortunately people mistake the two as the same and specially tourist who become victim to the latter, don't know that they were robbed, mugged or assulted by gypsies but mistake them for Romanians, other east Europeans or even spaniards. The laws of the land make it easy for these people to literally get away with murder. And they take advantage of it along with the hapless lack of distinction form the tourist.
Don't be ashamed, we know 99.999% of Romanians are lovely people. Every society has its criminal. Romania is a beautiful country with very hospitable people❤ and culture.
Good job, I was in Madrid in the recent past with my daughter. my wallet was Pick pocketed on the train from the airport and I lost almost $900 - citizens need to complain and politicians need to change the law. Keep up the good work.
Sorry that happened to you guys. We are sick and tired of these gypsies and we want them back in their eastern countries. But there's no political will since politicians don't live this multicultural "enriching" experience.
Lived in Barcelona & visited Madrid. I’m English. 🏴 Part of the problem is they pick on tourists who will not stay for any court case. Can cost thousands to get back & forth. Unfortunately, because of this, they can carry on. 👍🏼
Actually, police should take care of this. He is only harassing them. And won't solve the problem anyways, it's deeply rooted and the gypsy people need help to be integrated in the society. We, Romanians failed at it, but how do you deal with them? By telling them to go back to their country?? We don't want them in Romania either
I was in Madrid 25yrs ago.. My sister and I went to a huge market and I was almost robbed by a shit of a teenager but I had an angel who saw him sticking his hand into my rucksack... He was a huge Black American, with the USA Navy. He had to be 6'6. He grabbed hold of the scum bag and threw him to the ground. I never got the name of him but I'll never forget him. He's always in my prayers..
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) -------------------
Because they very smart they know police protect them when they pregnant they even can’t touch them,so they use the strategy for yelling “ don’t touch me
@KaltrinaDemiri, did you see them stealing anything, because I did not. Did we see this TH-camr and his associates harassing them, yes we did. Proof matters
@@newmankidman5763 The people in this video we were told are pickpockets have been previously arrested on that charge and fined. They were initially photographed upon being arrested - that’s how they were able to be identified for this video. Mug shots here in the states are accessible by the general public, too. A good example is how the faces of registered sex offenders is circulated in any neighborhood they move to so people can identify those perpetrators and avoid them. Same principle. You’ll note how many of the women were wearing sunglasses on an overcast day, and several covered their heads (I presume these are the more notorious ones). The scarf head coverings aren’t just a disguise: they’re meant to fool people into thinking they are modest, circumspect, God-fearing individuals - so when you’re “bumped” by them, rather than being suspicious, you’ll feel bad. I can’t imagine why you’re worried for their rights: two of the women were laughing about being identified - they truly have no conscience. They have no compunction stealing from anyone oblivious to their activities - and they don’t give a hoot whether they ruin your once-in-a-lifetime vacation. The Roma (otherwise known as gypsies) are hugely predatory to those outside their culture - who they view as dogs. The reason gypsies were nomadic is because after they’d prey upon a village, they were cast out and compelled to move elsewhere to find a fresh unsuspecting population. As you saw, they use a similar technique today: they travel from afar into popular destinations to find victims. If they’re caught, they’re unlikely to suffer a penalty because they try to target tourists vs. locals, and they’re long gone by the time a victim discovers their money, phones, jewelry, etc. has been lifted.
My wife was victim to pickpockets in Cinque Terre in Italy. It was a group of 5 or 6 pretty young girls, well dressed and posing as tourists. It soured our holiday.
You can. You can go into any neighborhood you want and document crime any time you want. If there is a vocal, politically active team of 15-20 people in 1 neighborhood, constantly filming, those people will eventually be arrested. You go to the schools, you get other youth involved.
Letting everyone on the train know was GOLD!!! Now they have to sit there in shame and know that everyone is avoiding them like the plague! Great work guys!
My wife and I visited 5 Spanish cities in March including Madrid and Barcelona. We took all the precautions to avoid a Carterista encounter as we stayed aware of our surroundings at all times. One creepy dude quit following us when I stopped, turned towards him and looked him straight in the eyes to let him know we were on to him. It’s quite a problem in Barcelona too. Great video!
Totally agree about scammers in Barcelona! Also, it was very sad to speak with some Spaniards who told us they had to resort to begging and prostitution to survive.
@@NanetteWoolston In Barcelona there are no Spaniard beggars or prostitutes, troll, you are either South American or British or Romanian. Although I would bet on the third
This is how all influencers should earn their money! Actually helping the citizens with these scammers. You’ve earned a subscriber my friend, keep doing the good work 😊
Sad truth is, the moment they are off cameras they will be living better than most do, that's why it's necessary to keep these activities up and keep the volunteers motivated and help them grow
I actually witnessed some pickpockets when I was in Barcelona. A guy's rolex got stolen from his arm and he was in hot pursuit to catch the thieves who were on scooters. I tried stopping one of the scooters, but the guys on it ran away leaving the scooter behind, only to be caught by some undercover police around the corner. I was very impressed with how serious the police took their job and how determined they were to take them to jail. All props to them!!
The police in Europe do a great job. The problem is in the justice department. They will let the people leave the same day. It is super frustrating for the police to.
My elderly father took a trip to France and they stole his wallet and badge that he always carried with him. He was devastated, these people are monsters.

We were in Madrid a month ago, and we wanted to go to the center. The front desk of the hotel said that we should be very careful because Madrid is notorious for pickpockets.
Well done for supporting the visitors in your Country. We work hard and save for our holiday and this is the last thing you want, when on holiday. It's so disgusting.

Madrid has had this issue for decades. I was there in 1989 and it was bad. I was with a tour group and we were lined up and they would squeeze between us a pick our backpacks and pockets.
My younger bro was working in the Virginia during the summer of 2017. As a pool guard. After only a day or two his smartphone was stolen... And we are from the southeastern Europe. At least earned some nice money, got a better phone, visited Washington DC, White House, professional baseball game, Philadelphia, NYC. Then when he returned back to Europe, he traveled with his girl friend to Poland, North Italy ski resorts and Barcelona. No problems what so ever. But in the USA someone snatched his smartphone like a flash!
This is such an amazing thing you do, guys I deeply bow down to you. You know a person could not care about few euros stolen but the fact you show them it will not be tolerated and they will be exposed is total victory. So cool, man. I admire you so much.
My daughter and me travel to Italy, doing June 27 at Florence We went out eat dinner. Somebody just stole my whole purse. I lost my passport credit card drivers license cash and Ab&d door key . Call the police since they don’t care. Call our Ab&b host he did not respond back to us until second morning, me and my daughter have to go looking for a different hotel to stay at that night. My young teenager daughter got freaked out and scared this whole experience it got painful. thank you guys for chasing the thieves along.
once in the streets of amsterdam one guy was helpless and almost cried because he lost his money and passport so he couldnt go back to his country and he came from a poor country saved money to discover i hope he find his way back to home . This people are disgusting people they dont care about you .
@@Ruitraceur yes we talked about it i gave him the location of the embassy but still he has no money and its a whole process where he gonna sleep in this process its all bs because of one pickpocket loser
Here in Romania, we suffered a lot because of this people and we tried many times to integrate them in our society but was imposible. I think your weak laws are the problem, here they go to jail even if they steal 50 euros.
I took a 3-month solo trip to Europe in the mid-80s and all the English speaking tourists of all ages I talked to for more than five minutes would eventually bring up their story of having had something stolen: wallet, purse, camera, or suitcase. The number of victims was absolutely shocking. They always brought the subject up as a warning to me once they realized I was a female solo traveler. I was extremely thankful for the warnings and exceptionally lucky as I had a couple of close encounters with large groups of thieves but never became a victim. Keep up the good work!
I was in Madrid 10 years ago with my niece and three young girls tried to pickpocket my niece, i was walking a few feet away from her and I saw them, I was carrying an umbrella with long handle, so I hit them with my umbrella telling them to leave us alone. They say those girls were gypsies.

This should be the standard for misbehaviour for all people that don’t respect the foreign country regarding pickpocketing, taking advantage of social security and other crimes, irrespective of their nationality or ethnicity. Let their homeland take care of them.
a friend who works at a consulate in Roma told me that he receives about 5 calls a day from people from his country who have been pickpocketed in the metro
I live in Paris and have never been robbed by pickpockets. I grew up near Detroit, Michigan and am always vigilant. My French husband , on the other hand, has had his sunglasses removed from his head and lost other things. No one comes within a few feet of me, without my watching them. Took my mother on the Metro in Paris about 20 years ago, and told her to keep her purse in front of and her hand firmly on it. Then noticed this kids dancing around her, as she stood and screamed, in English, "Thieves on the train", because my mother's zipper was half open. They jumped off at the next stop , but someone managed to grab the backpack off of one of them. These were CHILDREN around 10, 8 and 4. They are trained young!
Gentlemen,you are doing a great service for everyone.I was robbed in Toulouse last year,was a truamatic experience.Airport police so helpful.Delighted they caught the thieves who spent 3months in prison.Keep up the good work.I want to visit Madrid.
I also was pickpocketed in the Rome train station. I caught the young girl that did it but the police would not arrest her. I think they pay off the police. She was working with another girl and followed me right on the train and tried to pass me in the aisle when I felt a tickle in my pocket. She froze when I grabbed her and then she dropped the wallet. Don’t carry your wallet in your pocket, stick it down your underwear. Rome is nothing but crooks.
My purse was slashed, but they didn’t get anything as my money was in a pocket closest to my body. Now I carry Travelon bags. They lock and are difficult to open. We are going to Rome in July. My husband is going to carry one as well.
The same type of groups are throughout Europe. The pickpocketers in Paris are not Parisians, the pickpocketers in Barcelona are not from Barcelona, the pickpocketers in Milan are not Italians, same in Prague and everywhere else. It’s time they were cleared out to their own countries. I once seen a father teach his son, who was about 10, the ‘ring trick’ in Paris. Thank you all for helping honest people.
A man in Paris tried this on me and because I'm honest and quickly smelt a rat I turned it round on him and said we should ask the security guard to help us look for the ring and call the police oh that was the last thing he wanted and finally after being persistent he gave up and probably cursed me 😂
In fact, most of them are from the same country and play the role of the victim. I have faced many thefts in Italy and Spain, all of them from the same country, unfortunately.
Helped an American woman to the local police station. She had lost everything with the theft of her handbog in Barcelona. The police woman herself described the invasion by the gypsies as being a "plague" !
The number one rule should be don’t carry nice things with you in countries in the EU that have a pickpocketing problem. The same way I’d warn someone in America not to leave any valuables in your car. Never never never.
Congratulations🎉 for what are you doing and that you mentioned that majority of Romanians are not like this ! Keep it doing and very good job ! A lot of respect for you and your friends!!!
Thank you for what you're doing! My husband and I saw an old guy while waiting at a train station in Florence being pickpocketed by another elder guy who had a sling in his one arm. Being tourists, my husband's first time in Italy at that time, he never thought a seemingly disabled guy in a suit wearing with a necktie was actually a thief. We couldn't warn the victim because apparently we heard these thieves could follow you and attack. We felt helpless. A lot of the thieves are gypsies, some carrying babies, and pretending to ask for alms. Since finding out about pickpocketers in Europe, we start scanning our passport and important travel documents and emailing to ourselves, making a few copies that we put separately in several bags and luggage. We put our wallets and passports in a flat pouch wrapped around the body (not hanging like a necklace) and tucked under our shirts. If we need to pay, we would use our jackets or sweaters or our bodies as cover to discretely get our money or credit card. We also prefer to use less cash instead just 2 credit cards that we can cancel anytime if it's stolen. We just carry backpacks to put snacks and water and maybe medicines. Europe is beautiful but we also need to be extra careful and be aware of our surroundings and always be alert while enjoying the sights.
That’s wild that you have to do all these things before going out when it shouldn’t be like that! We should feel safe and free when we go out without worrying about all these stuff it’s crazy 😢 I live in the US, but when starting my travels, Europe has never been in my country for tours! I’ll start from my continent Africa, and Asia! I know they’re pickpockets everywhere but Europe ain’t my cup of tea lol😂
your in public on a trainstation and your gonna let someone steal from a elderly man without doing or saying anything. you are as guilty as the pickpocketer
My first morning in Paris (1982) I was accosted by a group of little gypsy kids who surrounded me and I had no idea what they were all chattering about. They were carrying large paper signs and pushing them up against me. One unzipped my camera bag and stole my purse which was on the top and then they all fled as quickly as they had shown up into a waiting Taxi probably driven by their parent. I spent a full day having to get a new passport and all of my travelers checks reassigned. The US Embassy treated me like I was the criminal doubting my story as I told it. It was an absolute nightmare and now I know. Good for the citizens going after these miscreants and thanks for filming it!
When i went to Paris in 1992 to see Elton John in concert a woman was breast feeding a baby on the street and begging for money when we stopped another woman came from behind and attempted to steal my friends purse.
Both of you should stay in England and USA .Both of you are against people coming to your criminal shitholes but you go everywhere outside your countries .What a cheek 😮.Stay in own made hateholes
I remember in Rome (1986) the same tactic by gypsy kids outside the Colosseum, the guy I was with had his documents removed from a zipped-up pocket on the front of his jumper as they pushed us close to the road. Police were only 20 metres away, but the kids didn't care.
My brother was pickpocketed his first day in Barcelona. They got all his money and his passport. Beware of groups of young people who surround you then make a scene. In Italy, I called them out but spoke to a lot of people who had been victimized this way.
You have a new subscriber here as I was a victim of Romanian thief gang operating in London during the summer many years back. They got a full bag as I just bought jewellery, have cash and all my then computer lessons, family photos and prayer books and a lot more in my bag. The police said they are members of organised gang. So THANK YOU and the gentlemen of Spain for your great work making our world a better place to live in. Blessings to all of you. ❤
17:28, she's a Roma from Romania, she speaks some Romanian. Most of them are Romanians, Romas 17:57 those boys are Romanians too. 19:51 she spoke Romanian too It's so easy to see them
I applaud the group from Madrid for putting in the time and effort to do this. Thank you for taking part in the effort, recording and sharing it in order to spread awareness on this issue. It all helps make the city a safer place to live in and visit.
This is great news! I'm so happy to see this video. In 2009 my girlfriend got her very full handbag stolen. It was loaded. Let's just say the thieves got away with a treasure bag. Till today I still remember the face of the guy that distracted me. He was around 5' 10" - heavy set, with facial hairs and shades. So this is a good move. Thanks to you all.
@@trustmesonimyourfather9097 It was with me and all my luggage. A guy distracted me while I was sitting by myself tending all my stuff with her handbag next to me while she was away. Another guy came from behind when my head was turned and took it. I didn't even know.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) -------------------
20 years ago in Madrid i saw a businessman smartly dressed at the train station. I then saw him crawling up behind someone sitting on a bench and he tried to reach around and steal a ladies purse that was next to her. She noticed and he ran away. They've been doing it for years.
My wife and I boarded a tram in Rome after arriving from the airport. The tram wasn't crowded, but a gypsy holding a baby was standing suspiciously close to my wife. I approached the gypsy and peered under her baby. The gypsy was holding my wife's pink purse. I made a commotion and the gypsy dropped the purse. I picked it up. The gypsy alighted at the next stop. That was enough to alert me of this danger. I now keep my wallet in my front pocket with a cord attached to a loop I have installed in the right pocket of all of my trousers.
Sis was sat eating lunch with her handbag on the floor. She sensed a movement and found a woman crawling under the table. She picked this woman up by her coat collar, and gave her a mouthful. The woman grizzled pathetically.
I’m from Barcelona and when I go to visit family I don’t like going to the city. It’s such a shame that these people make the experience of the people that visit a terrible one.
I was pick pocketed at the Madrid Airport. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. They took $500 plus my US green card - I was stuck and could not go home. 😢
I feel your pain. They slashed open my backpack and surrounded me with pieces of cardboard while they looted my bag in Paris once. I then started carrying razor blades in my pockets - wrapped in handkerchiefs. That did the trick! Lots of bleeding Gypsies
Yes, they are everywhere scattered in Europe, my husband was a victim of pickpocketers in Athens. And I was a victim of taxi scam in Rome. Thank you for people like you protecting tourists. Now we know how they do it.
They are gypsy who lives in Romania, not romanians which is a huge difference. If they live in Italy for 30 years and steal in the UK, I can’t call them italians, but gypsy citizens from Italy.
@@Moniq29uk yes thank you, I know, I never said they are from whichever country, my point is, I have experienced it and they are everywhere, tourists should know!
I was in Madrid a few years ago to watch a football match. Some gypsies tried to pickpocket a group of Irish woman. The Irish woman smashed them to bits. It was mayhem. Teeth on the floor ,blood everywhere. One of the gypsie woman had like 5 stab wounds
My grandmother grew up in one of the worse slums in south east Asia. She places a rat trap into her bag and locks it in armed position. No law on earth will protect a pickpocket if he gets his fingers sprung trapped
I am born in Romania and moved to Sweden at the age of 12. I am ashamed that these people are doing these kind of criminal actions in other countries and still smile when they are caught. They are present in Sweden as well. I feel ashamed that the name of my former country is represented by such individuals... Great job by these citizens on revealing these thief's. Keep on with the great work....
In Sweden they are usually begging. Since it's a cashless society, they'll probably end up leaving. I don't see as many as I did before covid. Still, there was a woman in front of Systembolaget on Linnégatan in Gothenburg who's probably been there for at least 15 years.
Yes but the educated know that Roma don’t equal Romanian. They’re entirely separate and everyone hates them bc of their criminality, child brides, trafficking.
As a Madrid citizen that has been living here ma whole life, im so gratefull for this. Keep up the good job. Hope more local people start doing what u do.
My sister visited Hong Kong and got pickpocketed with $1k of her money on her first day while in the train and it really dampened her spirits during her vacation. These pickpockets have no shame and they don’t care if it ruins their cities reputation on tourism.
Thank you for exposing these creeps. I was in Paris many years ago and more than half my group got pickpocketed, all of us were attempted pick-pocketed. Yup. The pick-pockets never got money from me, 'cause I was very vigilant. Steal from a grocery store if you are hungry, but don't steal from individuals on the street. Be careful, as I also warned some German tourists on the metro in Paris, France about pickpockets (who are mostly Moroccan). The Moroccan pickpockets then physically attacked me when I exited the metro train onto the platform. The pickpockets are always in groups. One way to avoid the pickpockets in Paris is to ride the bus, not the metro. The bus is much nicer, you can look out the window and see the scenery, and no stinky crowds to deal with, and a bus driver to help you if you need it.
Good tip I worked there for a while. Had a few near misses. One of the charity scammers tried to pocket dip me at the sacred couer. I smashed her clip board onto the floor. Next minute four or five guys appeared from sidelines and started to bee line to me. I was about to jog off, maybe hit the first one, all were big belly males and I was in my prime. A van pulled up rapid of unmarked police and saved the day. That was crazy hahaha
How do you know if they are Morroccan? Did you ask their identity papers? Egyptians,Libians,Algerians,Tunisians,Moroccans,Bulgarians,Romanians,Turks, Israelis etc have a lot of similarities (brown hair,tanned skin colour, a lot of similar specific in their face etc! How can you tell the identity
Btw stealing from a grocery store are you for real? How about them working for their money instead! People owning grocery stores are going bankrupt because all of the thefts!
@@Rimj-ur4be Assault is worse than theft. => 17:12 HERE Goddamn enabler. Enablers of violence are also violent. Sorry you were raised in violence and had no choice but to normalize it (to not see your parents as the monsters they were - which would be a threat to your life), but the time to enable violence by accepting it is OVER. No excuse for you as an adult!
You guys are actually real legends. Living breathing legends. No one deserves their hard earned money to be stole. Thank you. 🙏 from a person who was pickpocketed her brand new sunglasses 🕶️ from a backpack on her anniversary trip in Santa Susanna on a train.
i am italian and here they are left free to steal by the police (they get arrested and then they are freed to go after a couple of hours because here the most are pregnant women that come to italy illegally and they can't be arrested for this type of crimes because they are pregnant so the subways are full of those people that stole from everyone).
I live in Norway, and there are almost no gipsies left here, maybe because they are not let into the country either with children or while being pregnant? The few old gipsies who still come here, only beg, they don't steal..but since everybody knows that the beggars aren't even let to keep the money they beg, but have to give it all to "gipsy kings" or mafias, virtually nobody gives the beggars any money either..😊
@AZ0986688 The child protection services are liable to intervene. The other reason for the sharp decline in beggars is is that we have become largely cashless.
I very much appreciate all the people who are taking an active role in making their cities safer for everyone. I lived in Madrid for 3 years (2013-2016) and absolutely loved it so much I've been back a few times since to visit the many friends I made during my time living there. Although I had friends who were robbed, I was fortunate enough to never be a victim of these scams and I'm glad to see the people are taking a stand against these criminals. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I’m the United States they will arrest you. In state of Georgia, two men confronted a known thief in their neighborhood and the thief lashed out aggressively and tried to enter the men’s vehicles and steal the men’s weapon which resulted in the men shooting the thief in self-defense. The powers that be didn’t like the men defending their neighbour and said the thief was defending himself. So the men are in jail for life. Because the thief was black they made it about race. Donate to the McMichael’s givesendgo. Good job to anyone who takes responsibility of their neighborhoods!
There is a Dutch channel called Boevenspotter. This dude caught over 1500 pickpocked criminals. Crazy how he walks around and just spot them . Great channel. peace
as tour guide from indonesia, i really appreciate this activist movement, i was many times coming to espana, especially to madrid and barcelona and always scary about these pickpocket, and concern for my guest safety, thx so much 🙏🙏 please do this regulary everyday.
@@Lynx7029 I was walking around the eiffel tower in 2015 and a group of them honed in on us. Luckily I was alert and aware of our surroundings so we hurried off in another direction and lost them.
@@sassycat6487 good, I am glad. Must be so easy to be a victim there as most tourists are looking up and around and not fully aware or paying attention and the thieves work in teams and are so skilled.
Back in 2019, I was gifted a new Samsung phone. Second day I had it was on December 25, Christmas day, landed in Barcelona. Not even an hour in Barcelona, my phone got stolen! It was worth €1200!!! And when I went to the police station to report it while I was crying, the police officers told me that they won't be doing anything because it is their JOB TO STEAL. what the hell?! And during the same trip, my brother's wallet got stolen!!
My mum got her iphone stolen in Spain a few years ago and unbelievably the police recovered it and posted it back to her in Scotland a few months later.
A pick pocketer stolen my phone last year in Paris. I was inside a really busy bus, was helping carrying my aquintances luggage heading to the airport. Went to checked my pocket to find that suddenly my phone disappeared out of thin air. Luckly my insurance covered it but not without having to go through endless and tiring emails. I think i guess we all found our common ground here lol
I live in Russia , my phone was stolen and within 2 days the police caught the thief and fine him for stealing. They will never come to Russia because they will jail them all for stealing
These guys who are catching these pickpocketers should be recognized by the city... they are proud of their city, and don't want to see it waste away like NYC or Chicago...
I’m from Rio de Janeiro, the Beautiful city of Crime, when Visiting Barcelona I had an Immigrant pickpocket my wallet, of course I submitted him and called the guards… was was more surprising was that the guarda where like “this guy again?” Pathetic.
Not a inmigrant dude. Iam a true immigrant, Based in Barcelona 15 years here, Iam Brazilian and most of them are Romanians, gypsy specifically, or Moroccans, sometimes Chileans but most are from Romanian not exactly immigrants. Iam an immigrant from a country of immigrants Brazil. Most immigrants here don't do that. Don't name immigrants like that. Saudaçoes aqui de Barcelona sou de BH, Minas Gerais.
This coming from someone who cowardly fled Ukraine instead of fighting like a man is hilarious. Keep that "Holier Than Thou" attitude to yourself, Johnny. It's embarrassing.
Being a Romanian I just want to thank you so much for what are you doing, guys! Keep up the work! I’m so happy seeing them getting caught!! Lot of Romanians are working so hard double shifts, more jobs daily to get better lives and because of these kind of persons we have barriers in getting better recognition in the society even tho’ we only want to do our things LEGALLY! Congratulations! I’m subscribed from now on!
@@cherylparry8032it's not as bad as Madrid but one should be very cautious especially in public transport. Our cops are useless so don't rely on that. Keep your belongings out of touch. They'll come from behind and the most dangerous places are when you want to enter a bus or a tram. NEVER call a Romanian a gypsy. You might end up with your jaw broken. We welcome all tourists wholeheartedly but our global image is ruined by these cockroaches. Romania's nature and traditions are beautiful, we're a humble and EXTREMELY proud people and being associated with these creatures is appalling. I'm not one of these proud Romanians that's for sure. As sad as this sounds, i suggest you don't visit Romania.
@@cherylparry8032 It’s not that bad as you maybe heard.. I think is the same as other places when it’s crowded. Tbh i always take care of my stuff and a duffle bag might help you a lot wherever you go, not only in Romania haha. I would suggest you to go to the mountain zone. Looking forward for your reply when you come back from it.
There are too many pickpockets in Europe. My friend's Rolex watch was stolen while walking along the Seine River, and another friend's entire bag disappeared on the train. Pickpockets must be punished
I never rly had any problems in Austria with this, but i had my 50ccm scooter stolen once. never got a new onew cuz i said fk it and went by foot, but i would def. invest in some tracking devices. For things like a rolex u rly cant implement but we can do our part to make our stuff protected.
@@OriginalDrikkespeople often throw scooters into the rivers and for fk sake idk why they do this in vienna. But i know many high police officers and if u got it on camera it is even more wunderbar 😂
Thanks for this. I was literally in Lisbon earlier this week. I was on a Free Walking Tour and the tour guide kept warning us about pickpocketing. I thought to myself "enough of this, we get the message." She even interrupted the tour to point out two women whom she said were regular pickpockets. My wife and I laughed, and honestly we were a bit cocky. The next day, my wife's backpack was "picked," and my wallet inside was stolen. I lost my credit cards and my US passport. I had to spend the next day going to 4-different police stations and then the U.S. Embassy. I spent hundreds to dollars between cabs, Ubers, and the fee for a new Emergency Passport. Sadly, they run rampant in Lisbon. When you travel please take this seriously. The video is accurate: most of these crimes go unpunished, most seem to be folks from Romania and Bosnia, and lastly, it will prove to be very expensive for you, and worst, very stressful.
Typical American, very cocky. Even as a British person, i'm well aware that I'm not in my environment whilst I'm on holiday! Unfortunately, you've learnt the hard way.
What good of you to tell us this story. We always get a lot of advice from a lot of people in our lifes... and after we think ow I should have listen.. so thanks for telling us your story!
Thanks for this! People affect our view of the country very much. Without pickpocketers it would be much better experience and have positive views of that country and culture.
Paris needs this movement. Got attacked by 4 guys on the metro a few months ago and they took my phone right out of my front pocket (I had my hand in there but they distracted me for a few seconds). They are pretty sophisticated with fishing sites and such. Police and security couldn’t do anything. I was with friends and it still happened. We have pictures of the thieves and shared with police. I hope that people are more careful with the Summer Olympics coming up. Glad you’re doing this because I reached out to so called “influencers” and news channels to do a short bit to warn people and none gave a crap. Perhaps only when it happens to them that they start caring.
Was this early in the AM or late in the evening when there weren't many people on the metro ? And what route were you traveling ? I've never felt unsafe taking the Paris metro, so this is surprising to hear.
@@3l3llala13this was at the Concorde station around 3 PM this past early December. My two friends and I just finished a walking tour and ended at the gardens next to the Louvre. We visited the Xmas market there before heading to Montmartre. Went to the station, got our tickets, got to platform and a guy was looking at me. Didn’t think anything of it. When metro came, we got in line in front of the door. The same guy was getting at the next door but then went over to where we were trying to squeeze in. I had my hands in my front pockets like I always do on trains and buses. They squeezed my friends out and didn’t allow them to get on. They crowded me on the metro creating the illusion that it was crowded. I was going to move down towards the next door where it was more empty or get off and take the next one with my friends when they made space and allowed my friends to get on. Then as I stood around one of the poles (was holding it with my right hand while left hand was in front left pocket where the phone was), one of them kneeled down and jangled a bunch of keys next to my right foot as if I was stepping on it. At first I just moved my foot and didn’t think anything of it. Then he continued for a bit more. I thought about kicking it away but not that kind of person. He started lifting my right foot up and down so I took my left hand out of the pocket to shoo him away with both hands saying “dude wth are you doing?” My first thought hearing metal clinging and him lifting my foot was that he was going to cuff it to the pole. That’s why I did what I did. Right then, they created a commotion and took my phone. It took 3-5 seconds and I realized “wait. My pockets are unprotected!” Went to feel for my phone and sure enough it was gone. I didn’t allow the metro to leave, confronted them, security came out, marked phone as locked via iCloud using my friend’s phone, tried calling it, etc. Essentially, without proof, security and police couldn’t do anything. Four of them left together. I didn’t realize until that moment that it was a team sport. I am well traveled, usually careful, and never had any issues until then. Went to the police station to file a report and met so many people from all over the world that were victims of pickpockets or had their luggage broken into on the train. Paris is a beautiful city, but petty theft crimes have become rampant (similar to lots of major European cities). After we filed the report, my friend got a text as we were leaving the police station. It said your phone’s location was updated and to login to see where it was. We were all tired after the ordeal and I went off the words of my friends that it was safe and tried logging in. Keyword is tried because after the second try, I wondered why it wasn’t working since I used the same username and pswd to mark the phone as lost earlier. I asked the other friend if this looked legit. We Googled the official icloud website and sure enough it was different. They basically got my login info to unmark the phone as lost, wipe it, and sell it. I had a passcode on as well. Anyway, this was the same night that a German tourist was killed in an ax attack near the Eiffel Tower. That happened 6 hours after I was pickpocketed. Again, beautiful city but it seems to have gotten worse vs my first visit almost 10 years ago.
Fabulous initiative. When I was in Lyon, a Roma girl regularly sat underneath the ATM so I went inside to ask the bank to ask her to move. Allez, allez.
@@Catmac2000 please help us and the controllers and took away our guns. We need help in Britain Ireland, Sweden Scotland, Denmark, Iceland, UK France, Germany, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Russia.
When I traveled from U.S. to Thailand EVERYONE warned me about various scams and I've never encountered one or been hassled. When I went to Paris and Milan and no one warned me. I felt so unsafe, I had my phone stolen, caught someone reaching into my friend's bag and was hit with the ring scam. Plus the ones asking for signatures. Great job by those guys.
I went to Rome in the early 90s and saw a gang of pick pockets. An elderly man in our group (a vicar wearing his white collar!) had taken traveller’s cheques for spending money and didn’t want to leave it in the hotel so took it out with him and it was stolen. He knew the woman had taken it and confronted her. She’d already passed it on so she lifted her top exposing her tits to prove she hadn’t got it. The poor vicar went purple, which was her objective, cocky bitch. I felt so sorry for the elderly vicar and his wife. We tried to chase the gang so we could tell the police where they went but they split up and disappeared. B@stards 🤬
yes I saw this scam at a Dutch show so the man says he wants to help you buy a ticket and he asks for 20€ or sometimes more but the ticket only costs 1.50
I was robbed in Birmingham 7 years ago. While walking the streets, two girls came up asking me for help , they wanted small changes. I took out the money, they just grabbed from my hand and run. I was shocked, i always thought western countries are much more civilized than us. From Vietnam.
I was In Romania a few weeks ago, and I saw two little boys walking with their father they were Gypsies and their father was looking through garbage cans for anything of value and enticing his sons to beg people for money. The little boys didn't want to beg so the father began beating them!
See?? you have a fucking brain! you said it! GIPSIES, NOT ROMANIANS.. we have milions of cigans here who behave like shit. you CAN'T DENY the reality! cigans are not romanians, they just poses Romanian ID.
Just like beggars in India. I saw a beggar girl drink water in the sgadow when she was supposed to beg (was super hot) and the older woman saw her drink and started slapping her continuously. It was in the middle of the traffic. Everyone could see that but no one can do anything as police also allows them to work and might even collect a tax. And yeah they're organized gangs involving human trafficking. The kids sometimes are literally kidnapped and even mutilated for the gain. They earn more than someone who does a job, so it's good money.

hey Elliot. as all of america is watching this, maybe one of your stupid followers can remind you that there is much more worse shit happening in the USA and you aint there to help. why is that? is it that you maybe feel more comfy to harass people who wont shoot you in the face? could it be that? ahahahahhaa. what kind of a moron goes to foreign places and tells people to go back where they came from, checking them for ID. the American Karen moron type of person. btw the people joining you also happen to not know what xenophobia means. would ask you to teach them as you are a pro, but................ so fucking dumb xD xD
@AdventureElliot You are a bully with no spine to pick on women, whatever circumstances! Easy target, hero?
Why do my comments always get erased here? It has happened many times before! 😬Or is it TH-cam who removes them?
In the UK we would get arrested for harrassing them and they would be let go, it is a crazy world we live in today.
In the West, the government protects the immigrant invaders.
when i see them in my home town birmingham they beg and scam even though they're british citizens exactly like myself they receive same governmental financial support like i do but i confront them
Same here in the USA
Western governments are doing it on purpose, to destabilise society. They constantly letting criminals out on the streets on purpose. Happy, secure, prosperous, stress free citizens are a lot harder to brainwash and control. With safe & effective. And with hating other countries as an "enemy" that they picked fight with FIRST instead of looking closer to home. And demanding change !!
Pick pockets have the right to defend its fingers
As a Romanian citizen, I am genuinely ashamed that the name of our country is represented by such individuals... The initiative is an excellent one; please continue to draw attention on these people. Great job!
You don't have to apologise what vile people do just because they are from your same country of origin.
Just make sure you shame and expose them every chance you can.
Romanians are great immigrants mate. I have met countless across Spain. They work very hard and speak both Spanish and English. These particular ones don’t represent Romanians but the truth is that they had Romanian IDs and if the EU allows it, more will continue to keep doing this, and it’s a shame.
Many people in our country don’t know the difference between Romanians and Romas. That’s how Romania’s reputation goes downhill.
@@danziger9996 The same happens in Spain. People mistake good hard working and respectable Romanians with gypsies. And the truth is there is little in common. Two very different ethnicities and social behaviour.
Unfortunately people mistake the two as the same and specially tourist who become victim to the latter, don't know that they were robbed, mugged or assulted by gypsies but mistake them for Romanians, other east Europeans or even spaniards.
The laws of the land make it easy for these people to literally get away with murder. And they take advantage of it along with the hapless lack of distinction form the tourist.
Don't be ashamed, we know 99.999% of Romanians are lovely people. Every society has its criminal. Romania is a beautiful country with very hospitable people❤ and culture.
Good job, I was in Madrid in the recent past with my daughter. my wallet was Pick pocketed on the train from the airport and I lost almost $900 - citizens need to complain and politicians need to change the law. Keep up the good work.
omg! :O
Sorry that happened to you guys. We are sick and tired of these gypsies and we want them back in their eastern countries. But there's no political will since politicians don't live this multicultural "enriching" experience.
Lived in Barcelona & visited Madrid. I’m English. 🏴
Part of the problem is they pick on tourists who will not stay for any court case. Can cost thousands to get back & forth.
Unfortunately, because of this, they can carry on.

7:10 she said she needs money for food looks like she never missed a meal 😂😂
Zou change the law but you can't change the gypsies.
man, you deserve an award for exposing thieves on line so people are more aware!
no he doesnt
Actually, police should take care of this. He is only harassing them. And won't solve the problem anyways, it's deeply rooted and the gypsy people need help to be integrated in the society. We, Romanians failed at it, but how do you deal with them? By telling them to go back to their country?? We don't want them in Romania either

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

Yes it’s the same in Denmark….
Wow....men doing what men have to do. #Protecting the City. Thank you. From South Africa. We need this. 💆
The nerve of them to say "don't touch" but have no problem touching others to steal stuff from them.
Because they very smart they know police protect them when they pregnant they even can’t touch them,so they use the strategy for yelling “ don’t touch me
The worse people of Europe 🌍 how can these creatures be in Europe 😢
Defending women's rights
@KaltrinaDemiri, did you see them stealing anything, because I did not. Did we see this TH-camr and his associates harassing them, yes we did. Proof matters
@@newmankidman5763 The people in this video we were told are pickpockets have been previously arrested on that charge and fined. They were initially photographed upon being arrested - that’s how they were able to be identified for this video.
Mug shots here in the states are accessible by the general public, too. A good example is how the faces of registered sex offenders is circulated in any neighborhood they move to so people can identify those perpetrators and avoid them.
Same principle.
You’ll note how many of the women were wearing sunglasses on an overcast day, and several covered their heads (I presume these are the more notorious ones). The scarf head coverings aren’t just a disguise: they’re meant to fool people into thinking they are modest, circumspect, God-fearing individuals - so when you’re “bumped” by them, rather than being suspicious, you’ll feel bad.
I can’t imagine why you’re worried for their rights: two of the women were laughing about being identified - they truly have no conscience. They have no compunction stealing from anyone oblivious to their activities - and they don’t give a hoot whether they ruin your once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
The Roma (otherwise known as gypsies) are hugely predatory to those outside their culture - who they view as dogs. The reason gypsies were nomadic is because after they’d prey upon a village, they were cast out and compelled to move elsewhere to find a fresh unsuspecting population.
As you saw, they use a similar technique today: they travel from afar into popular destinations to find victims. If they’re caught, they’re unlikely to suffer a penalty because they try to target tourists vs. locals, and they’re long gone by the time a victim discovers their money, phones, jewelry, etc. has been lifted.
My wife was victim to pickpockets in Cinque Terre in Italy. It was a group of 5 or 6 pretty young girls, well dressed and posing as tourists. It soured our holiday.
This kind of people are stiling.
Gypsies can smell and see the stupid liberals.
No doubt, they would have tricked me too.
So sorry about this
Sorry😢😢
I think all European cities with serious thefts should have this group of "thief-revealing teams" so that tourists can travel with peace of mind.
it's not just a team, it's a family
Great idea. Should work with interpol.
I would pay.
serious thefts you don't know them, if u know them, probably they are arrested eheh :)
You can. You can go into any neighborhood you want and document crime any time you want. If there is a vocal, politically active team of 15-20 people in 1 neighborhood, constantly filming, those people will eventually be arrested. You go to the schools, you get other youth involved.
Letting everyone on the train know was GOLD!!! Now they have to sit there in shame and know that everyone is avoiding them like the plague! Great work guys!
My wife and I visited 5 Spanish cities in March including Madrid and Barcelona. We took all the precautions to avoid a Carterista encounter as we stayed aware of our surroundings at all times. One creepy dude quit following us when I stopped, turned towards him and looked him straight in the eyes to let him know we were on to him. It’s quite a problem in Barcelona too. Great video!
They are from Eastern Europe, now they barely have robberies there
Gran video Elliot!!! Excelente trabajo!!!😘😘

Sad truth is, the moment they are off cameras they will be living better than most do, that's why it's necessary to keep these activities up and keep the volunteers motivated and help them grow
I actually witnessed some pickpockets when I was in Barcelona. A guy's rolex got stolen from his arm and he was in hot pursuit to catch the thieves who were on scooters. I tried stopping one of the scooters, but the guys on it ran away leaving the scooter behind, only to be caught by some undercover police around the corner. I was very impressed with how serious the police took their job and how determined they were to take them to jail. All props to them!!
The police in Europe do a great job. The problem is in the justice department. They will let the people leave the same day. It is super frustrating for the police to.
A Rolex is very expensive. This is a party day for them.
@@CAR_NL : Same with many of the major cities in the U.S. Police arrested the criminals, then the D.A./prosecutor would just let them go.
No one who is vacationing should be wearing expensive items. Buy yourself a cheap watch for $25 to have on vacation, if you really need a watch.
The police in Spain take their jobs seriously in every crime they face but in other countries like Italy, France, Greece, not so much.
She has the audacity to say “Don’t touch”, but she is touching others pockets!!
do you have audacity? living and enjoying your luxury stolen from mouths of poor nations?
Can't touch this! Dah na na na! Can't touch this! Da na na na, Hammer time!
why not ? your politicants alowed to them , is this work for police , not on some youtuber . That isnt happening by accident ,

My daughter and me travel to Italy, doing June 27 at Florence We went out eat dinner. Somebody just stole my whole purse. I lost my passport credit card drivers license cash and Ab&d door key . Call the police since they don’t care. Call our Ab&b host he did not respond back to us until second morning, me and my daughter have to go looking for a different hotel to stay at that night. My young teenager daughter got freaked out and scared this whole experience it got painful. thank you guys for chasing the thieves along.
Where are the police and what are the duties of the police? To maintain law and order 🤦♀️🤦♀️
That's terrible im sorry that happened to you
If the tourist protest & stop coming maybe they will pay more attention

Passport problem, you go to your country's embassy!
@@Ruitraceur yes we talked about it i gave him the location of the embassy but still he has no money and its a whole process where he gonna sleep in this process its all bs because of one pickpocket loser
@@Ruitraceur It's not that easy and it's not free.
He lost them, or you meant to say they were "stolen"?...the two situations are not the same.
@@markrobby7136 you can see in my reaction that i say '' because of picpocket losers '' they stole it from him it was in his bag.
I propose that those caught stealing should be banned from entering the respective country for at least 5 years....
For life,
Once you expose urself ur out,
Just like in a job,
If you steal ur out for good, not 5 years & cum back to do the same .
No, not 5 years, a permanent ban!!
Yeah send them home who want these fucks in their country.
They will just move from one county to another, jail time is the way, it's stealing after all
Don't propose anything! You don't have the rights!
Only they have rights.
Here in Romania, we suffered a lot because of this people and we tried many times to integrate them in our society but was imposible. I think your weak laws are the problem, here they go to jail even if they steal 50 euros.
I took a 3-month solo trip to Europe in the mid-80s and all the English speaking tourists of all ages I talked to for more than five minutes would eventually bring up their story of having had something stolen: wallet, purse, camera, or suitcase. The number of victims was absolutely shocking. They always brought the subject up as a warning to me once they realized I was a female solo traveler. I was extremely thankful for the warnings and exceptionally lucky as I had a couple of close encounters with large groups of thieves but never became a victim. Keep up the good work!
I was in Madrid 10 years ago with my niece and three young girls tried to pickpocket my niece, i was walking a few feet away from her and I saw them, I was carrying an umbrella with long handle, so I hit them with my umbrella telling them to leave us alone. They say those girls were gypsies.
10+ years ago, met the same group twice in the Madrid metro within 2 weeks.
Same gypsies are out here in Los Angeles asking for money in intersections
Poor your niece and poor those children… their parents or traffickers forced them into this life of crime.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

Salam (Peace) -------------------
I've never seen Roma enter a shop to buy, only to steal.
This should be the standard for misbehaviour for all people that don’t respect the foreign country regarding pickpocketing, taking advantage of social security and other crimes, irrespective of their nationality or ethnicity. Let their homeland take care of them.
a friend who works at a consulate in Roma told me that he receives about 5 calls a day from people from his country who have been pickpocketed in the metro
I live in Paris and have never been robbed by pickpockets. I grew up near Detroit, Michigan and am always vigilant. My French husband , on the other hand, has had his sunglasses removed from his head and lost other things.
No one comes within a few feet of me, without my watching them.
Took my mother on the Metro in Paris about 20 years ago, and told her to keep her purse in front of and her hand firmly on it. Then noticed this kids dancing around her, as she stood and screamed, in English, "Thieves on the train", because my mother's zipper was half open.
They jumped off at the next stop , but someone managed to grab the backpack off of one of them.
These were CHILDREN around 10, 8 and 4. They are trained young!
Yes they are gysies. This is what gysies do, steel. It's a spirit of theft on them.
I'm hypervigilant. They don't come near me either. I'm suspicious as hell growing up in NYC.
@@DivinityinLovewell when you are in taking metro and everyone are stacked, you become a easy target even you are a badass.
Yep, in my country gypsies culture it’s often taught young to start doing such things.
@@RandySnarshoh sure pickpocketing is from sneaky rats. And even lions can get pickpocketed
Gentlemen,you are doing a great service for everyone.I was robbed in Toulouse last year,was a truamatic experience.Airport police so helpful.Delighted they caught the thieves who spent 3months in prison.Keep up the good work.I want to visit Madrid.
In Toulouse you have a lot to loose ! I know the arab City very Well;)
More division research problem reaction solution the tribe are at it again, wake up people please.
@@NickBerendt23 Barcelona is going this way, Madrid is a different country right now...
I was pickpocketed at a railway station in Rome. The joke was on them as my purse had no money in it.
Legend. 😂😂😂😂
I also was pickpocketed in the Rome train station. I caught the young girl that did it but the police would not arrest her. I think they pay off the police. She was working with another girl and followed me right on the train and tried to pass me in the aisle when I felt a tickle in my pocket. She froze when I grabbed her and then she dropped the wallet. Don’t carry your wallet in your pocket, stick it down your underwear. Rome is nothing but crooks.
My purse was slashed, but they didn’t get anything as my money was in a pocket closest to my body. Now I carry Travelon bags. They lock and are difficult to open. We are going to Rome in July. My husband is going to carry one as well.
😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
😂
the tour guide showing everyone the pick pocket people cracked me up so much 🤣
They look unfazed and even manage to smile and smirk, as if they're even enjoying! This is mindblowing!
I observe the 3 women are all wearing the same type of shoes🤔
They know, they will continue their "job" the next day without any of this...
The same type of groups are throughout Europe. The pickpocketers in Paris are not Parisians, the pickpocketers in Barcelona are not from Barcelona, the pickpocketers in Milan are not Italians, same in Prague and everywhere else. It’s time they were cleared out to their own countries. I once seen a father teach his son, who was about 10, the ‘ring trick’ in Paris. Thank you all for helping honest people.
A man in Paris tried this on me and because I'm honest and quickly smelt a rat I turned it round on him and said we should ask the security guard to help us look for the ring and call the police oh that was the last thing he wanted and finally after being persistent he gave up and probably cursed me 😂
100% and Europeans are so. Far to left they won’t solve it. Europistan!!!
In fact, most of them are from the same country and play the role of the victim. I have faced many thefts in Italy and Spain, all of them from the same country, unfortunately.
and where are they so??
@@PesChiesa romas/romanians/bulgarians/italians you dont even know anmore
Helped an American woman to the local police station. She had lost everything with the theft of her handbog in Barcelona. The police woman herself described the invasion by the gypsies as being a "plague" !
Do they warn the tourist before they come?
The number one rule should be don’t carry nice things with you in countries in the EU that have a pickpocketing problem. The same way I’d warn someone in America not to leave any valuables in your car. Never never never.
Ci vuole una Legge con la CERTEZZA DELLA PENA...
That’s the reason some of us have no interests in traveling in Europe because of this, I heard 0f many bad stories
@@afroabroadmy first thought was 'or just like you should warn people going to USA to wear bulletproof attire'
Congratulations🎉 for what are you doing and that you mentioned that majority of Romanians are not like this ! Keep it doing and very good job ! A lot of respect for you and your friends!!!
Thank you for what you're doing! My husband and I saw an old guy while waiting at a train station in Florence being pickpocketed by another elder guy who had a sling in his one arm. Being tourists, my husband's first time in Italy at that time, he never thought a seemingly disabled guy in a suit wearing with a necktie was actually a thief. We couldn't warn the victim because apparently we heard these thieves could follow you and attack. We felt helpless. A lot of the thieves are gypsies, some carrying babies, and pretending to ask for alms. Since finding out about pickpocketers in Europe, we start scanning our passport and important travel documents and emailing to ourselves, making a few copies that we put separately in several bags and luggage. We put our wallets and passports in a flat pouch wrapped around the body (not hanging like a necklace) and tucked under our shirts. If we need to pay, we would use our jackets or sweaters or our bodies as cover to discretely get our money or credit card. We also prefer to use less cash instead just 2 credit cards that we can cancel anytime if it's stolen. We just carry backpacks to put snacks and water and maybe medicines. Europe is beautiful but we also need to be extra careful and be aware of our surroundings and always be alert while enjoying the sights.
That’s wild that you have to do all these things before going out when it shouldn’t be like that! We should feel safe and free when we go out without worrying about all these stuff it’s crazy 😢
I live in the US, but when starting my travels, Europe has never been in my country for tours! I’ll start from my continent Africa, and Asia! I know they’re pickpockets everywhere but Europe ain’t my cup of tea lol😂
Beautiful or not who wants to go through all of this just to prevent being a victim of someone pickpocketing your belongings.
your in public on a trainstation and your gonna let someone steal from a elderly man without doing or saying anything. you are as guilty as the pickpocketer
Wouldn't go to Europe. Get your shit together.
These are criminally gangs not petty thieves.
You should've alerted him!!!
My first morning in Paris (1982) I was accosted by a group of little gypsy kids who surrounded me and I had no idea what they were all chattering about. They were carrying large paper signs and pushing them up against me. One unzipped my camera bag and stole my purse which was on the top and then they all fled as quickly as they had shown up into a waiting Taxi probably driven by their parent. I spent a full day having to get a new passport and all of my travelers checks reassigned. The US Embassy treated me like I was the criminal doubting my story as I told it. It was an absolute nightmare and now I know. Good for the citizens going after these miscreants and thanks for filming it!
When i went to Paris in 1992 to see Elton John in concert a woman was breast feeding a baby on the street and begging for money when we stopped another woman came from behind and attempted to steal my friends purse.
Both of you should stay in England and USA .Both of you are against people coming to your criminal shitholes but you go everywhere outside your countries .What a cheek 😮.Stay in own made hateholes
@@lynnedavies5884 the absolute *"dirtiest"* of tricks ❕️🤦🏼
So sad. Sorry about this honestly. Yes it’s amazing for citizens to expose these criminals. It’s a shame they are involving children into this.
I remember in Rome (1986) the same tactic by gypsy kids outside the Colosseum, the guy I was with had his documents removed from a zipped-up pocket on the front of his jumper as they pushed us close to the road. Police were only 20 metres away, but the kids didn't care.
Salute to these volunteers saving tourists and public their valuable.
Good Jobs, good work. Thank you for doing a good work.Salute❤🙏👏
Elliot does more for Madrid than the Police. Bravo amigo! 👏🏻

Of course he does more. The police in every western European country are for "multiculturalism".

Bullying people is Not the way !
My brother was pickpocketed his first day in Barcelona. They got all his money and his passport. Beware of groups of young people who surround you then make a scene. In Italy, I called them out but spoke to a lot of people who had been victimized this way.
His money and his passport? Oh no this is awful :( How did he manage to go back home?
Leave your passport indoors safely at the hotel Take a picture of it on your phone to show if stopped for i.d.

This is great news! I'm so happy to see this video. In 2009 my girlfriend got her very full handbag stolen. It was loaded. Let's just say the thieves got away with a treasure bag. Till today I still remember the face of the guy that distracted me. He was around 5' 10" - heavy set, with facial hairs and shades. So this is a good move. Thanks to you all.
How did she get her handbag stolen unless she left it unattended?
@@trustmesonimyourfather9097 It was with me and all my luggage. A guy distracted me while I was sitting by myself tending all my stuff with her handbag next to me while she was away. Another guy came from behind when my head was turned and took it. I didn't even know.
When the lawmakers and governments fail doing their jobs, the citizens are forced to take over. Good job guys!
No you should stop paying taxes instead.

20 years ago in Madrid i saw a businessman smartly dressed at the train station. I then saw him crawling up behind someone sitting on a bench and he tried to reach around and steal a ladies purse that was next to her. She noticed and he ran away.
They've been doing it for years.
My wife and I boarded a tram in Rome after arriving from the airport. The tram wasn't crowded, but a gypsy holding a baby was standing suspiciously close to my wife. I approached the gypsy and peered under her baby. The gypsy was holding my wife's pink purse. I made a commotion and the gypsy dropped the purse. I picked it up. The gypsy alighted at the next stop. That was enough to alert me of this danger. I now keep my wallet in my front pocket with a cord attached to a loop I have installed in the right pocket of all of my trousers.
And with They, we all know who it is, gypsies.
I think much much longer than that. Perhaps hundreds of years.
Sis was sat eating lunch with her handbag on the floor. She sensed a movement and found a woman crawling under the table. She picked this woman up by her coat collar, and gave her a mouthful. The woman grizzled pathetically.
You should research dates of the anti-Gypsy laws in European countries.
I’m from Barcelona and when I go to visit family I don’t like going to the city. It’s such a shame that these people make the experience of the people that visit a terrible one.
I was pick pocketed at the Madrid Airport. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. They took $500 plus my US green card - I was stuck and could not go home. 😢
I feel your pain. They slashed open my backpack and surrounded me with pieces of cardboard while they looted my bag in Paris once. I then started carrying razor blades in my pockets - wrapped in handkerchiefs. That did the trick! Lots of bleeding Gypsies

Yes, they are everywhere scattered in Europe, my husband was a victim of pickpocketers in Athens. And I was a victim of taxi scam in Rome. Thank you for people like you protecting tourists. Now we know how they do it.
They are gypsy who lives in Romania, not romanians which is a huge difference. If they live in Italy for 30 years and steal in the UK, I can’t call them italians, but gypsy citizens from Italy.
@@Moniq29uk yes thank you, I know, I never said they are from whichever country, my point is, I have experienced it and they are everywhere, tourists should know!

I was in Madrid a few years ago to watch a football match. Some gypsies tried to pickpocket a group of Irish woman. The Irish woman smashed them to bits. It was mayhem. Teeth on the floor ,blood everywhere. One of the gypsie woman had like 5 stab wounds

My grandmother grew up in one of the worse slums in south east Asia. She places a rat trap into her bag and locks it in armed position. No law on earth will protect a pickpocket if he gets his fingers sprung trapped
OUTSTANDING.
Lol nice
That would be illegal in most western countries where you're not allowed to set traps. Which is the why the problem is so bad.
Except in US where it you defend yourself & give back at the robber you'll be shamed
This is the west you'd be thrown in jail for doing that 🤣
Guys, you are doing a great job. You have made an awareness for the people especially the tourists about these shameful pickpockets. Bless you all 🎉
I am born in Romania and moved to Sweden at the age of 12. I am ashamed that these people are doing these kind of criminal actions in other countries and still smile when they are caught. They are present in Sweden as well. I feel ashamed that the name of my former country is represented by such individuals... Great job by these citizens on revealing these thief's. Keep on with the great work....
Arent they gypsies?
In Sweden they are usually begging. Since it's a cashless society, they'll probably end up leaving. I don't see as many as I did before covid. Still, there was a woman in front of Systembolaget on Linnégatan in Gothenburg who's probably been there for at least 15 years.
Fuck Romania.
Yes but the educated know that Roma don’t equal Romanian. They’re entirely separate and everyone hates them bc of their criminality, child brides, trafficking.
Dont worry, they're GYPSIES not real Romanians
My husband is right lots of thieves in Italy and Spain. Thank you for posting this and I hope that the authorities will take action
As a Madrid citizen that has been living here ma whole life, im so gratefull for this. Keep up the good job. Hope more local people start doing what u do.
Helping the tourists and the community you guy's are awesome. Appreciated 👏
My sister visited Hong Kong and got pickpocketed with $1k of her money on her first day while in the train and it really dampened her spirits during her vacation. These pickpockets have no shame and they don’t care if it ruins their cities reputation on tourism.
It's not their city, they are Gipsy
This money probably fed an entire family for a year. If I'd carry around cash I'd make sure it doesn't get stolen. Probably a good lesson
@n0tfr0mth1sw0rld You're justifying the thieves and saying that 1 dollar feed an entire family? Get out of here caveman
@@n0tfr0mth1sw0rldit can’t. The cost of living and food is kinda expensive
I was pickpocket in airport 2012 ,almost lost my passport,later I discover a gang of pickpocketnfrom hunan,china are responsible.
What an embarrassing country to have no police doing anything about it so locals have to do it. I'll avoid Madrid when I travel.
Thank you for exposing these creeps. I was in Paris many years ago and more than half my group got pickpocketed, all of us were attempted pick-pocketed. Yup. The pick-pockets never got money from me, 'cause I was very vigilant. Steal from a grocery store if you are hungry, but don't steal from individuals on the street. Be careful, as I also warned some German tourists on the metro in Paris, France about pickpockets (who are mostly Moroccan). The Moroccan pickpockets then physically attacked me when I exited the metro train onto the platform. The pickpockets are always in groups. One way to avoid the pickpockets in Paris is to ride the bus, not the metro. The bus is much nicer, you can look out the window and see the scenery, and no stinky crowds to deal with, and a bus driver to help you if you need it.
Good tip
I worked there for a while. Had a few near misses.
One of the charity scammers tried to pocket dip me at the sacred couer. I smashed her clip board onto the floor.
Next minute four or five guys appeared from sidelines and started to bee line to me.
I was about to jog off, maybe hit the first one, all were big belly males and I was in my prime.
A van pulled up rapid of unmarked police and saved the day. That was crazy hahaha
How do you know if they are Morroccan? Did you ask their identity papers? Egyptians,Libians,Algerians,Tunisians,Moroccans,Bulgarians,Romanians,Turks, Israelis etc have a lot of similarities (brown hair,tanned skin colour, a lot of similar specific in their face etc! How can you tell the identity
Btw stealing from a grocery store are you for real? How about them working for their money instead! People owning grocery stores are going bankrupt because all of the thefts!
@@JosJoop just a figure of speech. Do not steal.
Why is stealing from a grocery store ok? Fool 😂
When they say don’t touch me, say, “don’t touch others pockets.”
Have you seen where they touching? I think this world is blind and deaf 🧏♂️ too
JUST SAY : DON'T TOUCH ME & GIVE ME BACK MY WALLET with my ID-CARD & MY HONEST EARNED MONEY !!!!

Goddamn enabler. Enablers of violence are also violent. Sorry you were raised in violence and had no choice but to normalize it (to not see your parents as the monsters they were - which would be a threat to your life), but the time to enable violence by accepting it is OVER. No excuse for you as an adult!
You guys are actually real legends.
Living breathing legends.
No one deserves their hard earned money to be stole.
Thank you. 🙏 from a person who was pickpocketed her brand new sunglasses 🕶️ from a backpack on her anniversary trip in Santa Susanna on a train.
What youre doing is a big help not only for the locals but epecially to the tourists. These thieves kept roaming around and targeting a victim
i am italian and here they are left free to steal by the police (they get arrested and then they are freed to go after a couple of hours because here the most are pregnant women that come to italy illegally and they can't be arrested for this type of crimes because they are pregnant so the subways are full of those people that stole from everyone).
Italians are a bunch of losers
I live in Norway, and there are almost no gipsies left here, maybe because they are not let into the country either with children or while being pregnant? The few old gipsies who still come here, only beg, they don't steal..but since everybody knows that the beggars aren't even let to keep the money they beg, but have to give it all to "gipsy kings" or mafias, virtually nobody gives the beggars any money either..😊
@AZ0986688 The child protection services are liable to intervene. The other reason for the sharp decline in beggars is is that we have become largely cashless.

I very much appreciate all the people who are taking an active role in making their cities safer for everyone. I lived in Madrid for 3 years (2013-2016) and absolutely loved it so much I've been back a few times since to visit the many friends I made during my time living there. Although I had friends who were robbed, I was fortunate enough to never be a victim of these scams and I'm glad to see the people are taking a stand against these criminals. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I’m the United States they will arrest you. In state of Georgia, two men confronted a known thief in their neighborhood and the thief lashed out aggressively and tried to enter the men’s vehicles and steal the men’s weapon which resulted in the men shooting the thief in self-defense.
The powers that be didn’t like the men defending their neighbour and said the thief was defending himself. So the men are in jail for life.
Because the thief was black they made it about race. Donate to the McMichael’s givesendgo.
Good job to anyone who takes responsibility of their neighborhoods!
There is a Dutch channel called Boevenspotter. This dude caught over 1500 pickpocked criminals. Crazy how he walks around and just spot them . Great channel. peace
they are easily recognizable if you know what to look for.

Back in 2019, I was gifted a new Samsung phone. Second day I had it was on December 25, Christmas day, landed in Barcelona. Not even an hour in Barcelona, my phone got stolen! It was worth €1200!!! And when I went to the police station to report it while I was crying, the police officers told me that they won't be doing anything because it is their JOB TO STEAL. what the hell?! And during the same trip, my brother's wallet got stolen!!
Read up on the history of the Roma people. They actually consider it work to steal! Shameless. Disgusting
My mum got her iphone stolen in Spain a few years ago and unbelievably the police recovered it and posted it back to her in Scotland a few months later.
A pick pocketer stolen my phone last year in Paris. I was inside a really busy bus, was helping carrying my aquintances luggage heading to the airport. Went to checked my pocket to find that suddenly my phone disappeared out of thin air. Luckly my insurance covered it but not without having to go through endless and tiring emails. I think i guess we all found our common ground here lol
I live in Russia , my phone was stolen and within 2 days the police caught the thief and fine him for stealing. They will never come to Russia because they will jail them all for stealing
It’s an American, by the name of Soros who’s brought this to us, with his sick ‘Open Society’. They’ve taken away our country.
I like the way you guys introduced them on the train and that woman stood up and found somewhere else to seat. Great!!!

I’m from Rio de Janeiro, the Beautiful city of Crime, when Visiting Barcelona I had an Immigrant pickpocket my wallet, of course I submitted him and called the guards… was was more surprising was that the guarda where like “this guy again?” Pathetic.

What's Romania like for pickpockets? Somewhere I'm thinking of visiting in the future.
@@cherylparry8032it's not as bad as Madrid but one should be very cautious especially in public transport. Our cops are useless so don't rely on that. Keep your belongings out of touch. They'll come from behind and the most dangerous places are when you want to enter a bus or a tram. NEVER call a Romanian a gypsy. You might end up with your jaw broken. We welcome all tourists wholeheartedly but our global image is ruined by these cockroaches. Romania's nature and traditions are beautiful, we're a humble and EXTREMELY proud people and being associated with these creatures is appalling. I'm not one of these proud Romanians that's for sure. As sad as this sounds, i suggest you don't visit Romania.
@@cherylparry8032 It’s not that bad as you maybe heard.. I think is the same as other places when it’s crowded. Tbh i always take care of my stuff and a duffle bag might help you a lot wherever you go, not only in Romania haha.

There are too many pickpockets in Europe. My friend's Rolex watch was stolen while walking along the Seine River, and another friend's entire bag disappeared on the train. Pickpockets must be punished

Thanks for this. I was literally in Lisbon earlier this week. I was on a Free Walking Tour and the tour guide kept warning us about pickpocketing. I thought to myself "enough of this, we get the message." She even interrupted the tour to point out two women whom she said were regular pickpockets. My wife and I laughed, and honestly we were a bit cocky. The next day, my wife's backpack was "picked," and my wallet inside was stolen. I lost my credit cards and my US passport. I had to spend the next day going to 4-different police stations and then the U.S. Embassy. I spent hundreds to dollars between cabs, Ubers, and the fee for a new Emergency Passport. Sadly, they run rampant in Lisbon. When you travel please take this seriously. The video is accurate: most of these crimes go unpunished, most seem to be folks from Romania and Bosnia, and lastly, it will prove to be very expensive for you, and worst, very stressful.
It won't just be Romanians and Bosnians.
It will be Spanish pickpocketers too.
Typical American, very cocky. Even as a British person, i'm well aware that I'm not in my environment whilst I'm on holiday! Unfortunately, you've learnt the hard way.
@@rulleh Americans always ignore and think nothing will happen to them. It's such an ignorant attitude
How that happened after THE WARNING!???
What good of you to tell us this story. We always get a lot of advice from a lot of people in our lifes... and after we think ow I should have listen.. so thanks for telling us your story!
Thanks for this! People affect our view of the country very much. Without pickpocketers it would be much better experience and have positive views of that country and culture.
Paris needs this movement. Got attacked by 4 guys on the metro a few months ago and they took my phone right out of my front pocket (I had my hand in there but they distracted me for a few seconds). They are pretty sophisticated with fishing sites and such. Police and security couldn’t do anything. I was with friends and it still happened. We have pictures of the thieves and shared with police. I hope that people are more careful with the Summer Olympics coming up. Glad you’re doing this because I reached out to so called “influencers” and news channels to do a short bit to warn people and none gave a crap. Perhaps only when it happens to them that they start caring.
Was this early in the AM or late in the evening when there weren't many people on the metro ? And what route were you traveling ? I've never felt unsafe taking the Paris metro, so this is surprising to hear.
@@3l3llala13this was at the Concorde station around 3 PM this past early December. My two friends and I just finished a walking tour and ended at the gardens next to the Louvre. We visited the Xmas market there before heading to Montmartre. Went to the station, got our tickets, got to platform and a guy was looking at me. Didn’t think anything of it. When metro came, we got in line in front of the door. The same guy was getting at the next door but then went over to where we were trying to squeeze in. I had my hands in my front pockets like I always do on trains and buses. They squeezed my friends out and didn’t allow them to get on. They crowded me on the metro creating the illusion that it was crowded. I was going to move down towards the next door where it was more empty or get off and take the next one with my friends when they made space and allowed my friends to get on.
Then as I stood around one of the poles (was holding it with my right hand while left hand was in front left pocket where the phone was), one of them kneeled down and jangled a bunch of keys next to my right foot as if I was stepping on it. At first I just moved my foot and didn’t think anything of it. Then he continued for a bit more. I thought about kicking it away but not that kind of person. He started lifting my right foot up and down so I took my left hand out of the pocket to shoo him away with both hands saying “dude wth are you doing?” My first thought hearing metal clinging and him lifting my foot was that he was going to cuff it to the pole. That’s why I did what I did. Right then, they created a commotion and took my phone. It took 3-5 seconds and I realized “wait. My pockets are unprotected!” Went to feel for my phone and sure enough it was gone.
I didn’t allow the metro to leave, confronted them, security came out, marked phone as locked via iCloud using my friend’s phone, tried calling it, etc. Essentially, without proof, security and police couldn’t do anything. Four of them left together. I didn’t realize until that moment that it was a team sport. I am well traveled, usually careful, and never had any issues until then. Went to the police station to file a report and met so many people from all over the world that were victims of pickpockets or had their luggage broken into on the train. Paris is a beautiful city, but petty theft crimes have become rampant (similar to lots of major European cities).
After we filed the report, my friend got a text as we were leaving the police station. It said your phone’s location was updated and to login to see where it was. We were all tired after the ordeal and I went off the words of my friends that it was safe and tried logging in. Keyword is tried because after the second try, I wondered why it wasn’t working since I used the same username and pswd to mark the phone as lost earlier. I asked the other friend if this looked legit. We Googled the official icloud website and sure enough it was different. They basically got my login info to unmark the phone as lost, wipe it, and sell it. I had a passcode on as well. Anyway, this was the same night that a German tourist was killed in an ax attack near the Eiffel Tower. That happened 6 hours after I was pickpocketed. Again, beautiful city but it seems to have gotten worse vs my first visit almost 10 years ago.
That sucks so bad. I absolutely hate thieves.
Paris has it too. I saw a video about the Paris vigilantes. Same modus operandis.
never been to these touristy big cities and never wanted to.
Fabulous initiative. When I was in Lyon, a Roma girl regularly sat underneath the ATM so I went inside to ask the bank to ask her to move. Allez, allez.

As a tourist, I was mugged in Paris in metro station by a guy offering help to buy ticket.
I went to Rome in the early 90s and saw a gang of pick pockets. An elderly man in our group (a vicar wearing his white collar!) had taken traveller’s cheques for spending money and didn’t want to leave it in the hotel so took it out with him and it was stolen. He knew the woman had taken it and confronted her. She’d already passed it on so she lifted her top exposing her tits to prove she hadn’t got it. The poor vicar went purple, which was her objective, cocky bitch. I felt so sorry for the elderly vicar and his wife. We tried to chase the gang so we could tell the police where they went but they split up and disappeared. B@stards 🤬

See?? you have a fucking brain! you said it! GIPSIES, NOT ROMANIANS.. we have milions of cigans here who behave like shit. you CAN'T DENY the reality! cigans are not romanians, they just poses Romanian ID.
Just like beggars in India. I saw a beggar girl drink water in the sgadow when she was supposed to beg (was super hot) and the older woman saw her drink and started slapping her continuously. It was in the middle of the traffic. Everyone could see that but no one can do anything as police also allows them to work and might even collect a tax. And yeah they're organized gangs involving human trafficking. The kids sometimes are literally kidnapped and even mutilated for the gain. They earn more than someone who does a job, so it's good money.
