As the world prepares for the London Olympic Games that get underway later this week a new warning has been issued to tourist who will be traveling overseas to view the games. This warning has nothing to do with extreme terrorist or suicide bombers, this warning is about something that has been going on in London since London was founded. That is the threat of pickpockets.

Pickpockets are everywhere in Europe. In my travels I found the greatest threats to be in London and Barcelona Spain. There are also bands of gypsies that congregate around the coliseum in Rome Italy to take from the unsuspecting tourist. How good are these guys at getting your hard earned money, cellphones, laptops and iPads? Just watch this video and you will see how it's done.
