By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | July 8th, 2009 | Trackback

Summertime is peak season for both tourism and street crime, with pickpockets and purse-snatchers working airports, train stations and hotels, especially in lobbies and restaurants.

Crooks are after money, credit cards and jewelry.
