Crime in Prague

I’m an American tourist staying in Prague, in the Czech Republic. Prague is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, four of our 45 tour members have been robbed during our four-day stay here. A lady had her purse stolen, and three men had their pockets picked on the subway. My wife and I have traveled to many of the world’s major cities, including Beijing, Moscow, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Berlin, London and Madrid. None of these cities have the tourist pickpocket problem that Prague has.

I urge the mayor and the police of Prague to take back their city from the thieves.
