My pockets were picked in Rome in 1981 by two urchins, one shoving a
picture under my nose and trying to "sell" it, the other boosting my
wallet, passport, tickets, kit, boodle --- the works. It was neatly
done. And the kids were absolutley beautiful, a brother and sister
probably. About eight to ten years old.
