At the time, there was a place called Lokal that was some of the best Czech food we had. Otherwise we just walked around the old town and hillsides while drinking a ton of beer. Zvonice in the clocktower was romantic and the kind of spot I wish Nashville had more of (ornate/cozy/hygge). I would hope a lot more has opened up in the past 9 years We tried hitting up lokal for dinner last night but it's packed for a week... so thinking about trying there again for lunch or maybe even zvonice. Looks like a good recommendation, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Never been there myself ….but my Dad always said of all the cities he had ever visited in his travels, Prague and Istanbul were his two favorites. However, I believe it was Prague where he said pickpockets are everywhere, and they’re a huge problem…far worse than anywhere else he’d ever seen. They specifically target tourists….and they’re unbelievably good at what they do. He told an incredible story about his buddy getting ripped off on a crowded train: Despite keeping his wallet, passport, and valuables hidden in a zipped inside pocket in his jacket and keeping the jacket zipped up, a pair of pickpockets working in tandem were able to get to that inside pocket and take everything without him ever suspecting a thing. It wasn’t until after he exited the train that he realized he’d been hit. (He eventually figured out how they must have done it and what their system was…but it’s a rather long and drawn-out story.)

And you think people wouldn't be interested in this long and drawn-out story because...? Long and drawn-out shit is why this forum still stands even after Titans Central went the way of the Titanic.

Long and drawn-out shit is why this forum still stands even after Titans Central went the way of the Titanic. I didn't want my previous post to turn into a TL;DR novel. And I also didn't want to bother typing it out unless folks were actually interested in reading it. As mentioned, this guy was riding a crowded commuter train out of Prague. He'd already been warned about pickpockets...so he had his wallet, passport, etc inside a zipped interior pocket of his jacket and kept the front of the jacket zipped up. After deboarding, he realized the pocket was empty and his stuff was gone.....so despite his best efforts, he'd been ripped off. After going back through everything in his mind, he believes he figured out happened: The train was packed and standing-room-only....lots of people jostling around and bumping up against each other. Every time someone bumped up against him, the hat he wore would get bumped slightly askew....so every couple minutes, he was having to reach up and adjust his hat. Which is nothing out of the ordinary...he didn't really notice or think anything about it until later. But when he looked back on it, he figured out that the people bumping and brushing up against him were actually two pickpockets working in tandem: one guy who would bump up against him ever-so-slightly from behind...and in the process, give the hat just enough of a push to knock it slightly out of position to make him reach up and adjust it. And in that brief moment where he was distracted with the hat, a second pickpocket (standing in front of him) would reach out and just ever-so-slightly slide the zipper on the front of jacket just a fraction of an inch. By working in tandem and coordinating these seemingly innocuous bumps and movements every minute or two, the thieves were able to slowly unzip the front of the jacket just enough to slip a hand inside...and then to unzip and empty that interior pocket.

Damn that was long...and boring Just kidding...that is interesting. Even just the fact that they took the risk of getting busted without even knowing whether there was anything that pocket. There are hundreds of videos on YouTube and the professionals are very good at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely sounds plausible. From what I hear they tend to use touch to distract you from pressure elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
