Sinopsis

Travel Tales: Pickpockets & Other Thievesáis the next book in theáTrue Travel Tales seriesáof very scary travel stories ofápickpocketing and theft in travel. If you are pickpocketed or robbed we hope you manage to escape in your travels with only minor consequences. Thisábook is a collection of the fearful and potentially dangerous sorts of things that can and do happen to travelers on occasion, but mostly these will not happen to you. YouâÇÖll read examplesáof the real, raw fear and very unsettling occasions that may pop up now and again in your travels.áThis book includes trueátales of the variety of robberies, thefts, assaults, scams, some cons games, and even close calls of kidnappings (yes&hellip, a form of theft, after all). Also included are tales of successes andáfailures in connection with all sorts ofátravel situations including chases, foiled kidnappings, bandits, sexual harassment and attacks, roadblocks, scary places, trips from hell, borders, and police, hitchhiking, international spying, smuggling, intrigue, and sometimes merely being in theáwrong places at the wrong times.áAlso included is, say you just happened to catch a pickpocket. What then? What in the world do you do with the pickpocket?áThis book isáthe place to read aboutáthe accounts of the dangers and mishaps of others. And youâÇÖll gain a healthier respect for what it is like to experience the true dangers and risks of travel and adventure. And with a better knowledge and respect of travel and its potential dangers and risks, hopefully, youâÇÖll gain a better sense of safety, security,áenjoyment, and appreciation of your travels.áPickpockets & Other Thieves includes many examples of bad things that happen on occasion to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid such things. But bad things DO happen on occasion, and the best thing to do is, of course, to avoid them in the first place. But if we cannot, we should at least do our best toáescape them.áAgain, while thereâÇÖs no easy, simple miracle list of failsafe strategies for always staying safe and secure in dangerous situations that may arise, there are, nevertheless, meaningful takeaway strategies from the many examples presented in thisábook that willáenable you to better enhance your personal safety and security and reduce the risks of potentially dangerous outcomes in travel.áWhile many of the tales in this book are not strictly about life and death situations surrounding travel, many are about difficult, embarrassing, and otherwise annoying nuisances that we all would do well to better avoid and do without.áThe scope and variety of pickpocketing and thievery in this book may surprise you. And some would never likely even occur to you. And, indeed such misadventures may never happen to you, but after reading about such things in thisábook, it should at leastágive you pause &mdash, who knows? maybe youâÇÖll never suffer the indignity and inconvenience of aápickpocketing event, other thefts, cons, or scams after all.áSure, youâÇÖll read stories in the True Travel Talesábook series that will alert you to situations that may never even occur to you. But if you avoid even one new travel danger that you might never have even thought of by reading theseábooks, then IâÇÖll have accomplished a very useful purpose.
