We had just exited the Eurostar in Paris and easily followed the signs to the Metro line 4 that would take us to our hotel. As we were pulling our luggage onto the train a girl was trying to block me and jostle me. Immediately my radar went off because this is a key sign that you are being targeted by a pickpocket (read tons of info on pickpocketing and signs of it online before our trip), sure enough I glanced down and this 14ish old girl was trying to get into my purse (my purse for traveling is a cross-body strap that hangs on my body).
