Officials at the U.S. Army Europe Office of the Provost Marshal want newcomers to Europe to be aware of some ways they can get ripped off and some things they can do to safeguard against them. Pickpockets are also common in Europe and stalk their victims, preferably in crowded areas, to strike when they are vulnerable. OPM law enforcement chief Joseph Day said people should beware of being jostled, bumped or crowded, and be alert to actions such as a person dropping something or causing a loud commotion that may be staged distractions to help a thief grab a victims valuables unnoticed. Day recommended that women carry their handbags or purses in front of them and men should place their wallet if the front pants pocket to help thwart pickpockets. More information on these and other crime prevention topics is available at the OPM website. ow.ly/zrAOR
