NY is turning into a third world sh*thole like Sao Paulo.

The headline cites “International” thieves...from France? Germany?
Oh no, not those innocent family people from south of the border.

You’re mind is somewhere in 1970. Brooklyn is absolutely beautiful, although almost as expensive as Manhattan these days. Queens and Harlem are both very nice now too. There’s some bad pockets, but they’re easily avoidable. And stay out of the Bronx.

Smart. Also smart are the crossbody bags with wallet as part of the bag. You can’t get it out. You’d have to do harm to the woman wearing it first and pickpockets will choose another victim.

...New York City! America’s premiere $hit hole!

I have to disagree. San Franshitco seems to have taken the honor, literally, by using the sidewalks as their preferred dumping ground. I could post a picture...but...nay,nay.

“I have to disagree. San Franshitco seems to have taken the honor, literally, by using the sidewalks as their preferred dumping ground. I could post a picture...but...nay,nay.”

But Size Matters, and as $hitty as SF is today, it’s less than a tenth the size of NYC.
