Yes, seriously. All that happened to us, and it was probably because
we were in the area around Termini, which was what I was trying to
disuade the original poster from. Your response makes me wonder if
Barbara, normally a good poster thought my report was made up. I only
wish it were!! It happened years ago, and I've posted it from time to
time, trying to tell people to not stay in the Termini area. (Although
I've heard it's gotten better lately.)

>Sorry to hear your story if it is true.

Thanks. I always use an inside-the-pants wallet now, and haven't had
problems since. But as you can tell from my post, it felt like we were
utterly under siege. The throwing-the-baby incident when I was on the
way to the police station to report the pickpocketing, convinced
me--at that time, anyway--that there was no law there at all. The
gypsies did the same thing to another party as I watched from down the
block.

Oh, yes, now I remember you! It happened years ago: that rang a bell,
although you were posting under a different name then. What on earth
makes you think your experience years ago has any relevance for a
traveller to Italy in 2005 who wants to stay near Termini?

I wouldn't choose to stay near Termini myself in most situations, but
only because it's not a very convenient location. A year ago my
husband and I stayed near Termini because I had a meeting with some
American colleagues who were also staying near Termini. We walked
around late at night while we were there, without problems. My
daughter lived in an apartment near Termini for about six months and
neither she nor the other students with whom she shared an apartment
had any unpleasant experience. An acquaintance of my daughter who was
visiting Rome around the time my daughter lived there had a bag
stolen, and that might have happened near Termini. But that's the only
case I know. When I go to Rome, I travel in and out of Termini and I
have been there so many times I've lost count. I sometimes see drugged
out backpackers in the station, or Rom women begging, and once I was
approached on a track by a German-speaking beggar, but I have never
had anything stolen, nor been accosted by anyone.

I'm not saying it can't happen, but to continue to warn people based
on an outdated experience is not helpful.

I wouldn't choose to stay near Termini myself in most situations, but
only because it's not a very convenient location. A year ago my
husband and I stayed near Termini because I had a meeting with some
American colleagues who were also staying near Termini. We walked
around late at night while we were there, without problems. My
daughter lived in an apartment near Termini for about six months and
neither she nor the other students with whom she shared an apartment
had any unpleasant experience. An acquaintance of my daughter who was
visiting Rome around the time my daughter lived there had a bag
stolen, and that might have happened near Termini. But that's the only
case I know. When I go to Rome, I travel in and out of Termini and I
have been there so many times I've lost count. I sometimes see drugged
out backpackers in the station, or Rom women begging, and once I was
approached on a track by a German-speaking beggar, but I have never
had anything stolen, nor been accosted by anyone.

I'm not saying it can't happen, but to continue to warn people based
on an outdated experience is not helpful.

Oh, yes, now I remember you! It happened years ago: that rang a bell,
although you were posting under a different name then. What on earth
makes you think your experience years ago has any relevance for a
traveller to Italy in 2005 who wants to stay near Termini?

had any unpleasant experience. An acquaintance of my daughter who was
visiting Rome around the time my daughter lived there had a bag
stolen, and that might have happened near Termini. But that's the only
case I know. When I go to Rome, I travel in and out of Termini and I
have been there so many times I've lost count. I sometimes see drugged
out backpackers in the station, or Rom women begging, and once I was
approached on a track by a German-speaking beggar, but I have never
had anything stolen, nor been accosted by anyone.

I'm not saying it can't happen, but to continue to warn people based
on an outdated experience is not helpful.

Oh, yes, now I remember you! It happened years ago: that rang a bell,
although you were posting under a different name then. What on earth
makes you think your experience years ago has any relevance for a
traveller to Italy in 2005 who wants to stay near Termini?

I wouldn't choose to stay near Termini myself in most situations, but
only because it's not a very convenient location. A year ago my
husband and I stayed near Termini because I had a meeting with some
American colleagues who were also staying near Termini. We walked
around late at night while we were there, without problems. My
daughter lived in an apartment near Termini for about six months and
neither she nor the other students with whom she shared an apartment
had any unpleasant experience. An acquaintance of my daughter who was
visiting Rome around the time my daughter lived there had a bag
stolen, and that might have happened near Termini. But that's the only
case I know. When I go to Rome, I travel in and out of Termini and I

What's that? As I've been saying, it happened some years ago; readers
are informed about that. Some people have told me the area's improved,
some have said no. What makes you think my experience has no relevance
