Be careful on the public transport around Pompeii (Pickpockets)
Just want to put out a warning to anyone traveling on the public transport around Pompeii to be cautious of pickpockets.
Today we were returning to Naples from the Pompeii station which was very crowded while getting back onto the train. Firstly I noticed a man was pushing very close to my wife in front of me, kind of shoving her onto the train (it was very busy) I then looked down and his hand was inside my pocket, I was seconds away from having my wallet stolen. I confronted him when I noticed and made others very aware of what he was trying, he then immediately left the train.
I didn't actually have much inside my wallet, only a few euros/train tickets wanted them handy at the station incase they wee checked as I was aware of the threat of pickpockets but it shocked me that I had been targeted.
I know this can and does happen anywhere in the world, not just in Italy or Naples, but I just want to make everyone aware to be cautious while at these stations. Keep any valuables in a secure place and always keep an eye out for those you are traveling with.
