I've been seeing a lot of videos of pickpockets in Europe lately. Is this a new thing, or has it been like this for a long time?

it's been like this in certain cities for many, many years
civilian kickbacks are for sure more effective at solving the problem vs passive acceptance / thinking the police would / could solve it
They’re filmed more easily with 360 cameras on sticks now. Police know where they ALL operate but haven’t done anything. Larger covert plan to put people coming to the cities and travelling in general. Most tourist phone theft isn’t reported by tourists, its been shit in London since 2022, feral youth.
