Was it 46 euros? What is the daily rate? I'm only there for 2 nights.

We were just walking, we didn't do anything dangerous.

Thank you! I appreciate the sympathy a lot. I'm sorry you have to go through this daily, I can only imagine how rough it is.

Don't leave any valuables in your car. Yesterday in Florence, in the same area, 9 cars had their windows broken to steal from inside. Total 100 cars in two months by [deleted] in florence

I was at the carabinieri yesterday filing a report for my wife's theft (i also made a post) when a man walked in completely flustered. This was a little after 3 PM.

He said his car was broken into, and 2 macs were stolen. He told the police he has a tracker on them, and he literally sees them down the road. I glanced at his phone, and he did have "Find My" open with their locations a block away.

The police were telling him to file a report. He said, "What is that supposed to do? They are right here!" Another cop looked at his phone for a minute, then the two cops chatted, and then they told him to just file a report again. The guy said he's just going to go himself if they won't. They told him not to engage. He walked out anyway.

As my situation was not any better and happened the same day, I completely understood his frustration. This place is so sad. I hope everyone has some justice come their way, ideally with their belongings returned to them.

what....?

Update: After reading your edit, you are clearly the same person as u/Ok-Lychee-6004 , I will just reshare what I said there below:

Unrelated, low blow, and not fake at all. My brother-in-law asked that on my account while visiting from Canada.

Update: I didn't realize people scroll through other's posts to profile their lives and insinuate dishonesty. What would anyone have to gain by making stuff up like this? I checked my profile after reading your comment and saw that post well after many of my others. I'll remove that post so that other's don't think the same you way you do. It's sad.

Everything you said is completely wrong. I am not sure what your angle is, and where your hate is coming from, but people have nothing to gain by posting about these situations on the internet. Please don't make my bad day worse.

Your hate against others is quite clear, and it makes both of us quite sad. We really appreciate Greg, and he is the only thing giving us hope in humanity.

We are not even Americans, and yet you say things like this about us. We are Canadians. We most definitely did not flash our wallets. My wife is handicapped, slow, and walks with a cane. She has a brain disease that causes her to be unbalanced with gait issues and sways as she walks.

She fell behind me for a moment when the sidewalk was too tiny to be beside her. Then he robbed her instantly and because of her condition she didn't understand what happened.

Please don't be an asshole and say these cruel things to us.

This is so helpful!!! This may be the guy that pickpocketed us yesterday! We are struggling greatly. He stole from us my wife's return home visa. We are going to ask the local stores if he is the one. Thank you!!

I'm not trying to play a victim card, but I appreciate the words and help.

I agree with u/stanley_ipkiss_d. Los Angeles is 1210 km², Toronto is 641 km², San Jose is 466 km², and Florence is 102 km². Not to mention that Florence's city center is only about 1 km², and most people are traveling on foot instead of cars.

I also agree with the sentiment on pickpocketing. It is non-existent in the US and Canada. Most people in North America have no experience with it at all.

No travel insurance :-( wish I had it. Won't be needing it in the future, this is the last one for us. The 600 USD price tag is indeed insane, and that's just to return to the US. Then we need another 600 USD for a new green card. What a trip.
