Italy: Generally busy throughout the year, cities such as Rome and Pisa present the professional thieves with the ideal opportunity to pick off travelers at ease.
France: Paris attracts tourists in droves. Tight streets and busy museums are favorite places for trained pickpockets to ply their trade.
Czech Republic: With less policing but still stunning tourist attractions in cities such as Prague, it is essential that valuables are kept out of site and secure at all times.
Argentina: Watch out for locals appearing to help remove fake bird droppings. Whilst they are cleaning you up they might be clearing out your valuables.
Greece: Cities such as Athens can take your breath away with their wonder and beauty. Whilst gazing at the buildings and statues, beware of a bump from a local who might be distracting you whilst reaching inside open bags or accessible pockets.
UK: London might seem secure and the British polite and helpful. Don't underestimate the level of crime in the main tourist areas and on the tube, in particular, where you will be crammed against other travelers - the perfect opportunity for a pickpocket.

In the modern world identity theft is becoming more of a problem with thieves using special scanners to copy electronic information stored on passport and identity chips.
