Editor's Note: This testimonial is your first known stop in Poland and originally came to use from a Facebook comment:

It turns out that Malcolm had previously reported stopped pick-pockets #45/46 in Paris and Rome, so this is only stop #111. You can read the previous testimonials here: 45th & 46th Stopped Pick-Pockets: One In Paris & One In Rome

Here is what happened in Poland for stop #111:

Dear Clothing Arts,

Yesterday in Poland. Gdansk. One of the group was pick-pocketed. For the past 6 years, I have used your products. Shirt, shorts, and pants. At any rate, I told everyone in the group about Clothing Arts. The wife of the gentleman who lost his wallet, along with 5 others. Also wrote down, or entered your information into their phones. I hope you see some new customers from this.

Thank to Clothing Arts I have not had these problems.

Thanks.

Editor's Note: This is your 19th stopped pick-pocket in Paris!

Dear Clothing Arts,

Thank you THANK YOU VERY MUCH...

The last time I was in Paris trying to see the Mona Lisa in that jam-packed room at the Louvre, a VERY determined woman made several tries at my Pick-Pocket Proof® Business Travel Pants back pocket.

I had some Paris travel brochures stored there and she would just not stop even when I turned around and gave her my best indignant glare. FUNNY, I know, but since I had nothing to lose I let her continue!?!?!?

I had no choice really because the Mona Lisa was on my bucket list and you know that belly to belly crowd of selfie taking teenagers was hard to accommodate. I made it through finally and got to see her from a distance, behind the THICK glass; all while being felt up by an OLD French woman!!! Oh, and she never even got around to undoing the button….

Dear Clothing Arts,

On October 17, 2018, we arrived at the train station in Nice, France. With luggage, we needed to take an elevator to the walkway over the tracks. The elevator was crowded and included two women with strollers. One, next to me, had a blanket across the stroller handles where her hands were. As the elevator doors closed I felt her shifting next to me. When we got out, the zipper of my Pick-Pocket Proof Pants pocket was partially down. Thanks to the great design of these pants, though, nothing was taken.

Thanks for these great pants.

Editor's Note: This is your first stop in Singapore!

Dear Clothing Arts,

While in Singapore, I was strolling thru a super crowded gold jewelry bazaar wearing the green Adventure Cargo Pants and feeling very locked down and secure, but also much more cognizant and aware of my surroundings. I was being pressed in on both sides by men when I felt several tugs on my back right pocket triggering my response to rapidly whip around breaking the press of two larger men on each side and looking down straight in the eyes of a shorter man about half my size. Frankly, it was rather startling and did surprise them, at which point all three of the scoundrels dispersed, leaving me feeling rather satisfied knowing that my passport, credit cards, and money were still tucked safely away. What a great feeling to have on the highways and byways of Southeast Asia. Truly a work of art. My problem is remembering how to access my own stuff in my own pants pockets. Takes a bit of getting used to.

Editor's Note: This is the second stopped pick-pocket by a traveler wearing our Women's Travel Pants and the 23rd stopped pick-pocket in Rome!

Dear Clothing Arts,

I had a similar Rome incident in the subway/train at the end of my via Francigena hike from Lausanne. thanks for your product - I only wish you had smaller sizes for small women.

** We followed up to learn more about the story and to confirm that this was a stopped pick-pocket. Here is her response:

Yes, I was in the subway in Rome... I was standing up next to the pole, with some friends and another woman intentionally banged into me. It was clear that she was trying to pick my pocket. I yelled at her and pushed her away. Because of Clothing Arts, she didn’t have a chance to get anything. I had just finished the via Francigena and everything I owned was with me. Thanks to you I still have everything 🤗

Editors Note: This is your third confirmed stop in Morocco and first in Marrakesh!

Dear Clothing Arts,

Marrakesh is a very fast paced city when you think about shopping in the souks and walking Jemaa el-Fna (market square). At night the market becomes alive and packed with people exploring the food and juice stalls, watching exotic street performers, listening to musicians, and getting tattoos from the tattoo artists. With this, there are also people targeting tourists, not only to pressure them to eat at their food stalls but also trying to pickpocket them. Going to the market square with my friend was quite an overwhelming experience.

When we first got there, we started walking on the outsides of the square to get our bearings and soak it all in from afar. Taking one big lap around, we see possible stalls we want to check out in the middle of the market. This was a big mistake as touts and promoters of certain food stalls would come up to us and encourage us to look at their menu. They would physically put their hands on us to try to guide us to their open seats. I pretended to be Barry Sanders as I juked and spin-moved away from them.

Finally, at the end of a row, we were cornered by a few touts. One of them grabbed my hand to shake and placed his other hand on my shoulder to hold me there. As he squeezed my hand as hard as he could, I started to laugh. I’m laughing because I know this is a setup and I feel someone try to open up my flap closure on my right front pocket. As I look down, I see a hand from behind me disappear. I’ve just thwarted a pickpocket attempt of my iPhone and I tell my friend to get the hell out of there. We pull some swim moves and get out of the mess to the safety of a rooftop terrace to survey the square. Looking down, I’m grateful to have the pick-pocket proof pants, as I always keep my wallet (left pocket) and iPhone (right pocket) on the inside pocket protected by the zipper, plus, the outside zipper AND the flap closure. Triple security always ensures the pickpockets lose.

Editor's Note: This testimonial came from a recent ***** review and is your 22nd stopped pick-pocket in Rome!

Dear Clothing Arts,

My order was back-ordered for about 8 weeks, but it was worth the wait. The color and fabric are awesome. It was everything I expected and wished for. I am a world traveler performing quality audits all over the world and have my share of pick-pocket attempts. The most recent one in Rome, Italy while on the train. A girl just made full body contact and that was enough to tell her to "Get away, don't touch me."

By this time I noticed she had already opened my pocket zipper on my pants. With your clever zipper design opening from the bottom up, that will immediately pose resistance in addition to the other safety features. I am truly happy with my purchase and can't wait till the next frustrated pick-pocket. I will order additional pants from you guys.
