It happens to the best of us...

...but still feels rotten when you are pickpocketed in your home city. Tonight after dinner with friends from England (Rupert and Carol) and their kids, and their American friends and their kids, my mini iPad was lifted out my bag as we walked up the Ramblas. We thought we had the guys who did it but one emptied his own bag and the other dropped his trousers to show they didn't have it on them, but I think they had swiftly passed it back like a ball out a scrum to one of their pals, and there wasn't a policeman in sight to call over to interrogate them further.

Sloppiness on my part, especially after all the warnings we give visitors. An expensive night out, and a long time now wiping out the data on it through the iCloud mechanisms, following the guides as featured here.
