Well if you've never experienced it then I guess it just never happens?!

Canada, or 'Canada' in French, was derived from "Kanata" the Iroquois word for Village. Not sure there ever was a local world for the country known as Canada though? Would love to be enlightened if so.
Because in America, they don't want the masses to have an opinion that the masters didn't give them to have. Having you educated by an unrestrained academia is counterproductive to their advancement of doublespeak.
I thought this was a bong for way too long...
Hey, if the stars and planets affect people's behaviour... Just saying.
All's I was saying. Danke.
Here here! It's what they are indoctrinated to do in their defense. You make a good point that decades and decades of effort has gone into making things more secure has reduced the risk/reward for stuff like pickpocketing. I would bet they mostly target things like travel documentation now for identity theft, something more varied and readily available in multi country Europe than North America.
Just like it is your decision to make too? Do you not see how that applies right back to you as the victim that then perpetrates a crime? It is in no way moral to gun some one down because they stole your chocolate bar, or your daughters virginity for that matter. It is your decision to act in retaliation, howsoever you do, and yes you should be held accountable for how YOU handle a situation, any situation.
Do you hang around in large crowded tourist spots a lot? Crowded subways? Because that's where they are, not walking down main St. Go to times square during any major event and they are out there, but as others commented, not at the levels you'll see in European countries. Why, who knows? Tactics change over the years, they've probably found more profitable avenues of theft in the USA, God knows it is rampant.
You are wrong. American manufacturers are captured by the oil conglomerates to sell fuel. That's why you have giant behemoths barrelling down the highways. F150s have almost doubled in size over the last two decades.
