A few years ago, I traveled throughout Europe with my parents. We spent about a week in Bulgaria.
Still, it remains the most regrettable vacation destination I’ve ever been to. I have another answer written about the experience here: Alexander Lee's answer to Have you ever visited any destination(s) that you considered not worth the effort?
In addition to the scam artists, Bulgaria is notorious for its pickpockets. Throughout that one week, I’ve had my phone charger stolen from my bag, and my wallet from my back pocket. I’m not entirely sure how these pickpockets are able to work their way into my pockets and bag without me noticing, but it’s f*cking annoying. Thankfully, my wallet was a cheap fabric wallet with less than $20 USD worth of stuff in it.
So, on the last day I was there, I decided to play a little prank on the pickpockets and thieves. I went down to the computer station in the hotel lobby and used the printer to print a few hundred LEV (Bulgarian currency). I bought a cheaper wallet at a corner store, packed the fake currency into it, and in the ID slot I drew this:
I wore the loosest pants I had, and placed the wallet in the back pocket.
And, at night, went into the most crowded area nearby that I could find. I spent a few hours wandering around, and when I returned to my hotel, the wallet was missing (of course).
I hope the pickpocket got the message. (hehe…)
