Today someone tried to pickpocket me in the bus from the airport to Cusco city centre. Fortunately I noticed and said loudly he should stop trying to pickpocket me. The people then reacted and asked him to get off the bus. He did. Later I noticed my rucksack was also open and my teabags were missing Luckily that’s all I lost. The thief operated in a crowded bus. He got very close and had an empty backpack with which he covered his hand while he was trying to open my pocket. I almost didn’t feel anything. I was probably targeted right from the airport although the thief got in the bus at a later stop. Someone might have told him there’s a silly tourist taking the bus…
