Lest folks reading this get the impression tourists are regularly preyed upon by thieves on the street and Metro in Paris: they are not.

Really? After having a bag of really nice gear stolen in broad daylight in Rome last September, we came home and did some research and Paris seems to be right alongside Rome and other major European cities in which tourists are particularly targeted for theft.

Tourists are targeted everywhere for theft because they often carry more valuables and are less clueful about securing them. However, I will say that I'd put Rome in a completely different category than Paris regarding the danger of street crime. Paris is about as dangerous as Denver IMHO.
