    I know someone who got robbed in Barcelona New robbing technique: group hugs! Victim says: "A group of 10 guys walked up to me and put their arms around me, then held my arms to prevent me using them, and put their hands in my pockets and grabbed my camera. I wasn't hurt, but quite shaken up."

    I know someone who got robbed in Barcelona Anecdote: A small airport in Ireland has a dedicated employee to deal with lost car parking tickets. Why? Because there's a daily flight from Barcelona, and so many passengers return without wallets... "Over 90% of all my enquiries are from people returning from Barcelona."
