Astonishing footage shows how brazen Rio thieves target unsuspecting tourists

  1. Reminiscent of the monkeys of Gibraltar.
    They sneak up behind tourists and steal shit out of their backpacks. The only difference is that the tour guides on Gibraltar give you a heads-up.
    Oh – you can’t assault the monkeys, either – I saw one guy pleading with a monkey to return his glasses – the monkey was unaffected by his pleas.

  2. The o-limp-ics…. could have been in Chicago, there you could get raped, robbed, shot and killed.

    Those rich and famous Visitors to the o-limp-ics should consider themselves lucky to better the lives of thugs of Brazil. You know, spread the wealth progressively world-wide and still go home afterwards.
