Policeman had pocket picked in Majorca
Salzburg police spokesman Anton Schentz has had his pockets picked while on holiday in Majorca.
Speaking about the instant he said: "Exactly that what I always warn people about is exactly what has just happened to me."
He said it shows that even a professional was not safe from professional pickpockets.
The unidentified thief made off with the policeman's driving licence, police ID card, credit card, and about 250 Euros in cash. He said: "I have to admit that I made all the classic mistakes. I was on my way to the beach when somebody pinched the stuff from my pocket. I was in a hurry and didn't take the time to put my valuables in the hotel safe."
He said: "I did catch a glimpse of the thief and I made a report but I don't have much hope of seeing anything that was pinched ever again."
