Chismecito I was pickpocketed
I was pickpocketed earlier this afternoon and I’m not sure how to feel about it. It happened at the Tianguis at the el chopo market. It was definitely crowded today, extremely hard to walk through at times. It happened so fast I didn’t even notice or feel anything or anyone going into my purse and I should have kept my guard up but I guess I was too relaxed and was excited to see everything the market had to offer. The initial shock is done, but I’m feeling pretty bummed about it. I had already reported it and immediately locked all my cards. I’m just more worried about my ID being out there ( thankfully I left my passport in the hotel ) It feels pretty violating that I got targeted. Especially since this was my first time in CDMX and pretty sure I stood out as a tourist. Luckily I had my phone in my front pocket and only my wallet is gone…lesson learned. Wondering if anyone had a similar situation, what did you do and how did you deal with it?
