Crime in Western Europe up?

[kittynh]

Pool Boy is enjoying his usual trip to Europe for business. He said everyone warned him "crime is way up" in Europe. He said since "the natives" are always complaining he didn't pay attention. For the first time though it seems the "group" has had some crime.

While they stay at really nice hotels, usually a Novhotel or nicer Holiday Inn, there hasn't usually been any breakins. Is this just a rumor or bad luck?

Here is part of his email




Now that the EU has opened up to ten additional countries, they have
seen quite an increase in crime in Western Europe. We are seeing it
big time this week. Andrew had his camera stolen in Brussels and
someone broke into Doug's room last night and stole his laptop while he
was at dinner.

I have no opinion but that's a cool avatar.
