I've heard that when visiting Europe and traveling on their train systems, that pickpockets are common. Is that true, and what techniques do they use?

Yes, pickpockets are quite common in Europe, especially in tourist areas and on public transportation. They use a variety of techniques to steal from unwary travelers, such as distraction, the snap-thief method, and opportunistic theft. The most important thing to do is to keep your valuables out of sight and securely zipped away in a secure bag, such as a fanny pack or a hidden money belt.
