"Don't learn the hard way!"

Having had to park (and not so happily) in a downtown Boston parking building . . . one of the most expensive that Marash Girl can remember, she was surprised to see the above warning posted prominently in every corner of every level; you'd think the parking fee would guarantee a certain amount of security!

Be that as it may, the sign reminded Marash Girl of the sign she saw posted many years ago as she entered the elevator that would take her to the top of the Eiffel Tower.  The sign was in French, of course, but Marash Girl still remembers its import:  Beware of the pickpockets!  She was so surprised!  In that beautiful city there were pickpockets?
