St. Petersburg - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there personal security concerns to be aware of at this post? Please describe.
Pickpocketing is a problem especially during the summer at the touristy spots around town and on public transportation. There are also some other post- specific issues... - Apr 2017
Pick pocketing and petty theft. I know folks who had wallets stolen while waiting to board the bus, or while pinned in a tight crowd on a bus. - Feb 2016
Pick-pockets are the main concern. There are highly trained groups of pickpockets who seemingly go 'unnoticed' by the local police. Many people are pick-pocketed once during their tour and never realized it was happening at the time. - Aug 2011
