It is said that European thieves have reached a consensus that they can steal Chinese money and goods, but absolutely cannot steal Chinese mobile phones.
It happened in Milan. As soon as a girl got off the subway, her mobile phone was taken away. Unexpectedly, the friend next to her rushed up to the car door, chased the thief all the way, and finally grabbed the mobile phone back.
Not a few days ago, that video was on the Internet, praised a million, commentary area "too violent" "this is the way Chinese people go out."
Since then, there has been a "consensus" circulating in the European thief circle that you can steal whatever you want, and don't touch Chinese mobile phones. Actually, it didn't happen suddenly. In recent years, the problem of theft in Europe has been quite serious, especially for Asian tourists.
Chinese people are targeted, not because of anything else, but because they "look easy to bully", which used to be the case. The mobile phone is hung around the neck, the bag is placed casually, and the cash is packed in a centralized way. Many people feel that if they lose it, they will lose it. If they are strangers, it is useless to call the police.
Not to mention those tour groups, guides rushed to the sights, someone was stolen, even stopped to report the case, there is no time. but now it is different. don't look at the Chinese tourists who are now abroad smiling, if it really happened, it was a second to change the face.
On the Paris subway, a boy's cell phone was stolen and directly chased out two kilometers, pressing people to the ground. Barcelona was more exaggerated, and someone's luggage was stolen and caught up not only to come back, but also to let the thieves apologize to him.
As a result, the thief was frightened and rushed directly to the police for help, saying, "Save me, I am afraid of him."You think this is a case? wrong.
Travel agencies arrange anti-theft lessons, social platforms cover a variety of "theft guidelines", embassy abroad will also send security alerts. Everyone knows how to hide cash, how to prevent theft of packages, how to locate mobile phones.
Not to mention the mobile phone.Now the domestic phone, is simply the nightmare of the thief.You think that stealing can sell money?OPPO, glorify these phones, leave the owner three meters to call the alarm, strongly dismantle direct spraying material, brushing machine to be officially certified.
Honor's AI recognition system can judge whether it is operating normally. Once an abnormality is identified, the phone will directly become a brick and no one can use it. So you see, thieves are not fools either.
They stole something else, maybe even a bet. steal Chinese mobile phones? that risk is too high. can't catch well, if it is discovered, it is an escape game. Now they all know that Chinese tourists' mobile phones are not a tool, it is the root of life.
And even if he really stole it, he wouldn't be able to sell it for a few dollars. In the past, Chinese mobile phones could sell for three or five hundred euros on the black market. Now? Nobody wants two hundred. It can't be sold, it can't be used, and it's easy to be exposed on the Internet. When thieves add up, why do they have to find this trouble?
What about the other stuff, you might ask? Still stealing. Luggage, wallet, watch, cash, still steal. For example, in July this year, a Chinese tour group had dinner near the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The bus was pried and all its luggage was gone.
Passports, medicines, clothes, and even more than 70,000 watches were wiped away. Someone had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital.
There is almost no border check between the countries of the Schengen area, theft and escape, today in Rome, tomorrow in Paris, and the next day in Amsterdam.
And the law is soft. Theft of less than 300 euros in France is often not even filed. Italy is even more exaggerated. Thieves under the age of 14 are hardly punished. How do you think this makes people live?
But the question arises, why the Chinese mobile phone has become something that can not be touched? the reason is actually simple, steal this, it is not worth it. First, the mobile phone technology is too advanced.
Second, the awareness of rights is too strong.Today's Chinese tourists are not the kind of people who used to "calculate".It happened, not only to call the police, but also to pursue themselves, and even social media exposure.
Third, the official support was too fast.The embassy reacted at an astonishing pace, someone stole their wallet, received a call to the consulate within half an hour, and the next day went to the police station.
There are many thieves in the heart, and this kind of person is better not to bother.Now European thieves are "remembering each other", Chinese wallets can be stolen, mobile phones do not move.
Because they know that stealing a cell phone is not only hard to handle, it can also bring a bunch of trouble – being chased, beaten, shot, caught, exposed.
So this “consensus” was formed.You may not think that this “consensus” was actually a little “bite out” by Chinese tourists.
On the whole, Chinese tourists are still a high incidence group of theft in Europe, but the proportion of mobile phones stolen is indeed declining. In 2023, Chinese mobile phones accounted for 35% of the stolen goods seized by the Milan police. In 2025, it dropped to 12%. This is no coincidence, it is a double victory of "technology + will".
Nowadays, thieves are not afraid of mobile phone alarm, but they are afraid of mobile phone owners alarm. After all, it's not a matter of who is afraid of whom, but a matter of respect. Respect comes from strength, but also from no longer being silent.
Chinese foreigners are no longer a “mobile withdrawal machine”, but a person who is prepared, has the means and has the spirit.So, don’t say “foreigners don’t bully Chinese people”.
