You can't count on the record keeping that results on these reports. Most
of the pickpocketing is done by mobile bands of crooks who go where the
tourists are. That can be anywhere.

It is sometimes done that police don't record crimes to keep their city
"clean." My friend was badly hurt in Barcelona but was not xrayed at the
hospital and had a piece of tape to hold together the head wound she got.
Why? Because if they gave her an xray or sewed her up they had to report it
as a crime. When she came back here she was found to have a concussion and
a hairline fracture of the skull. She could have died.

There is now a website dedicated to reporting crimes against travelers in
Barcelona, because it's pretty bad and the cops are covering up. So which
of the biggest cities has the most petty crime? Who knows-
