Default Harry didn't listen to Madrid advice

The pickpockets/muggers are still around!

Redknapp, 63, was in Madrid to see the Spanish capital's two main teams, Real and Atletico, play in the Copa del Rey.

He said two men fell to their knees in front of him and tugged at his trouser legs to distract him while four others took money and items from his pockets.

Redknapp said he did not report the incident to police.

He said he was at the match with his assistant manager Kevin Bond and had to borrow money from him to pay for a taxi back to his hotel and for dinner before returning to London.
A timely reminder to those visiting the big cities (especially when going to places where a lot of people gather, like this football game) to be aware that the criminals follow the crowds for easy pickings. Don't keep money/cards in trouser pockets (or handbags) when you're likely to be in a busy spot.
