Oh my, 
  Yeah, Praha has a reputation as the pickpockets academy... It was the best place in Europe to have a car stolen too once upon a time.. 
  I used to hand in the non-stops because I was/hung out with degenerates..  It was great! But it was also sort of wild to see what went on when the upright went to bed. 
  Thinking of stolen cars skoda means "what a shame" and the late 80's models had hoods that opened sideways... but they did keel on running... 

 AK> uncommon for SOMEONE to be around that understand at least SOME English.

I found this too and in Prague in particular you could speak no language and get by! In the countryside it was the someone rule. I was taken as a Praguer for the accent I developed in Czech though I couldn't hear it. 

 Once in Greece I hid from assault by angry communists by speaking Czech rather than English but that's another story. 

  Tonight is Pesach, Passover. A time to remember that we too were strangers in a strange land and that loving the other is a duty for we know the hardships first hand.
