Quite right NM. There's a lot of stereotyping on this thread and it's mostly by people stereotyping those who've had contact with Romas by those who haven't. Get your wallet or your phone nicked by one of them and the tune will change, no doubt. It's okay for other countries to warn you about a group of people hell bent on ripping you off... but try it here and you're a racist.
