Warning for people traveling by train in Switzerland!

Our take

🚨 **Attention Travelers!** 🚨 Last Thursday, while traveling on the Vevey–Geneva train, my family and I experienced a theft using a distraction technique. Three young individuals threw a coin near my parents to divert our attention while one of them snatched our backpack from the overhead rack. They escaped in Nyon before we could react, and unfortunately, we received little support from the train staff. Please stay vigilant during your travels in Switzerland—keep your belongings close and don’t let your guard down! 🚆✨

Last Thursday, on the Vevey–Geneva train, my parents, my 7‑year‑old kids, and I were targeted by three young people using a distraction technique to steal our backpack.

They threw a coin near my parents to distract us while one of them grabbed a bag from the overhead rack. They ran off in Nyon before we could react, and there was no real support or protocol from the staff.

Please stay alert — even here, these things happen. Keep your bags close and don’t let your guard down.
