Usually operating in small groups along the Seine River and in Opera district -- here on the Pont Neuf bridge--, romani teenagers simulate hearing impairment and muteness to ask to tourists for signing a petition, then try to extort money. Some take advantage of distraction to open bags and pick pockets, using paperboard and accomplices to hide their steal. Paris, France, 2014.
