Several people warned me about the pickpocketing that took place in Barcelona so I carried around my money and my ATM in a pocket wallet, under my shirt. The second I pulled it out to pay for my water, I was knocked on my ass by a guy who swiped it from my hands and ran off.
A long and melodramatic scenario took place after this but I've slept only 5 hours in the past 2 days and the point is after desperate measures and help from friends and family, I'm home safe in Roma. I'm planning another trip out there late next month.I'll post a few of the photographs I took with my camera tomorrow.

Oh no, Gina! That's terrible.
Come back home and we'll take care of you.
PS I caught the stomach flu from little E... eww
bastards! Ugh. That sucks, sorry that it marred your time there...Barcelona is so much fun.
Glad you're home safe.
That stinks. If there's anything I can't stand it's a thief.
What a horrid thing to happen Gina. x
Ugh that SUCKS. Sorry to hear that.
My dad was warning me about that in Europe in general, I take it you haven't experienced that kind of thing in Italy?
crap! Lesson: keep multiple hidden pockets of money so if they snatch one, you still have more left. I've been weary of those Spaniards ever since the conquest.... although I wasn't around then, but theft was prevalent at that time too
