I had 4 hours brake in Brno waiting for connection bus. As fot that time, as I fell a sleap for 15 min on the benches (outside), someone stole my bags. I ended up in Police, made a statement, and 1.000 euro worth of personal belonging (its double than that, but Police counts 50%) is now gone. So, not good suggestion and someone should advise tourist about this, because Police informed me that it happens everyday same time there. I am not a local, so dont know that, and at first glance nice and peacefull Brno turned out to be nightmare for me. Regards
