MuggedYour Ginger Fuhrer was telling me the other night about going out in Birmingham after finishing a shift working in a bar. Very drunk, still dressed in his bar uniform, our fearless leader was mugged.
They stole his green stick-on bow tie.

BarcelonaAllow me to inject a bit of useful advice too. If you're in Barcelona, on the metro, and you're not getting the personal space you need (typically 3/4 young kids and the train isn't full), the people around you are trying to mug you. If you're there for any length of time it'll happen.
I was there for just three days in May and both me and my travelling companion nearly got caught on separate occasions, only getting away with it as we both had zipped pockets and they had only gotten half way before we noticed.
This isn't a 'funny' post, I just know it'll get read by a lot of people and it's the best bit of advice I can give because it's not a one-in-a-million-won't-happen-to-me thing. You go to Barcelona, it'll happen, unless you have your wits about you...
You should still go there though. It's beautiful.
