Be attentive, especially at the train station!

A friend of mine was waiting for the train going to Zurich, he put his small suitcase on the ground (he was standing at the platform) as he picked up his phone and tried to call somebody.He was very much engaged in the conversation with his friend when he then realized, the suitcase is gone. He claimed that there was a guy standing behind him, he seemed to be waiting for the train as well, so my friend didn't pay any attention at all. He tried to report to the people he saw doing rounds and to the police. The suitcase contains his passport/visa, some documents, and an envelope of newly changed cash. Since then, it wasn't recovered. I told this to my mom and she said that the those incidents are not really unusual at the train station. She witnessed a same incident before, same idea, prolly same man.
