30 people, 12 of them got pickpocketed.
Line up the 'lucky' 18 other people. 1 of them is your pickpocketer.

Don't forget to spin a Granny outside the stadium. The Romanians will love it if you try, trust me.

Take care of people pretending to be police checking your currency...they'll flash a warrant card at you, ask to see your currency, they will flick through it and give it back to you...when you check it some will be missing :-( I speak from experience.

I had 8 days over in Romania last summer and 4 days this year, including Bucharest, and had no problems. The key thing was that I was aware of the very things "oneiron" has pointed out so heed them well! I was offered two hooky phones in 30 mins which had clearly been lifted from someone so there is very active crime about!
Other words of advice...
Most taxi drivers are absolute scamsters with numerous tricks - meter not working - apparently agreed fares suddenly going up before you reach your destination etc. Do NOT get in a taxi if someone is hassling you for your business, use one of the recognised ones Meridian or Pelican I think in Bucharest. Preferably, get the hotel to book one.
And for those of you that dabble in a bit of fun with the ladies of the night, beware that their priority may be to lift your wallet rather than providing a "service". I've known that happen to two mates of mine and seen a bloke come into a bar and start beating up a girl after she lifted his cash. It is NOT something I dabble in before you ask!!!

I will pay good money to see the result of a Romany trying to pick big William's pocket.
I predict it would make international news.
