Why is this behavior tolerated across all of Europe? Seems like they run the same scams in each country. Why don't the police run stings and arrest them? Or is it because the police are also on vacation when the tourists come in summer?

Well in Belgium it's because they arrest them. The cops put down their information at the station, and they are out 3 hours later. MAYBE later they are summoned for trial, months later. But good luck by then.
