Only Take What You Need
It seems we all carry alot of our personal possessions around with us these days. Cash , checkbooks, credit cards, personal organizers and mobile phones are just some of the everyday items that are sorely missed if they are lost or stolen. All of these things might seem invaluable, but according to the police the best advice for hanging on to your possessions is “only take what you need with you”.
Try to appear relaxed, but at the same time be aware of your surroundings. Pickpockets like busy streets and crowded places, and someone bumping into you could well be a thief. If this happens, check if you still have your things with you, but don’t make it too obvious that you’re doing this a thief might be watching and you are letting them know where all of your things are.
Also very important is to always carry your self defense device. Pepper spray, stun guns and personal alarms are all easy to use and safe.
