Be on the look out for noisy
children or teen-agers that ask you to sign forms or ask for money.
Usually, they’re the best pickpockets. Also be careful of street
performers, they might distract you, and steal your purse or wallet.
Anyone can do it
Don't be fooled by people
wearing business suits. Pickpockets and purse-snatchers dress very
respectably these days so you won’t suspect them.
Only for women
Women should always keep their
purses securely under their arms around lot of people. Also their purses
should always be visible (preferably on their laps) when dining out or
in theatres.
::Use your head ::
Use the locks
When driving, long or short
trips, make sure to lock your doors. Never leave your purse or luggage
on the passenger seat or behind you.
Keep your coolness
Always stay calm if you’re
robbed. Report to the police and fill out a loss form. This will help
with insurance and temporary replacement of identification.
