4 Tips To Protect Yourself From Pickpockets In Public

Public places are full of pickpockets. Here are some tips to protect yourself from pickpockets.

Avoid Showing Off Your Things In Public

Avoid using your phone or camera while walking, especially in unfamiliar areas. Leave non-essential items like jewellery and excess cash behind to minimise potential losses.

 Stash Your Cash In Multiple Places

Keep the cash you need for the day in your wallet, and stash the rest in a safe place like a money belt.

 Avoid Keeping Your Thing In The Back Pockets

Refrain from keeping your belongings in the back pocket of your jeans as it makes you one of the easiest targets.

Always Look Back

Make it a habit to double-check before leaving a restaurant, getting off a bus, or standing up from a park bench.
