Always watch your back!
In order to avoid being pickpocketed, there is a list of things you can do to stay safe:
Firstly, you should be careful of scams and think ahead. Many thieves will often not be alone in this mission. A common thing they do is try to distract you by asking for directions, while their accomplice substracts your wallet or other valuable things without you noticing. You might think you aren’t that foolish to fall into their trap, but they have developed such methods that will make it hard for you to notice.
Another thing you can do is avoid crowded places, especially tourist ones. This is where thieves strike the most since they can easily make themselves vanish into the crowd. Usually, they will act like they accidentally bumped into you so that you don’t feel your pocket go lighter.
