Additionally, be aware that pickpockets are not usually what you would picture. Most of them are strategically well-dressed, in an attempt to blend into the environment and look non-threatening.
This helps them get as close as possible to their targets, without looking suspicious, and strike when you least expect it. Most of them will look like regular people at a first glance: they wear brand clothes that people associate with middle-class people to throw you off.
In conclusion, you should always be aware of your surroundings, be careful what you carry with you, and think ahead of the thieves, as thefts have significantly increased over the past few years and their methods have become more and more advanced.
