HOW TO PREVENT BEING PICK-POCKETED
#1
Whenever you are going out to a public place, only take what you need.
Leave behind your valuables at home and only bring out some cash which you need and also your identification card. That way, even if you got pick pocketed, you do not lose everything.
#2
Touching or fiddling with the pocket where you carry your belongings tells the pickpocket where you carry your valuables.
This is a regrettable error and drops a huge hint of where you keep your things not only to the pickpocket but also to the public. Therefore, we must always be careful with our belongings and also keep track of touching or feeling your pocket to make sure that they are still safe.
#3
Blending in
We must do what we can to avoid looking like a tourist because mostly target victims would be tourist. Dyeing your hair or wearing a cap to appear subtle will help. Wearing a sunglasses will help as well. Don't wear brightly colored shirts or anything that makes you stand out of the crowd.
#4
Wear backpacks on your front if you must wear one in a crowd.
It is best not to have anything important in your backpack just in case. Wearing them in the front would be best as you can see if anyone tries to reach out for your bag.
