The 175% leap in pickpocketing is attributed to the now 44 reported downtown incidents, when just last year it was 16.
Do not carry your wallet in your purse. Conceal it in a buttoned or zippered pocket where it doesn’t show a bulge.If you are carrying a shoulder bag, place the strap diagonally across your body, as opposed to carrying it on one shoulder. This keeps the purse in front of you, instead of at your side or behind you, which sometimes happens with purses with long straps.
If you have to carry your wallet in an unbuttoned jacket, coat or pants pocket, be sure it holds only what you can afford to lose. Keep large sums of money, credit cards, IDs, in your front pocket or any buttoned or zippered pocket. Some people even place a rubber band around their wallet, because the rubber band creates friction and rubs against the fabric of your pocket if someone is attempting to remove it without your knowledge.
Never pat your pocket to see if your wallet is there; this lets a criminal know the exact location of your valuables. Larger-size “pocket secretaries” are particularly inviting to pickpockets, and relatively easy to steal.
