    Other Ways You Can Protect Yourself

    Protect Your Car:

    ● Try not to park on dark or deserted streets.

    ● Take your keys out of the ignition and make sure the doors are locked when you leave your car.

    ● Lock any packages in the trunk or take them with you.

    Protect Yourself from Pickpockets:

    ● Do not display large sums of money in public.

    ● Men​—in large crowds it is best for you not to keep your wallet in a hip pocket, even if it is buttoned. If you are jostled while in a crowd, make sure your wallet is yet in place.

    ● Women​—do not lay your handbag on a counter or floor or in a shopping cart while making purchases. Do not leave your purse on a seat in a public place of assembly. When carrying a load of packages, keep your purse next to your body.

    ● Beware particularly of strangers who try to put their hands on you. Some may claim that they want to assist you in some way; others may describe their own ailments by touching your body. Such persons may be pickpockets cleverly trying to remove your money.
