I hope you have a safe holiday and these simple tips may help you avoid being the victim of a pick pocket or thief when travelling abroad. There are certain destinations that do attract petty thieves so you need to be on your guard.
Keep your wallet or purse in a front pocket rather than a back pocket.
Be careful at cash machines as thieves will often try to distract you with various tactics including dropping money behind you. If anyone taps you on the shoulder at a cash machine you should keep an eye on your card and your money at all times.
