Pickpockets
Men are particularly vulnerable to pickpockets. They should avoid carrying a wallet in their rear trouser pocket. The inside jacket pocket or side trouser pocket is better, especially if the wallet is turned sideways. Wrapping a rubber band around a wallet makes it harder to lift. Watch out for crowds and sudden commotions, which are meant to distract you, or if someone drops something in front of you and bends down to pick it up, or if someone bumps into you.
