Read this from some website before I went backpacking a few years back - put your wallet/purse/monies/valuables into the front left pockets of your pants, cause most pickpockets, like the demographics, are right-handed!! And for a female travelling alone, just carry a whistle with you because in case of any emergency, it's much easier to blow on the whistle than to shout!! Thanks for sharing!! Happy travelling!! Cheers...

Thanks for great tips. I once had my purse stolen on the London underground. These days I keep it clipped to my handbag on a lead. Any thief that grabbed it would find the purse was still attached to me. Because I am such a forgetful person it also helps me to keep track of my purse. Best Nadine.
