One of your best defenses is to avoid standing out in a crowd. If you wear expensive -- or expensive-looking -- jewelry you may be drawing the wrong person's attention.
- Carry travel money cards, one credit card and only a small amount of cash.
- Avoid carrying a purse. If you must, use a clutch-type or one with a strap, and hold the purse in front of you.
- When you get travel money cards or cash, count it and put everything away before you go outside. For automatic teller machine banking, go during the day and not by yourself.
- Above all, if someone wants your purse, wallet, keys or vehicle, don't resist.
