Pickpockets are a reality when you travel to some locations, especially during the holidays. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Here's an easy one: After placing your belongings in your front pocket, place a fold of tissue just inside the same pocket so that it's most accessible. Everyone wins. You get to keep your money and the pickpocket can wipe his tears over the one who got away. I learned this trick in Bolivia and use it every day abroad.
