Make note of your passport number and other important documents. If they become lost, this will facilitate getting replacements with fewer problems

Never carry your wallet in your rear pants pocket, front pants or jacket pocket is advisable.

Pickpockets usually work in teams of two or three people. Always be aware of possible distractions staged by a pickpocket team. Pickpockets may drop something in front of you, or cause a loud commotion near you, as a distraction. Once distracted, the other pickpocket steals your valuables and walks away

Learn about and be aware of your surroundings. Ask the hotel/motel desk clerk, concierge or bell staff about problem area to avoid.
Before departing from your hotel or other destination, plan your routes and clearly understand where you’re going.

For solo travelers, follow common sense, avoid being alone in dark, deserted areas and poorly lit streets.
