Avoiding Pickpockets
6 TIPS ON AVOIDING DIPS OR HOOKS
- Don’t flash bills or carry loose money in pocket.
- Carry wallet in your inside coat pocket (men) or at bottom of purse (women).
- Be suspicious of anyone who jostles you unnecessarily.
- If you realize your pocket has just been picked, scream. Hook will usually drop wallet and run.
- Remember, the pickpocket depends on your inattention for his success. Be wary of crowds.
- Keep large quantities of cash in bank; don’t keep it on your person. Remember, the dip or hook will try to distract you while robbing you, covering up his own actions by reading a paper or book. Fairs, crowds, buses, trams and subways are their stamping ground.
