How to protect yourself from pickpockets!
The police give valuable tips for preventing pickpockets: Pay attention to the perpetrator's gaze! These often hide their eye contact while squinting for possible prey. This is your warning signal! Always keep your money and valuables on your body in secured inner pockets. Never just put it in your shopping bag!
Use safe bag methods – a handbag should always be carried on the front of the body or tucked discreetly under the arm. Wearing a neck pouch or money belt can also help deter thieves. Be particularly vigilant in restaurants and shops: never hang your bag unattended on the back of a chair or leave it standing. Safety comes first – protect yourself!
