Hold money where you can see it. Avoid using your back pockets.
Keep your wallet, change purse, and any other holders front and center, where you are more likely to spot thieving hands. If the only other option is the side pockets to your pants, use those. Otherwise, favor:
- The inside pockets of your jacket or coat, preferably with your jacket/coat zipped or buttoned up for double protection.
- Pockets that can be closed with zippers, straps, buttons, ties, or, even better, a combination of them for extra security.
- “Smart” pockets sewn into the front of specially designed underwear, shirts, or other clothing worn close to the skin.
- Wallet chains for any money holders that you keep in easily accessible pockets.
