LLSC: basic precautions: don't keep wallet in back pocket, if possible buy a slim wallet which you can shove deep down your front pant pocket (preferably jeans so not easy to slip out .. ) and also, if possible get 'inner pocket' stitched in pants to keep valuables there, so in a hold up, you only loose that left in the outer pocket, use cheap throw away phones ..

Need I say more ? basic precautions ..

I never been snatched, or near enough to get robbed, just that once a few teenagers started to surround me like a joke .. and I knew what was coming, and I quickly put my hand and said "DON"T COME NEAR ME . " and it was a scary few second before my 'body guard' quickly stepped in and chased them off

beware of kids, teenagers, grown up, ah, well, everybody you don't know ..

A friendly handshake can turn into a knife pointed at your wrist .. even if you are a kung-fu expert, don't bother risking it .. as, there are enough cheap 9 mm and .22 in the street .. plus, the latest trend of 'palm guns' - those guys that fit into the palm and fire 2 X .22 shots ..

So don't tempt fate .. be safe always ..
