| Avoiding Trouble |
Do not wear or flash lots of jewelry and keep it covered when on the street.
Do not let anyone see you enter PIN. If anyone interrupts you, cancel what you were doing and get the card back.
Be aware of skimming devices that criminals may attach over the card scanning mechanism.
Do not leave your bike in isolated places.
Lock it, even if it is only for a minute.
Mark it with identifying marks. Most police stations will do it for you
Stay with your friends when possible and do not use dark short cuts.
Always make sure someone knows where you are!
Try to look relaxed, but at the same time be thoughtful about where you are. Pickpockets like busy streets and crowded places; someone bumping in to you may be a pickpocket.
If something is stolen or you are accosted, go to the nearest police station or call the police.
