You can make life more difficult for thieves by holding your wallet in an inside pocket instead of a back
pocket. but make sure that you still have it if someone bumps into you in a crowd. Most pickpockets are very
skillful. Never let your handbag out of your sight. On public transport, keep hold of it. You are also
advised to take traveler’s cheque rather than cash when you go abroad, and to use cash dispensers which are on
main streets, or are well lit at night. A quarter of all crimes are car thefts or thefts of things from cars, like
radios and cassettes players. If your car is stolen, you may not get it back. One in four are never found, and
even if it is, it may be badly damaged . Always lock all doors and windows, and think about fitting a car alarm
too. If you are buying a new radio/cassettes player, it is worthwhile choosing one that is security-coded or removable
by the driver. These precautions will help to put off thieves.
