Don't get Pickpocketed!

Traveling to some destinations can be extremely crowded and puts you at risk of being pickpocketed. Learning this the hard way, as we were pickpocketed in a crowded area in Madrid.

Before you travel, purchase handbags and wallets that are theft protected. Some people use money belts. Women need to change their handbag to a theft protected bag with locks on the zippers, straps that cannot be cut and the material of the bag cannot be cut open, especially from the bottom. My favorites are from Travelon. I have two different cross-body handbags and one backpack. You will feel secure with your belongings carrying these bags.
