TOURIST - Tips on Avoiding Theft

Thieves thrive on confusion, crowds, and tourist traps. Here's some advice given to me by a thief who won the lotto.

Keep a low profile: Never leave your camera lying around where hotel workers and others can see it and be tempted. Keep it either around your neck or zipped safely out of sight. Luxurious luggage lures thieves. The thief chooses the most impressive suitcase in the pile — never mine. Things are much safer in your room than with you in a day bag on the streets.

On trains and at the station: On the train, be alert at stops, when thieves can dash on and off — with your bag. When sleeping on a train (or at an airport, or anywhere in public), clip or fasten your pack or suitcase to the seat, luggage rack, or yourself. Even the slight inconvenience of undoing a clip foils most thieves. Women shouldn't sleep in an empty train compartment. You're safer sharing a compartment with a family. Be on guard in train stations, especially upon arrival, when you may be overburdened by luggage and overwhelmed by a new location.

Public transit and flea markets: Crowding through big-city subway turnstiles is a popular way to rip off the unsuspecting tourist. Imaginative artful-dodger thief teams create a fight or commotion to distract their victims. Crowded flea markets and city buses that cover the tourist sights (like Rome's notorious #64) are also happy hunting grounds.

Your rental car: Thieves target tourists' cars — especially at night. Don't leave anything even hinting of value in view in your parked car. Put anything worth stealing in the trunk (or, better yet, in your hotel room). Leave your glove compartment open so the thief can look in without breaking in. Choose your parking place carefully. Your hotel receptionist knows what's safe and what precautions are necessary.
