Only carry the cash you need and leave other valuable goods at home. Avoid carrying large purses whenever possible. Don't walk near the edge of the sidewalk near bushes, driveways, or alleyways. Don't risk being hurt. Beware of strangers who bump you or get too close.
Pickpockets often work in groups.
Vary your schedule. Don't be predictable. Use the bus schedule to minimize the time you stand around waiting for the bus. If someone is bothering you on a Green Bay City bus, tell the driver. If few people are on the bus, sit near the driver.
