If you usually store your wallet in your back pocket, keep it from being lifted while you can't see it by moving it in your front pocket. It's a lot harder for a pickpocket to steal your wallet, passport, or money if it isn't easily accessible to someone walking behind you. Belongings can rise up out of back pockets when you walk for a period of time. This makes items in your back pocket much easier to steal. Take a standard rubber band and stretch it out over the center of your wallet. Stick it deep in your pocket. If a thief tries to subtly snag your wallet, they'll struggle to pull it out of your pocket. This will give you adequate notice that someone is trying to rob you. If you have a choice, use a Velcro or fabric wallet instead of smooth leather. These are much harder to remove without you noticing. If you have an item of clothing with a concealed pocket, store your wallet there. Pickpockets tend to look in obvious places for valuables and money, and they won't know where to look if your wallet is inside your jacket, in an invisible seam, or hidden near your breast pocket. If you have to stash something in your jacket, put it in a Velcro pouch. The Velcro will make a bunch of noise if someone tries to reach inside of the pocket. If possible, keep a separate money clip to hold your money or store it in a secure pocket. This way you won't need to bring your wallet out to search through it for the bills that you need. If you are keeping your money in a wallet, only pull it out when you absolutely need to pay for something. Hold your wallet with both hands to avoid giving an opportunistic thief a chance to snatch it while you're distracted. If you are storing your money in a pocket, pick a front pocket on your pants or jacket. Do not store anything else in the pocket so that thieves think your pocket is empty. Buy a wallet and transfer your cards and money to the new one. Stuff your worn-out wallet with scraps of paper, empty gift cards, and random receipts. When traveling, keep your decoy wallet on you. If you are robbed or someone attempts to steal from you, pull your decoy wallet out, drop it, and run in the other direction. Don't stick your decoy wallet out of your pocket so that it is highly visible. You don't want to encourage people to rob you!
