It happened to me 3 times. Once in a supermarket, somebody fished out my wallet from my bag ( a model with zippers on top, that's why I always buy with flips nowadays). Second, in a tram in Holland, somebody pulled out the money I put in my coat pocket ( it was quite a big pocket on the sides, so now I buy coats with inside pockets). And the third was the worst, it happened in Paris. Some east european homeless seized my bag and ran, so I had to immediately cancel all trips and went home with an emergency passport and airline tickets. I still have traumas about the last one, and I still never want to visit Paris again.

It mostly happens in public area such like in the station, on the bus, in the airport, mall n market n so on. That's why my mom tells me to keep money in separated places, some in wallet, some in pocket, n the rest in bag or another place that u can keep it. Therefore, u still have some when pick-pocketer picked it. The safer tips is u bring few cash. if u need to buy something, just use ur credit/debit card.

i never got pick-pocketed. i think i am lucky. i am always alert when ever i travel by train or bus. there are lot's of thing in my wallet if i lost all of them then i will die hehe just kidding dear. but luckily i never got pick-pocketed. so, no loss of any sort of money from my pocket. hope it would never happen to me any way.

I had been done over once, and i will never ever forget it. In india there is a custom to bathe in holy rivers, and i had gone to a holy place to bathe, my son who was 7 yrs then, was in a hurry to swim in the river, he did not know that the water here was very deep, So as soon as he saw the river, he removed the clothes and jumped in and began to drown, I immediately saw this and removed my pant and jumped in to save him, and when i came back my pant with 25000 rupees, watch, creditcards etx, was gone, and i was left with very little money ( my wife had some) in an unknown place far away from my home
