Watch out for those pickpockets!
Pickpockets and Purse-Snatchers Review
Although I think many go a little overboard with frightening tourists about pursesnatchers and pickpockets, the trouble is still there. And, the situation has happened enough to fellow travellers and friends for one to be foolish to believe that this kind of thing doesn't happen. However, if you use street smarts and hold on to your purse while walking and shopping, you should not have any problems.
While in large crowds, or shopping, never let your purse hang loosely from your side, even if your purse is wrapped around your neck and arm (ladies). A thief is still able to take things from open bags, or to cut off your pursestring.
