  • GYPSIES!! Watch your wallets, pockets, purses and everything not permanently attached to you.
    I was acosted by a group of little hooligans. Luckily I beat them off. They will put a newspaper up to your face, as if to show you something, and then go for your pockets.

    also, use a safety pin to attach your fanny/butt pack zipper to the material so it can't be unzipped easily.
