[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carry the bare minimum.  If I am standing still/waiting at crosswalk/in line at least one of my hands is in my pocket. Always the front right pocket with wallet in it.  I alway have something above the wallet in my pocket. [b]Typically a dummy set of keys[/b].  If they are going to get the wallet they are going to have to dig.

If I have Airpod , it is just one.

I am a bigger guy 6'4" and have noticeable muscle definition, when the bracelet and phony petition people approach and I say no or ignore they typically don't continue to engage.

I also make sure my wife and kid are in front of me 90% of the time. They also know that if i say move sternly but under my breath it means move, don't look around, don't ask just move at a quicker pace until I tell you it is clear.  If I fall back it is intentional to distract and they are to keep moving.  If I save move 1 go to the hotel, if I ssay move 2 it means go to police station, if I say move 3 it means go to embassy.[/quote]
