Just got done watching a documentary on pick pocketing in Barcelona and just need to warn fellow travelers they are out in force. It's well known that when you're in a different land you tend to relax and that's when they pounce. They use every technique in the book my favorite being the 'reptile' where the thieves hide under deck chairs at night and wait for couples to go and have sex before sneaking out and taking all valuables. Here in London I have never been got but there is a lot of potential for it here because it's very busy. When I'm abroad or carrying my passport I put it in my shoe. What are your methods? I think we could all benefit from some anti pick pocket techniques.
You actually walk around with your passport in your shoe? poor border guards having to check that!
