  Thus, be aware of the following don’ts:
  — Don't wear a wrist wallet (they are very easily snatched). Keep your handbag securely closed. Wear a money belt

  — Don't leave your bag or coat beside, under or on the back of your chair. Hook the handle of your bag around the leg of the chair on which you are sitting.
  — Don't put your bag on the floor near the door of a public toilet.
  — Don't wear expensive jewellery or watches that can be easily snatched.
  — Don't put your purse down on the table in a restaurant or on a shop counter while you scrutinize the bill.
  — Don't carry a wallet in the back pocket of your trousers.
