Keep your wallet, purse or valuables out of sight
- Use an inside pocket where possible or consider using a body belt or "bum" bag.
- Always keep some money separate from your handbag this way if your bag does get stolen, you can get still get home.
- Don’t use mobile phones outside in the street, keep them hidden
- Mp3 players, iPods etc are all attractive to robbers, if they can be clearly seen you become an easy target.
- Don’t plug yourself into to headphones, if you can’t hear what’s going on around you then you are vulnerable to attack.
