phone in front right, keys and knife in front left, wallet in back right. also get a girlfriend that carries a purse, that way you can give her your wallet whenever you are sitting down in a restaurant or something and don’t want to sit on your wallet.

Yeah I’m not exactly carrying around a machete or something. Don’t know what you guys pictured when I wrote “knife” but it ain’t a Bowie. To be honest a Swiss Army knife is probably enough for 95% of the people that want to cut things and tighten the odd screw (or open bottles of beer/wine)

on the one hand it might seem like a sheltered thing to be concerned about but loads of cities have problems with petty theft. it also speaks to your station in life and where you are geographically to not care. where I am now it’s not a real concern but I’ve had my wallet stolen from me when it was in my back pocket years ago and so I just don’t put it there (also it will gently caress your back to sit on)

Well seriously, if they grab your wallet and run, you just shoot them. What's a Brit going to do? Affix a pocketknife to the nearest long stick and wish they were any good at hurling a javelin?

apparently people's best guess is that pickpocketing lore has basically died out in the us and nobody knows how to do it properly anymore. it's hard to be a surreptitious pickpocket, and it used to get passed down generation to generation, oliver-twist-like, but that doesn't happen anymore. also wallets just aren't as valuable anymore because people carry less cash and credit cards have gotten harder to fence, so the grab-and-run thieves just specialize in cell phones

yeah like feel free to steal my wallet, I’m going to notice in less than an hour and I don’t have cash so enjoy your $20 wallet full of plastic

iPhone though? I’d be screwed (but they’d just end up with a worthless paperweight so lol either way)

nfc can be abused (but with limits on total amount spent and number of uses at least.) it still happens in dense crowds and subways and tourist spots. I’ve felt more attempts in Europe fwiw but was robbed in Canada

there is really only one reason

pickpocketing is a skilled profession that only works in places with pedestrian crowds. there are fewer of those today in america than ever before, so there are fewer apprentices to the old hands in crime

afaik the only places you can still be pickpocketed stateside are in nyc
