Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!
I just found out that I'll be able to explore NYC alone for 5-6 hours early next month. What's the best way to keep possessions safe? Is a buttoned back pocket all thats necesary, or should I spring for one of those around the neck wallets? Also, if I carried a small day pack (backpack), would I look totally out of place/touristy?

I was afraid someone would think I'm deathly scared. I'm not- I'm just asking if I should take any precautions above and beyond the common sense stuff to avoid any unwanted trouble, thats all. I don't live in an area anywhere near as densely populated as NYC city streets. I'm just asking for any local advice on the subject because its impossible to argue I should be less concerned about my wallet in NYC than in Knoxville, TN. If I just have to follow common sense and its not preferable to put my wallet in my front pocket or something, then fine.

I hope I made myself clear and didn't insult your city by thinking it was a 5th world country riddled with crime and disease.

Thanks for the confirmation about the backpack!
