Shopping Safely During Your Asian Holiday
Summary
Every holiday season, there's a rise in thefts, particularly purse snatchings and pickpocketing. Thieves target people in busy shopping areas, making off with money, credit cards, and IDs. They often work in teams and are skilled at hiding their intentions. Here are tips to help you avoid becoming a victim:Safety Tips for Shoppers
1. Plan Ahead
Before heading out, decide where to carry your money and important items. Avoid bringing expensive jewelry and watches. Spread your cash across different locations rather than keeping it all in one spot.2. Keep Valuables Hidden
Use a waist belt or pouch under your clothing for valuables. Always avoid showing your money in public.3. Limit Access
Avoid large sums of money in easily accessible places like jacket pockets or purses. Skip the wallet; instead, use front pants pockets or inside shirt pockets. If you carry a purse, wear it across your body under a coat.4. Be Discreet About Spending
Never announce plans to spend large amounts of money.5. Shop with Others
Shopping with companions and staying aware of your surroundings help deter thieves.6. Stay Alert
Keep an eye on those around you, watching for "accidental" nudges or touches.7. Minimize Unnecessary Items
Carry only what's essential. In Asia, many transactions are cash-based, so leave unneeded credit cards and your passport in a secure location. Carry a photocopy of your passport's ID page. Replaceable items like ID cards are preferable to personal items like family photos.Conclusion
These precautions can make you a tougher target. Criminals look for easy marks, so by being cautious, you enhance your safety and that of your family. It's more comforting to be prepared for an emergency than to be caught off guard.
