Glad to hear that 🙂

I would hope the police are helpful, but I’ve never had to test them…never had my purse stolen.

Thanks for commenting and sharing your views, Mary. When it comes to money, I usually divide the money I have. So some bills are in my left pocket, some in the right, some in my bag, some in my pouch, some in Sarah’s purse. This way I am never out of money even if my wallet or bag is stolen. Although, I have never been a pickpocket victim, so far. In the US, how helpful are cops when you report stolen purse or wallet?

Thanks for commenting and sharing your view point, Vishal.

You’re probably right on that. For a European it would be hard to ‘be invisible’ but the dress factor still works. My trainer in Microsoft was from Maryland USA and she wore Indian clothing, so we never thought of her as an American, we thought of her as she was one of us. It just works psychologically.

People are scared of the stories that media create so I thought let me write something about travel safety. The world out there is not as bad as it is shown, but then you can’t take things for granted as well.
