Rick Steves Says Pickpockets Are Targeting This No. 1 Item-After Mine Was Stolen, I Made This Change

"Be mindful that when you bring out your phone, you're waving dollar signs around. Somebody can snatch your phone and use the credit card on it."

"Make sure you've got a 'find my phone'-type app, back up your data, and enable password protection."

"The Bostanten Crossbody Bag is just roomy enough for your phone, cards, and cash-so you're not digging through a bulky tote in crowded airports."

"The Cacao Phone Lanyard keeps your device attached to you at all times, whether worn around your neck or as a crossbody."
