If I ever DID go to New York

The one biggest thing I would do, is if I'm wearing a coat with an inside pocket, I would make absolutely sure that my wallet is inside that pocket. Then what I would do is put a wallet in my back pocket with nothing in it. And see if it goes missing.

I've always heard that in New York the place is filled with pick pocketers. I've always heard you should keep your wallet in your front pocket, even still, a coat with an inside pocket is the best option over a front pocket in a pair of pants.

But yeah, that's the number one thing I would do, before I even step foot in New York. I've never been there and have no plans to go anytime soon. Just wanted to get that off my chest.

Thanks.

I've heard a lot more about London than New York lately. But that's true in a lot of big cities or poor countries.

I saw something about traveling to Brazil, and basically they suggested to get a cheap phone, don't bring your main phone, and a dummy wallet to give out, because it's not if you get to but when.

You really don’t want to go there now. Migrants are taking over.

Hey, watch your step... I'm 1/1024 Native American, just like Elizabeth Warren, high cheekbones and all. 🤭

Her high cheekbones are the result from repetitive actions necessary for [b]ANY AND ALL [/b]of her accomplishments 🤭

Some parts of ghe city are like that prolly more than half but inside pockets just a good idea everywhere. The world has changed. !

Best thing to do is go in blackface. See they don't like white people and that'll fool them! 👍🏿

Worked there 20+ years, no pockets picked.

Even before that, walking around The Bowery in the 90s before it became all yuppified and was a shady area, no problem.

But you do you.

@twiigss just like animals use camouflage, many wealthy New Yorkers dress down to not advertise wealth .

@twiigss I was there in the 80s, 90s, too, then I worked on the West Side for a long time.

@uncalled4 cool. There's a live stream on YouTube of Father Duffy square and I watch that a lot.

I've been many times and I've never had an issue nor seen it happen.
