- Keep valuables like mobile phones, cash and jewellery
out of sight.
- Keep your bag closed and close to you.
- Keep keys separate from anything with your address on it. If you are travelling thieves may assume your house is empty.
- Check your bus route and destination before you set off.
- Pickpockets love crowds so keep bags to the front, closed with the fastening towards the body, be particularly careful with rucksacks.
- Register valuable mobile equipment like mobile phones, mp3 players, ipods and laptops on the national database www.immobilise.com If they are stolen or lost then later recovered, registering on the database will help the police to reunite you with your property.
- Switch your mobile phone from ring to vibrate in public places and be discreet when using it.
