do not carry lots of money around

if you do

pockets in you underwear for the large bills, or carry inside you shoes. (ripping big shoes off takes time)

use old worn clothes with no watches, jevellery ect that could give out that you might have something to steal = look poorer than average, dont shave ect. looking litte rougher tens to putt of thieves, they look for better targets
...trust me I se all the time older people loaded with gold and watches, or turist with big cameras and buging wallet on their back pocket americans are good with this...

Corruption ect.

as ID carry copies only!!!! the police can check what ever they need with this information keep the orginals in safe place and scan all the orginal documents into you email...if the worst happens, never ever give orginal documents to the officials if not absolutely needed....

only carry cash that you use daily, othervise Forex has a card that you can load money anywhere in the wold, and work in most of the places, again you can have multiple cards...so losing one is no catastrophy...never withraw money from the ATM: when its dark...and choose atm that has cameras around if possible, withdraw the money at the morning hours if possible.

self defense:

RUN and get away if you can

if you are pinned into situation, carry small and pointy knife strabbed under the shirt sleeve, nobody see that comming and once you pull the knife odds are much more difficult for the robber, have had one to give up immediatelly...if the attaker makes an move, let that sucker have it...dangers of his occupation...
