Theoretically, but they can snatch YOU along with it:

I don't use one. I don't need to be tethered to my cell phone or other little items.

Someone once told me if a man is wearing a fanny pack around the waist he's either gay or carrying a gun. LOL

If it is secured/buckled, how would they snatch it without taking you with it?

I certainly am not "tethered to my phone" (those who are will have it in their hands at all times, making them easier to snatch), but when wandering around the city, I do need my flip phone for emergencies, car keys, and a credit card and/or cash. Pockets will do if I have them, but I don't always.

In fact, I was recently looking for a fanny pack at Goodwill for an upcoming trip and couldn't find any. Now I know...they've been converted to boob bags!

Which the British understood.

Spoiler
I'm not going to say it. But ask someone from England what "fanny" means.
Haha. When I was a kid, saying, “Fanny” was a polite way to say your bottom. I did not learn it was considered dirty in GB until recently.

I only carry one in Vegas and that's how I carry it if it's not around my waist
