Men.
Here is a wonderfulf deterrent. Always carry wallet in front pocket.
Where slightly tighter pants than usual. You want to feel your wallet.
Make sure your pockets are mid forearm deep. Toss the wrist deep.


Finally.
Wrap layers of rubberbands around your wallet.
This creates unbelievable friction.
Yes. You will be inconvenienced.
Just trying to spare some pain.
Best Wishes.

I keep my wallet in my front pocket all the time, always have. When I am in crowds, I keep my hand in the front pocket on top of the wallet. Never, ever had a problem.

When they are pick pocketing you and stealing your Rolex, just keep muttering to yourself, "diversity is our strength".

The more problems these illegals cause, the more votes against Demented Joe.

Go to better beaches. I’ve never feared for my property at the NJ beaches. No savs there.

Pretty soon all of the illicit reasons Americans would fly to Colombia wouldn't be necessary. These enterprising migrants will setup shop here and snake their way around the law to give us all of those illicit services.

Pickpocket was a top skill in Colombia where a woman standing on the corner would get your attention and then 2 guys will approach you from behind and say nice things about the girl while another one picks your pocket.

Last summer was a pretty good eye opener to what services became quickly available when NYPD was still hamstrung and understaffed.

Recently Mayor Adams indicated he will do more but the city council wants to pass more red tape to cause police stoppage.

Criminals voting for criminal friendly politicians in the city council which will make NYC the #1 illicit behavior capital of the US within a few months as these migrants funnel over drugs, women, children, all kinds of stuff.

Many of them will feel right at home living in miserable conditions. It would be like they never left home. Well except for the generous social benefits that they will get from Uncle Sugar.

Can you explain to me how that is racist? Thinking that a minority is incapable of obtaining an ID is racist. Like do you think they are too stupid to get one?

The reason for withholding identity because POC are afraid that having their IDs used will automatically trigger some kind of incarceration due to outstanding warrants for violations such as failure to appear in court for child support.

That's why the Dems usually don't want POC to need their IDs to vote in fear they would get arrested on the spot for violation of probation or warrants.

Thinking a minority can not get an ID is incredibly racist. Not sure why my comment was so misread. Dems are against voter ID. Thier argument boils down to their constituents are to stupid to get one.

Ladies, make sure your handbag is not dangling over your shoulder above your backside. Hold it in front of you, closed and zipped with your hand on the strap above the zipper, which should be closed in front of you.
