Don't wear a Rolex, don't show off your wealth, keep most of your day money
in your left pocket and rip-off money/wallet in right pocket. If and when
accosted, give them your right hand pocket stuff by dropping it and running
like hell. Tell your bank not to allow more than $200 a day in ATM
withdrawals and not disclose available balance. Keep a low profile. Dicker
instead of paying full price. Be curious and be willing to listen, even to
the street beggar but don't ask about drugs!
