I was inspired to write this instructable when I was pick pocketed at the New York State fair I lost $20 in cash, a debit card, and worst of all my library card. This instructable will show creative ways to prevent losing your hard earned cash

Step 1: Know the Enemy Tactics

To stop a pickpocket u need to think like 1. Remember these guys are very tricky and very clever and will outsmart you if you get too cocky
Do not use your hand to feel for your wallet or phone the thieves will spot it quickly and know where your phone is. They also work in teams. If somone bumps into u they try to feel where your wallet or phone are, sometimes if you carry a backpack one will distract u and another will come from behind

Step 2: Dummy Items

Why not take an old cheap wallet and put some old credit cards and some fake cash?
So when they try and feel for your wallet they feel the decoy also try doing this with an old broken phone, then put your real valuables in a cargo pocket or a secret pocket
