Some thing       told him to look in his rearview mirror one last time as he was pulling out       forward, & he saw the handle. He didn't turn it in                My luck it would mob or drug money and they would come looking for me. :)              > I've never been pickpocketed, but I used to wear pants tight enough so I'd       feel my wallet even being nudged from the right-back pocket where I kept it (&       where I could easily whip around to my right to nab the perp.               The friend I was staying with in NYC told me to keep my wallet in a front       pocket, since pickpockets are active in large crowds.        When I was in the Navy we had no real pockets in our blues. One's wallet       was looped over the waist, so half was visible. That was generally done in       the front with the jumper covering it.                       > > But its such a bother having to replace bank cards,                Forgot to mention last time.        I keep little in my chequing account, so if my card were lifted they       wouldn't get much. The bulk of my bank money is in savings.        With online banking I just move the amount I need from savings to       chequing if I'm going to make some (to me) large purchase or doing a lot of       shopping.              > Good to have a stash or three because you just never know.. .               I used to have a fantasy of owning a pair of magic pants.        However much money I needed was in my pocket, no more, no less.        If I were buying something for a quarter, I had a quarter in my pocket.       If I were buy something that cost $2,892.31 (for example) I had exactly       $2.892.31 in my pocket.               > Hiding it in plain sight is considered the best way, like how New York       diamond jewelers walk around with $100K in diamonds in a grubby paper lunch bag               Yep.        Someone snatching a bag might wind up with a bag full of diamonds or a       stale baloney sandwich. :)        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/116 120/340 123/0       SEEN-BY: 123/25 40 115 126 131 160 180 190 200 755 129/305 330 135/300       SEEN-BY: 135/366 371 379 382 383 384 385 388 390 391 392 138/146 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 222/2 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 307 317       SEEN-BY: 229/400 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/1120 5832 250/1 261/1466       SEEN-BY: 266/512 275/100 1000 282/1038 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/1 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/11 200 396/45 460/58 633/280 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 712/848 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50 5020/1042       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 153/7715 229/426           |
