Travel question: Guard against theft and touts in crowds

Do not replace practical precautions with a general safety claim; prepare for unattended-property theft, card loss, unclear prices and alcohol-related disputes.

Why is this rule in place?

Travelers may detect problems late because of unfamiliar places and language.

What should travelers do?

Split valuables, confirm prices first, and contact 110, card issuer and insurer after loss. Report passport loss to your representative office too.
