Guidance

How you sit in public can impact whether you become a target for opportunistic thieves.

Sit in locations where you can clearly see people around or approaching you.

Place any bags in front of you, on your lap, or where you have line of sight.

Thieves can position themselves beside you and steal items hung over a chair or placed on the ground, using their feet or an item to slide a bag towards them.
