I don't know if you do this, but pickpockets are common in New Orleans, where I'm from, so I've had to learn to deal with them as well.  I keep one credit card at home always, and my wallet never has any cash in it.  Cash stays in my right front pocket, and if I'm walking through a crowd my hand stays on it.  So, at most I lose one card (which I'm not responsible for fraudulent charges on) and documents.

Wallets... :-( Thanks Sam, I am looking forward to a hot choc curled up watching some movies with the girls later! Can't believe how cold it has turned this evening! I'm actually wearing a cardigan! Hope you are well x

Oh what bad luck! Sorry to hear about your wallet, but hey look on the plus side, nothing can cheer you up better than a good old hot chocolate!
