I’m indebted to one of my readers, Greg Broiles, who called the following to my attention: Apparently the new cell phones make a loud (very loud) alarm sound if 911 is dialed. There’s a story about this about Verizon phones … Continue reading
Pickpocket 9
Fer Pete’s Sake! You put your wallet in your pocket & then you pat the wallet to be sure it’s there. What a great signal that a) “Hey Guys! Guess where my wallet is today?” and b) “I’ve got something … Continue reading

Pickpockets 3
You should be aware: The most vulnerable places to keep your wallet are in your back pants pockets, your inner coat jacket pockets, your backpack and/or your fanny packs (especially if the fanny pack is behind you). At the same … Continue reading
Pickpocket 4
Some things you can do to make it harder to pick your pocket: 1. If you carry your wallet in a pocket, try putting a rubber band around your wallet; the band’s friction against the fabric of your clothes can … Continue reading
