Yeah you always need to understand what is going on around you. I spent my mid to late teens in an area with an extreamly high pick pocket rate. I quikly learned to always protect your perimeter and understand who and what was near your valuables. I don't carry all that often, but when I do I am very watchful of anyone on that side of me. n

Whether you are carrying or not, you should have your wits about you at all times. Be aware of your surroundings and who is there, in order to not become a victim. Don't be staring at the ground when you're walking, it makes you look weak and timid, ergo an easy target.
