The under the clothes thing is the only safe bet. But I agree that NYC is generally very safe so there is a slim chance of getting pick pocketed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142848 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:53:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 142848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i just got a crossbody so i can never be pickpocketed again. this one is inexpensive and a nice size! small but not too small!</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/fossil-carson-flap-crossbody-saddle" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/fossil-carson-flap-crossbody-saddle</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142839 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:49:17 +0000 heffalump 142839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I have one of those from my traveling days when I was younger. But the remote is so bulky, it'll be pretty funny looking. Hopefully my bag will be safe enough... and if I feel like it's a sketchy neighborhood I'll make DH take LO so I can concentrate on the bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142837 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:46:43 +0000 Mrs. Bee 142837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've never felt unsafe in new york even though I got pickpocketed! i'm sure i was an easy target because i had a baby in a stroller.</p> <p>a crossbody bag that zips is good, or you can get one of these travel fanny wallets that you wear under your clothes:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&#038;field-keywords=travel+fanny" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&#038;field-keywords=travel+fanny</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142833 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:45:27 +0000 heffalump 142833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: It's pretty bulky though, think old school cell phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142830 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:44:41 +0000 heffalump 142830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: My dad does that. But he wears it outside of his shirt, so it's pretty much saying, "steal this please, it has all my important things in it." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142827 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:42:15 +0000 Andrea 142827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you should wear a fanny pack underneath your clothes. I know of (older) people who do that while traveling. That seems to be the safest bet for something you can't lose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142826 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:42:13 +0000 hilsy85 142826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I really think you'll be fine then :) Enjoy yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142821 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:39:44 +0000 heffalump 142821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I have a crossbody bag that zips. I wish it had an inside pocket.... but I guess I'll just keep the remote on the bottom. I'd rather them take my money than my remote! I've been there a million times and have never worried before, but I just really can't lose the remote! And I since I'll be so busy focusing on LO I fear that people will notice that and take advantage. No worries about flashing fancy electronics and jewelry... I have none of those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142816 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:36:10 +0000 hilsy85 142816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get a crossbody bag and try to keep one hand on it, if you're worried. Or a bag that zips on the top, or has an inside zippered pocket. But honestly, NYC is very safe...I've never been stolen from or pickpocketed, and I"ve lived here my whole life. Unfortunately, as evidence by Mrs. Bee's story, things happen. but just be safe, keep your bag closed and always in your sight, and don't flash any fancy electronics or jewelry around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-where-do-you-keep-your-walletimportant-things-when-out#post-142798 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:28:04 +0000 heffalump 142798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really worried about it until seeing Mrs. Bee's story where she was pick pocketed. I'll be traveling to NY in a few months and I have something that I absolutely cannot lose. I have a nerve stimulator in my neck and I use a remote control to control the stimulation. One of my big fears is that I'll have the remote control turned way up due to a migraine, and then I'll check my purse and the remote will be gone. It can be painful if it's turned up for too long, and I'll be stuck in NY so I won't be able to do anything about it. So I want to take all precautions possible to make sure that doesn't happen. </p>
