Travel Alert !!

Mutual of Omaha, The Travelers too,
Pick the best that’s right for you.
Avoid crime on the road: Be alert to Tricks
The jostle, the hustle, exits and entries
People drop coins, ask for change, borrow a
pen
A suitcase distraction spills clothes on the floor.
Being asked directions or bumped in line
Might be a staged performance….or not.
Be aware of vulnerable moments: cell calls,
Eating, checking tickets, counting money and time
Survey the check in counter, the money changeers, the newsstand and duty free
While you're shopping for Scotch
Are your possessions out the door?
Avoid the problems by traveling with few items
Proceed to secure areas faster and wait.
Thieves work in groups, or alone
They distract, take and pass the loot
Put wallets inside coat or in side pocket.
Rear pockets are sucker pockets
Rubber band around wallet will cause friction.
You'll feel it: being robbed
Put your money inside a zipped pocket in purse
Spread your cash around, in your shoes and under there.
Close the bags., buckle the straps, snap the
latches.
Lower the profile – no jewels, old cheap-looking
luggage
Carry minimal cash. Stay alert. Stay alive.
