I will add to these tips though.

1. Split your cash and cards up so if you are pickpocketed, you won’t be stuck without a way to get around or eat. I use a money clip for daily expenses that contains cash my driver’s license, two credit cards and my Debit card. Work ID, extra cash and credit cards go in my breast pocket wallet that doesn’t come out in public during the day.
2. Ladies carry your purse with the flap facing you. It makes almost impossible for a pickpocket to get your wallet.
3. Ladies be sure your wallet is in the bottom of your purse and that the purse is properly secured.

The one thing I would add, is that women should secure their purses after returning their wallets to their purses and be sure it’s as close to the bottom as possible. It makes it harder for sticky fingers to walk off with.
My wife can confirm this as it happened to her a couple of years ago.
