i read somewhere that london is the most dangerous city in the world. they have more murders than nyc and la. and everyone over there does cocaine from like 12 year old girls to 70 year old men.

Where do you live?

i lived in West Hampstead for the summer of 1991 - one of the best times of my life. got to see Moby play 'Go' at the Astoria back when that was his first track.

New Years, Giant Village 2004-2005...
My then girlfriend and I make the way to Oakenfold's stage. Chemical Brother's Galvanize is blasting while we await Oakenfold. We're feeling great, having the time of our lives... looking forward to the new year which is mere minutes away. I'm holding my girl in front of me, and there's this couple dancing behind me. they bumped into me lightly here and there.. didn't think much of it, since the venue was packed. Probably less than 1 mintue before the new year, i feel some hand reaching into my back pocket, grabbing my wallet. I quickly hit the hand away and turn back. turns out it was that bitch dancing behind me w/ her man. I'm fronting the girl about her botched pickpocket attempt, her man's just standing there doing nothing. While this stupid bickering is taking place, fireworks are going off, people are celebrating the new year. Needless to say, this killed my roll and night. fucked up trying to steal my wallet, but even more fucked up doing so seconds before the new year
I even had a wallet chain attached to my wallet. From that situation, I realized that wallet chains call attention to the fact that you have a wallet, & even points out which particular pocket your wallet is in... so you're probably more likely to get pickpocketed if you use wallet chains. I've been to NUMEROUS PACKED, shoulder to shoulder, moshing, events/concerts and this is the only time something like this has ever happened. ever since, I don't use wallet chains anymore. If my pants have a button on the back, I'll bring my wallet into the event; if not, I don't even use a wallet and place my cash/id in my shirt pocket that has a button or front pockets. or if anything, always place your shit in front pockets, never the rear.

Was I being rude? Didn't mean to, that's just the way I sound sometimes.
Anyway... as Scatterbrain mentioned, don't put anything in your back pockets if you're going to be in a crowded place. Also, if you really don't need to carry your wallet around, then don't. You can always put your ID in your socks (make sure socks aren't all stretched out) or if you have pants that have zippers on pockets, that works too.

hahaha... that pretty much goes for anywhere now.

Can't imagine people paying $80+ to mug people. Maybe outside the event but even then I don't think its happens much.

You know when I travel anywhere I buy those traveler's pouch (the kind you wear as a necklace underneath a ashirt or the kind that's a fanny pack you wear on the inside of your pants.
