Mistakenly i brought my camera in my purse. I felt very secure because i had my hand on my purse the whole time but when more and more people got on a woman got right next to me with a backpack and jacket on the strap of it. I felt funny about it so i kept looking down to make sure my purse was ok but the trolley stopped hard a couple times and i had to take my hand off my purse to steady myself for two secodns but that was all it took and she took my camera and got off before i realized it, and it made it easy for her because she had her backpack over my purse. My advice if you are on a subway, bus, trolley, etc. no matter how rude it seems push someone away from you if you dont feel comfortable or keep your elbows out so they cant get so close to you they are touching no matter how packed it is.

Makes me rethink about pockets the next time. Scared crap when one guy tried to fish my cellphone out of my back pocket. This is a nice article. Makes me rethink about pockets the next time.
