The streets can be rough. Don’t be this guy—a few simple precautions will keep the muggers off your back.

You Will Need

  • Pockets
  • Worn clothing
  • An angry glare

Step 1: Put away iPod

Put away that iPod. Stick it in your pocket ‘til you’re somewhere safe.

Step 2: Put wallet in front pocket

If you carry your wallet, don’t keep it in your back pocket. Instead, put it in a front pocket. Better still, keep money in your socks.

Step 3: Wear stained shirt

Instead of a pink polo, try a white T-shirt—with stains.

If you must wear expensive clothes, consider buying a cheap jacket at a thrift store. Once you’re at your destination you can throw it away.

Step 4: Don't act like tourist

Stop staring up at buildings like a tourist. Try to seem familiar with your environment. Periodically yell, “Benny! Where you at!”

Step 5: Adopt angry glare

Adopt an angry glare.

If you’re having trouble looking mad, imagine you just bought a used T.V. But when you got home and plugged it in, it was broke.

Step 6: Project confidence

While maintaining your angry glare, do your best to project confidence. Like dogs, muggers can smell fear. Pretend that you’re a judo master, or that you have retractable adamantium claws.

By now the thieves will be looking for another target.

Because of its tiny number of residents, Vatican City has the highest per capita crime rate of any country in the world.
