[QUOTE="Coleman, post: 2885113, member: 40974"] I've traveled to a few European countries as well as Australia in 2013. I'll be going to Spain this Fall. What I've done and will continue to do is be very aware. I thwarted am attempt to steal my camcorder in France when I noticed the thug watching me from across the street. I strapped it around my neck with the camera under my arm and turned towards him and looked right at him. It took about 45 seconds for him to look the other way and walk away. I do pack my folding knife into my checked luggage and pack an extra into my wifes luggage just in case one of them 'go missing' before I get my luggage back. Staying in condition yellow and keeping out of bad neighborhoods will allow you to have a great time. A money belt from walmart that holds your credit cards, passport and extra cash is suggested. I didn't feel threatened from pickpockets in Oz, but for peace of mind it should be worn. Have a great time! [/QUOTE]
