Article Abstract:
There are methods of thieving that are characteristic of some countries that export them along with thieves. Muggings are common in Barcelona and Madrid, Spain, while street vendors may seek to distract travelers in Turkey, so that they can be robbed. Theft is becoming an increasing problem in Italy. Travelers should take out insurance, and can use hotel safes to store their valuables. Security bags also offer some protection, and waterproof versions are available.
