anti-theft ideas

I know this isn't really a conspiracy but I figured this could help some people, I grew up in a city with alot of thieves, muggers and pickpockets (yes there are differences) so I figured I'd give you some ideas on how to prevent getting your stuff stolen
-Put a wide elastic band around your wallet as this makes it nearly impossible for pickpockets not to get caught, the elastic will grab onto the frabic in your pockets. So you can catch your pickpocket red handed
-A friend of my recommended that in order for people to use scanners on your bank card (cards that use the tap function) you can use a hole punch to DENT NOT PUT A HOLE IN YOUR CARD as this makes it so scanners won't work but this makes it so you can't use tap anymore. But I have a theory that if you can put a thin piece of lead in the base of your wallet the scanner won't work as long as you have your card in your wallet
-If you suspect a pickpocket is targeting you give constant eye contact as this allows to let a pickpocket know if your suspicious so they will back off
- To prevent a thief breaking into your home try to get more than one lock because thieves will either go to break your door but it will make too much noise, if they are really skilled they will pick your locks or use a bump key but due to having two locks it will take them longer and will be more likely to get caught
- This is something that somepeople may not be able to do, but when it comes to muggers learn how to disarm either firearms or knives, no mugger will try to mug you without something to threaten you with
-Another way to deal with muggers is to carry a minimum of $10-20 on you because if you have nothing this will agitate the mugger and possibly hurt you, another thing is to learn how to calm someone down

If you want more tips I'm more than willing to make another thread, I hope this helps you guys :)
