I think if you're a tourist with a kid or two you really don't stand a chance. First priority is to make sure Billy doesn't step in front of a cablecar and second is to find the fucking Vatican and third is to not get pickpocketed, maybe.

Keep your wallet in your inside jacket pocket. Not impossible to pickpocket, but much harder, and no one's going to bother in a touristy area where there are plenty of easier wallets to steal.

I looped mine to my belt and hung it inside my pants.

Pro: even harder to reach surreptitiously

Con: can't pay for things without looking like you're touching yourself

Nope that's a pro I was trying to make it through all of Europe for a really long time on like $1500
