How Not to Get Robbed in BCN

Perhaps this is too soon for me to write this, because I fear jinxes. I just knocked on my desk, though, so that should help, even though I think it might be fake wood.

  1. Stay focused and look pissed/focused when walking by bus stations, train stations, etc. and when using the metro, esp. when getting on/off
  2. Have a bag that zips and keep it under your shoulder.
  3. Keep your bag in your lap when in cafes, restaurants
  4. Go out with a clutch, never set it down.
  5. Don’t leave camera out when not taking pictures; zip bag always.
  6. Don’t set down bag/bags. Ever.
  7. If you have to consult a map, try to do so somewhat in private. Make sure bagged is zipped.
  8. Don’t respond to people who even seem the slightest bit shady, esp. when walking by bus and train stations, etc.
