When going out to shop in malls and marketplaces, you may want to leave your prized possessions (large sums of money, jewelry, etc.) behind. Pick-pockets and snatchers are ubiquitous in the country, and no matter how safe these malls claim they are, you can never be too sure.
Keep your bags close to you, and your wallets where you can always know they're there. Your credit cards and ATMs should also be kept away from everyone else's eyes.
