traveling overseas - where can I get one of those "body wallet/pouches" to thwart off pick pockets

[LordSnailz]

It's not the coolest looking things but I wanted to get a couple for our trip ... the last thing I want in this trip is to lose my passport or credit cards.

I checked ebags.com and amazon and they had some but I wasn't sure if those were the best places to look.

:edit: I can't spell

Target carries them. Any travel/luggage store will have them as well.

They have them in airport shops... at least in Pittsburgh and Newark.

a rubberband or two around your wallet works pretty well, too.

could always just front-pocket your id and cash.

Wherever you're going is probably safer than home anyways ;P

They sell them everywhere. Look at your local travel store, REI, Target, etc. And they don't "thwart" off pick pockets.

im pretty sure wearing it under your clothes will...
i could be wrong.

its called a money belt.
unless the OP is talking about a lumbar satchel that you wear outside of your clothes.

just keep your money in your front pocket if you're worried.

not looking like a clueless tourist is probably your best defense.

Yeah I think the pickpocket scare is way over-rated. I walked through CDG airport in Paris for about 3 hours (unknowingly) and then on the RER (train to Paris) with my backpack half unzipped-- and I had a laptop, camera, PSP, 2 cell phones, and a bunch of other stuff I'd really be upset if I lost. I still used a money belt when I was traveling around the cities, but I just kept my passport in it. Kept my wallet in my front pocket and it was all good.
