A thief may ask you to try on their fake pieces of jewelry, and while removing their jewelry, they will also take yours. To avoid falling for this trick, keep a safe distance from strangers. #DistractionTheftTipTuesday

While shopping, thieves may approach you with innocent questions, such as your opinion on a product or help finding an item. During this short time, an accomplice can pilfer valuables from your handbag. Keep your handbag close at all times. #DistractionTheftTipTuesday
