We would also like to remind you of some basic safety rules that can protect you from theft during The TallShipsRaces and other large outdoor events.
- Make sure that your documents and money are safe.
- Pay special attention to people around you.
- Remember that it’s easier to rob a person who is under the influence of alcohol.
- Do not carry more cash than you may actually need.
- Keep your money in two places – this will lower the risk of losing the whole sum.
- Don’t open your wallet so that bystanders could see it.
- Have your eye on your luggage/bag/backpack.
- Keep your bags and packages in front of you.
- Pay attention to people trying to make a fake crowd.
