Unfortunately , mothers and little children in the" business" of robbing tourist in Madrid , Milan , Rome or Paris are often originally from other European countries .
This, of course does not make any difference and does not change the fact that many pickpockets
and other criminals are locals.

Theft is never the fault of the victim....it is the fault of the thief. That said, we should not make it any easier for them to commit crimes.
I have a silky bra wallet that won't hold my passport but will hold some money and credit/atm cards.
I almost never stay at hotels and the B&Bs that I frequent do not have safes.

very good point, jaja.
do you have any problems accessing your c/cards etc. during the day?
presumably you have to occasionally eg if you want to get money out of an ATM.

annhig, I wasn't clear....the bra wallet is for my emergency stash. I carry the day's money and one ATM card in a small cross-body purse. If need be, I can usually find a restroom (called a toilet in Ireland) to access the wallet.
I have three ATM cards to circumvent the daily withdrawal limits, my usual credit card, and one for emergency use. While in country I almost never use the credit card(s); I pay cash for nearly everything.
