Criminal limits are inside a person. How else can I explain why I cannot shoplift? I can’t steal a candy-bar from a supermarket, but I can walk in and rob the place with a gun.

Many of the following posts will be from our book, Travel Advisory: How to Avoid Thefts, Cons, and Street Scams While Traveling. (Please excuse the title. I know, it sounds like a weather report, or a traffic report. Kudos to the publisher.) I intend to intersperse book excerpts with reports of current research, stories of thieves not in the book, travel topics, and whatever else might be on my mind. Comments are welcome!
