Pickpockets.
Safest place is in a front pocket IIRC.

There is no pocket on my jeans that will be harder to get into then my
leather pouch with a fastened flap wore on the front of my belt next to
my buckle.

No one touches that area of me and is not noticed immediately.
Not that I allow anyone that close to me anyway.
I don't do pressing crowds.

They can create that situation with accomplices. It's very hard to
avoid once you're in a potential crush situation and once you've been
targeted.

BTW
$20 in $1 bills thrown in the air is pretty good at distracting muggers
while one runs away at high speed screaming like a little girl.

Most recent attempt at pick pocketing me, a comely female accomplice
attempted to distract on the left side, while this well dressed little
weasel tried to pick my right pants pocket (slacks, so he had a
chance). You should have seen him take off when I caught him..
