Once, while I was at a restaurant in Pokhara, lakeside, several year back-One of the German tourist, who was having lunch with us lost his camera, and it was very expensive- I was told later on. He hung his camera at the back of his chair after his showed us some photos. Later while we were ready for home, after having some foods. We found that his camera was missing from the very place he kept few hours ago. He was pretty pissed off and sad to loose his camera.

Such crimes are avoidable, if you're a bit aware and are given few suggestions on how to keep your belongings safe while traveling. Here are few things you should remember about such pitfalls :

• Be prepared : better make some photocopies of your important documents like passport, itinerary, tickets, prescription of medicine and other stuffs which might be important to you. 

For a backup, you can leave it at a hotel room or ask your loved one to keep it safe, in case you lose your copy and need it. Also, back up your digital photos and other important files frequently. If you have expensive electronics( camera, smartphone, iPad, laptops)  consider getting theft insurance. It depends on you, either to lure thieves
or to avoid it. So, better leave your fancy and expensive backpacks and luggage at hotel room instead to carrying to everywhere you go.

3. First don't lose it: travelers are likely to lose their backpacks than to have it stolen. They often leave their cameras and cellphones in a taxi. Or passport, watches and bags on the bus or at hotel rooms. Don't put things in an odd places where your eyes can't reach, or where you're likely to forget, like under pillow, mattress, inside the drawer of cupboard or over it. Before leaving a hotel room or a taxi, run through a mental checklist. Also, don't carry belongings on your hand, which you could drop it, or leave it. Better keep it inside you pockets. Wear a trousers or jackets with a zipper, where you could keep your things safe and zipped. While you're at a café, don't put your cameras and cellphones at the tabletop where it might get easily snatched away. And, always be careful with your belongings and develop it as your habit.
