During large-scale public gatherings or festivals, factors such as dense crowds, noisy environments, and distracted participants are easily used by criminals to carry out theft activities. The following are some common opportunities and preventive suggestions： --- ###**Factors that may be exploited：** 1. **Crowded crowd**： -Physical contact increases when crowded, and pickpockets can take the opportunity to get close to the victim to dig out their pockets, touch their pockets, or even cut their bags. -Precautions: Place the backpack on the chest and put valuables in the inner pocket. 2. **Distraction**： -Performances, lights or fireworks during the celebration may attract attention, and pickpockets take the opportunity to do so. -Precautions: Be vigilant in lively areas and avoid focusing on mobile phones or shooting for a long time. 3. **Integration of dress and environment**： -Thieves may pretend to be tourists, staff or vendors to lower the alert of others. -Precautions: Pay attention to strangers who are too close or repeated ”passers-by". 4. **Improper storage of items**： -The carry-on bag is open, the mobile phone is inserted in the back pocket, and the camera lanyard is too long. It is easy to be stolen. -Precautions: Use a zipper bag to store valuables in close proximity. 5. **Teamwork in crime**： -One person creates chaos (such as collisions, quarrels), and his accomplices take the opportunity to steal. -Prevention: Protect your belongings as soon as possible in the event of an emergency. 6. **At night or dimly lit**： -Dimly lit places (such as night markets and bonfire parties) are easy to conceal. -Precautions: Avoid carrying a large amount of cash, use your mobile phone to pay and open a small amount of password-free. 7. **Temporary facility dead ends**： -Monitoring blind areas such as tents, temporary toilets, and the rear of stalls are prone to theft. -Precautions: Act together and avoid going to remote areas alone. 8. **Electronic equipment interference**： -Use Wi-Fi to interfere or pretend to be a power station to steal mobile phone data. -Precautions: Avoid connecting to unknown hotspots and use mobile power instead of public charging piles. --- ###**Additional reminder：** -**Pre-planning**: Understand the layout of the site and clarify the location of security exits and police booths. -**Streamline belongings**: Only carry necessary items, and place documents separately from cash. -**Children and the elderly**: This type of group is easy to target and requires special care. By improving situational awareness and simple preventive measures, the risk of theft can be greatly reduced. If you find suspicious behavior, you can quietly stay away and notify the security personnel.
