Even on MTA's DIGITAL SIGN says, "BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS BY STAY AWAKE." STAY AWAKE IS MORE ALERT THAN SLEEPING."
Passengers and homeless still sleeps.
I remember from American's Most Wanted, homeless lady from NY got assauslated, and that suspect destroy boxes which she was using for house.
My other tip is:
1. Backpacks and bags must be on front of you on buses, flights, trains, or even ferries.
2. Never put passports, wallets in back pocket (if jean has back pockets).
3. For ladies & girls, never flash any accessories that are value.
