In Jogyakarta an Indonesian man stopped us to tell my step-daughter to carry her small back pack on the front of her body and not on her back because people walking/standing behind her might steal things out of it without her knowlege.
I carry shopping bags containing camera etc slung over whatever arm is furthest from the kerb and so far it's been ok.
