There are occasional reports where bros after visiting a WG do find their wallets a little lighter more than usual. The smart thing to do, don't bring up more than you need upto these places. Play it ...
This comes from the mouth of a very well seasoned monger. In Hong Kong, it isn't so bad but in China you have to be wary about everyone. I was never hit in China but I know a few guys who has had their wallets stolen while sleeping, and once robbed by 4 guys after the girl brought him to a place in Shen Zhen. I have heard a horrifying story about someone who was kidnapped while mongering in Dong Guan.
In NYC, the SWs will rob you blind. I have been hit 3 times early in my career. Once this girl was licking and sucking on my hands and I lost a gold ring, another was when I lost a gold chain, and the third time I had my extra money lifted from my glove compartment.
At the Asian joints, I have never heard nor have I ever had anything stolen from me. Mongering is illegal here so therefore the establishments are very careful about everything because all it takes is one disgruntled customer to shut the place down.
