Are you sure you just didn't have a bender with Happy for a double over night and you are using this as an excuse?
You should copy me ie wear a thin bum bag around your arm and under your shoulder , its unpickpocketable since its in your line of site always and you have to lift your arm to get to the zip and even then its packed tight it requires lots of force to remove things.
Or just keep your pockets full of crap ie my 4 phones and wallet its nearly impossible to get things out your pockets....
