Be on your guard against diversionary tactics
Have extra vigilance over your belongings if an unknown person is trying to distract or help you. Many pickpocket and bag thieves use a diversionary tactic while a accomplice takes your wallet or bag. It can, for example, be that someone spills something on you or, as in this case, puts a necklace on you. Read more about how you can protect yourself against crime on polisen.se.
