You’re at risk anywhere you vacation. But if you don’t speak the language, you should be especially careful. Thieves can tell you’re not local. And hence, you become a bigger target. By the time you contact police, your camera is long gone.
Watch your back, Jack
What to do? Well, you can't just hide under the bed. That wouldn’t be a very exciting vacation. And you brought that camera for a reason. You want to take pictures. So, you’ll need to take some precautions.
You're less likely to be victimized if you have a point-and-shoot camera. Professional thieves probably cannot fence them for enough to be worthwhile.
An SLR is a different story. These range from several hundred dollars to several thousand. Thieves know their cameras. They'll take chances to nab a professional model.
