LPT: Buy an old phone off eBay or CraigsList, keep it empty of all personal data and info, and carry it with you on vacation or when traveling in unfamiliar places. If you get mugged, hand that one over. Nobody ever expects someone to have a dummy phone so they’ll take it and go, leaving you with your real phone. My brother was just mugged recently in Honolulu and gave them an old iPhone 8 he paid $30 for and they took off. He went back to his hotel with his actual phone perfectly safe and in his possession…
