Stay off your cell phone while you are walking around Baltimore streets. Please be wise, mobile devices distract you and have street value to thieves. 5. Don t count your money in public or display large amounts of cash or jewelry. 6. If you re working late or have to walk through an unfamiliar area, have a friend walk with you.
