A common way for thieves to get your belongings off you is to drug you.

Do NOT accept any drinks or food from people who you are just getting to know.

They may contain sedative drugs to stop you struggling when they attempt to steal your money belt or rucksack. It is best to politely decline.

Beware also in pubs and restaurants, especially if you are joined by unfamiliar people, as they may try to spike your drink with drugs when you are not looking.
