New generations (not age reference but tech early adopters) tend to use Smartphones for almost everything and this affects the future of Pickpocketing, especially those experts on approaching tourists. Sorry this game is changing!
It's very hard to steal a Smartphone because much of the time you have it in your hands!
Is very hard for Pickpockets to take away your Smartphone, for many reasons: they are not as light as a wallet; you carry them in your hands most of the time; could be linked with headphones and you would notice if someone switch off the music; ... and I could be point out thousands of challenges to Pickpocketing.
Tourist are a preferred target, but traveling industry is going digital so the Pickpocketing is made on the Digital Ecosystem Hackers in the Free Wi-Fi.
You don´t need money to pay the Hotel anymore or the Apartment (you pay this services in advance), the flights or ride sharing are also paid electronically. To eat you can "Find a table" on different apps and use VISA / MasterCard to pay for it. Basically the end game is that you need money for tips and souvenirs.
Documents well you can put everything digital inside Dropbox or Drive and tap them as "Favorite" everything you need for your travel journey is a Credit Card and your Passport, two documents and no wallet next to your Smartphone!
About your travel experience... no paper needed you have millions of apps to help you with almost everything, it's even more eco-friendly because it's paper free! Imagine all the saved forests if tourists start using apps instead of paper maps. Apps have an extra they can guide and orientate you, paper can't!
