The streets can be rough. Don't be this guy—a few simple precautions will keep the muggers off your back.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Pockets
Worn clothing
Angry glare

Step 1: Put away iPod

Put away that iPod. Stick it in your pocket until you're somewhere safe.

Step 2: Put wallet in front pocket

If you carry a wallet, don't keep it in your back pocket. Instead, put it in a front pocket. Better still, keep money in your socks.

Step 3: Wear stained shirt

Instead of a pink polo, try a white T-shirt—with stains.

Tip: If you must wear expensive clothes, consider buying a cheap jacket at a thrift store. Once you're at your destination you can throw it away.

Step 4: Don't act like tourist

Stop staring up at buildings like a tourist. Try to seem familiar with your environment. Periodically yell, "Benny! Where you at!"

Step 5: Adopt angry glare

Adopt an angry glare.

Tip: If you're having trouble looking mad, imagine you just bought a used T.V. But when you got home and plugged it in, it was broke.

Step 6: Project confidence

While maintaining your angry glare, do your best to project confidence. Like dogs, muggers can smell fear. Pretend that you're a judo master, or that you have retractable adamantium claws.
