At home lock all doors and windows and cancel milk and newspapers. Don't take large quantities of cash. Take travellers cheques and/or

single article limits . Make sure you have with you the emergency numbers to cancel your credit cards

At your hotel, keep valuables and cash in a safe deposit box or in the hotel safe. Please remember that you must obtain a police report in the event of any loss or theft.
