The reason why I keep my wallet in my front pocket 24/7 is because of things like that. When we were in Rome, there was a group of people that attempted to steal either my dads jacket or his camera bag. The person that was attempting to distract my dad used a baby so that my dad wouldn't shove her out of the way. Luckily they didn't take either of the two things my dad was caring nor did anyone get hurt.
And just like you said my dad carried our passports and money in the pouch that goes around your neck and under your shirt. I think it I was in Rome for almost a week after our cruise around the Mediterranean.
