Most of the purse snatchings around here is grabbing a woman's purse that is sitting in the shopping cart OR the fast smash the sidewindow and grab whatever is on the seat. Men are still pretty easy pickings for wallet snatching. As you mention, don't carry a lot of valuables with you because it could get lost. When I had a car accident and had to go by ambulance, they couldn't find my purse. It sat in my unlocked vehicle in the impound lot for several days. Fortunately, nobody bothered it.
I wouldn't go anywhere without an ereader and take my cheap ereaders with me. A $50 Kindle Basic isn't going to break my bank - but I bring family member to doctor's appointments that can last a couple of hours not to mention the ER. I could not be without an ereader then or I'd go nuts. The Voyager stays home - it doesn't even go with me to housesit for my sister (100 miles away) because it would be a month or more before I got it if I forgot it.
