3) Don't wear anything that a thief would want to steal (ie. nice watch, gold chain and so on).
4) Don't stand on the street fanning yourself with Euros while exclaiming "My word, these people are so ignorant they don't even take the time to learn English."
Seriously, if you don't invite trouble nothing will happen.
