Good list.

I try to split my money and credit cards even when I have them all with me (e.g. some in wallet/pocket and some in a safety pouch that loops over my belt).

And a couple of times in cities where I know that pickpocketing or petty crime is rife I have carried a sort of decoy wallet, with a bit of money in it and some expired credit cards or other, non-essential cards like club membership cards and so on. I've never had to use it, but if I was ever cornered I might get away with handing it over... (It all sounds a bit Maxwell Smart though...)
