When I was in Mexico City earlier in the year, a member of our group did end up getting his iPhone pickpocketed, except it was in the subway.

As much as it's a touristy mantra, do really be proactive about valuables in subways, markets, crowded streets, etc....petty crimes happens to even the most seasoned travelers.
