Beware of motorbike snatch thieves
Hanoi is a safe city. There is low-level street theft of the pick-pocket variety, but threats to physical safety are rare. There have been some incidents of distraction tactics used to snatch purses and wallets. Pedestrians should try to stay away from motorbikes to the extent possible to avoid "drive-by snatchings." Anything left unattended is at considerable risk.
