And I live in London and nothing has ever happened to me.

It's a warning for any big city, anywhere, whenever you travel. I just don't want people being paranoid when seeing Ayu because of an incident that seems like a planned targeting of someone, not a random pickpocketing that it's harder to avoid. I know this sounds harsh, but like other people have said, this is why you don't let strangers go through your stuff.

When I went to Claridges, we spread out at some points, and some people just left their bags unattended on a street corner, I said "you should take your bags with you", and they didn't see a problem leaving it where the porters could see. The porters are not looking, they're not checking your stuff, they have a job to do. Don't let anyone else take responsibility for your stuff, even other Ayu fans. Just... why would you do that? Mayfair is posh and expensive but that's why people target stuff there, more likely to get something worth more.
