On the contrary, I’m American and agree with the experience of never having things taken off me, however I’m still always thinking about it when I’m in a crowded area, even more so when I’m traveling. If I was in Europe where I know pickpocketing is actually more of a problem, I’d be doubly cautious. All this and I’m not racist or xenophobic like a lot of Americans.

Same. I try to stay vigilant about it, especially in crowded locations.
I check my pockets like an ocd person at concerts.
