You aren't all that hard to find again on most tours and he might be pretty angry. If I was paranoid enough to worry about being robbed that might concern me. Just another thing to consider.
Meh. sure thats possible but that level of overthinking the worrys of the road mean staying home would be a better idea. Honestly I don't think that would be a serious problem. They still got a little cash. Besides, usualy the card shows a current date, its just been canceled. That way its not a current account that could still be comprimised by having an actual account #.
Some people want to tour with a gun as protection, I am not that scared. Half of staying out of trouble means using your wits anyway. While some criminals are dangerous, I have found that there are no Lex Luthers in prison or operating on a low level of malfeance.
