Pickpockets (when not doing it for theatrics) will go for the most
liquid asset, and I doubt they would get a lot of money from a PDA, or
if they did they would likely sell it.
Of course robbers have a similar pattern. If someone wanted to rob
you they are going to ask for your PDA?
And you shouldn't keep identifying info (PINs, credit card or account
numbers, etc.) on your PDA or you need to encrypt them (oh, well, back
to my PGP port...)
