Can we talk about the time a hostel owner in Lisbon told me my laptop bag screamed 'rob me'?
He pointed out my shiny, new-looking bag and said, 'You might as well put a sign on it,' so I swapped it for a beat-up old backpack I found at a market for 10 euros, and honestly, I feel way less stressed in crowded places now, so what's the best low-key gear trick you've picked up on the road?

Forget the bag itself and look at how you carry it. Thieves watch body language more than brands. A person clutching a bag tight to their chest with nervous eyes is a bigger target than someone with a relaxed, casual hold on any bag. The beat-up backpack works because you stop acting like a guard on duty. It's about the vibe you give off, not just the gear.
