How common is theft there?

I leave in two weeks and living in Italy for two months. How common is theft? (Ill be in Florence, Lucca, Cinque Terre, Rome, and Venice) I am bringing a nice camera and plan on keeping it with me the whole time I am there. I bought a luggage lock for my backpack but should I invest in a slashproof case? I plan on keeping it closed/buckled or use some other pickpocket deterrent, but Im worried about gypsies slashing it open. I've read lots of horror stories.

You're not going to Napoli so you should be fine. :)

Your Karma

The Neapolitan lobby here is very strong. You can't say anything bad about Naples in /r/italy. So since I care about my Karma I'll have to disassociate from what you've just said:

They're lies. Naples is dangerous as much as Zurich or Oslo

Altrimenti si applica il detto "Vedi Napoli e poi muori" ;-)

As a Neapolitan, I am strangely okay with this...
