(scratches head) What valuables am I keeping insecure by using a credit
card?

The credit card itself, and possibly the wallet in which you keep it,
which may contain other valuables.

The credit card itself can be replaced if it's stolen, unlike cash.

As for whatever else is in the wallet, that issue is independent of what
I'm pulling out of the wallet. Except that if I usually use credit
cards, there probably isn't much cash in my wallet to begin with.

If I don't want to pull my wallet out, I keep my credit card in a
separate pocket.

I keep my CCs well out of reach when on the Tube, but keep my tickets handy.

Although London seemed quite safe to me, if I'm worried about losing
anything on the Tube, it's cash, not credit cards. (Oh, and a black
cotton jacket. I managed to lose that too. Last I saw it, it was
traveling on the Piccadilly line, a bit over a month ago.)
