It is better to prevent unpleasant situations, like diseases, than to disentangle the consequences later. But it is impossible to foresee everything in life. Even if you do not walk down dark alleys, carry large sums of money with you, and do not open the door to strangers, you can become a victim or witness of a robbery. And it is better to know in advance how to act in such cases.
Instructions
Step 1
If someone tries to break or open your door to your apartment Let the burglars know that you are at home. Cough loudly, sing a song, turn on the TV, call someone a man's name, or pretend to answer a call. Even if you are alone at home, pretend that you are the whole company. Remember the famous movie "Home Alone". If that doesn't help, call the police and your neighbors. Ask the neighbors to look through the peephole and remember the signs of the robbers. Open the window and make a noise. Shout, call for help and grab the attention of passers-by. If you live in a private house and there are no neighbors nearby, barricade the door with furniture. If this is not possible, dump as many heavy objects, things and clothes as possible at the door. Your task is to stretch out the time and prevent intruders from getting inside before the police arrive.
Step 2
If burglars are inside your home Do not enter your home if you find the door is open and someone is inside. Try to move to a safe place, but so that you can see the approach to the house. Call the police. You can only try to apprehend thieves on your own if you are absolutely confident in your abilities. If the police are delayed, and thieves leave the house with your things, try to remember their signs as closely as possible. This will help police officers to detain criminals in hot pursuit and return your property.
Step 3
If you witness a store or bank robbery, follow the criminals' demands. If you are ordered to lie on the floor and put your hands behind your head, obey. Don't annoy the robbers or make them nervous. Try to calm down. Do not shout, cry or appeal to the conscience of criminals. At the same time, do not lose your composure and try to remember everything that is happening around. How many robbers are there, how do they speak, with or without an accent, are there women among them, even what smell comes from them and what kind of shoes they have. Even the most insignificant details can further help the investigation to solve the crime.
