Do you love to walk the streets and watch the cars passing by? Big city life is a danger. One of the most common troubles is considered to be street robberies. Be vigilant when going for a walk or returning home after a hard day at work.
It is known that 70% of people rob on the streets, and the remaining 30% become victims of robberies in entrances and elevators.
Very often a street thief grabs your purse from your hands and runs away. To avoid this kind of trouble:
- the handbag cannot be carried by the handles: it is easiest to grab it;
- Throw the strap of the bag over your head, and press the bag itself closer to your stomach;
- You can hang the purse over your shoulder, but its strap should be wrapped around your wrist.
Experienced thieves, noticing that the precautions have been taken, will bypass you.
Mobile phones are another target for thieves. Thieves snatch expensive phones right from the hands of the owner, or pull them out of your pocket. Do not reach your phone where there are many people. Carry your mobile phone in a closed purse, not in your pocket.
Experts say that we ourselves provoke thieves to robbery by showing expensive mobile phones, large bills, jewelry. To prevent such a nuisance, follow the rules:
- when you pay in a store, do not take large bills out of your wallet at all;
- when you withdraw money from an ATM, stand near it until you put the money in your wallet, and the wallet in your purse. As you walk away from the ATM, look around you to see if there are any suspicious people nearby. If you don't like something, go to a busy street as quickly as possible and blend in with the crowd;
- do not walk on deserted streets at night. If there is no other way for you to go to the house, ask someone to meet you.
