1. Never carry a large amount of money. Whatever the amount, don't "flash" it around.
2. Never resist an armed robber.
3. Women with pocketbooks and purses should keep a good hold on them and keep it under your arm (and not freely hangingat your side when walking down the streer). In the super-market don't leave your purse in the shopping cart or walk away from the check-out counter leaving your purse there ... even if for only a moment. If your had-bag has a top flap, keep the flap facing you when carrying it put your hand on top of it. MOST IMPORTANT ... Lockup your pocketbook or purse while at work. Many thefts accure there with persons walking in off the street. In the powder room, watch your purse. In a public restroom, don't put your handbag high on a hook inside the booth.
4. Men with wallets should keep them close on their person. Don't have a bulging wallet in a back pocket or in a cot pocket (it too easily slips out).
5. Clean out your pocketbook or wallet regulary; carry as few credit cards as possible and remove the ones you rarely use or carry them in a different location.
6. Never put your name and addresss in your key case. if it is lost or stolen, you are an easy mark for a burglar using your own keys.
7. If your wallet or pocketbook is stolen or lost, beware of someone calling you to have you pic it up at a specific address. (This is an old trick: while you are getting your wallet or purse back, someone is burglarizing your home).
8. If your wallet or purse has proper identification in it, the U.S. Postal Service will mail it to you if somone drops it into a post box anywhere in the United States. This is also true for Social Security and other checks.
9. Be alert in public places against pickpockets or someone who is simply waiting for the chance to grab your wallet or pocketbook.
10. At night time, simple avoid dark alleys and streets.
11. When walking down a side walk with high bushes on one side, walk to the other side of the sidewalk.
12. Sign all credit cards.
13. Keep a list of all credit cards you have, their numbers and the name and address of the company issuing them.
14. If lost or stolen, promptly report such by telephone to the company and then follow-up your call with a letter stating the same report to each company.
15. If you cancel a credit card, destroy it immediately.
16. Report any loitering people you see arounds homes. parking lots, etc.
17. Take a good look before entering a poorly lit hallway, building, alley or parking lot.
18. The Penna. Crimes Code allows any citizen to resist an attack in any form by another person or persons; use no more force than is necessary.
19. In any crime in which you have had the opprotunity to see the criminal, immediately write down the person's description - don't rely on your memory to much.
20. Consider taking some courses or instructions on self-defense. Besides preparing you in the event you would ever have to defend yourself, it keeps you physical shape.
21. Have something with you to scare off or use against an attacker. A whistle has been proven very effective in many areas; it scares off the criminal and alerts other people.
