Street Robbery: Dos and Don'ts
- Never wrap a purse strap around your wrist; forcible removal could result in serious injury.
- Keeping cash in a separate money clip or pouch will allow you to hand it over without sacrificing your credit cards, identification, and personal papers.
- RELEASE THE PURSE. Do not risk personal injury.
- Obey the robber's instructions.
- Make a mental note of the robber's appearance, i.e., height, weight, hair color/style, clothing, etc.
- If possible, take down the vehicle license plate number, a description of the vehicle, and the direction the robber is fleeing.
- Then call 9-1-1 immediately!
