1. Consider your evening itinerary. Exclude from it the road passing through vacant lots, construction sites, industrial areas, parks, along the long abandoned buildings, through the passages under overpasses, desolate underground and overground pedestrian crossings, streets with bustling night clubs and drinking establishments, unlit paths between the houses. It is best to make a route that goes along the well-lit highways and roads where you are on everyone's mind. 2. Do not walk on dark streets "buried" in the phone screen is still that hang over the beacon to attract the attention of the offender. 3. Move in a crowd of people. If you exit the subway, the bus or train, try to go along with other people, not shortening the journey to the desert and the dark alleys. The likelihood of being attacked by a large gathering of people, very small. 4. Tell the family what time you leave, how long will it take you to drive and what route you will go. This will help my family in time to raise an alarm if along the way something happens. 5. If you know in advance that you have to walk home in the dark, don't wear flashy expensive clothes that might give the offender the idea that you have something to make money. Should not be worn desactivadas bags, noticeable jewelry, a purse with a large sum of money. 6. Individual advice: try to take a minimum of banknotes or store large and small money separately. Criminals often watch the victim at the store checkouts, ATMs, transport when you travel in places where you can see the contents of the purse. Credit card, if possible, should be stored even in the bag, and separate inner pocket of clothing along with important documents. The bag can take, but the documents and Bank cards should remain with you. 7. Trouble can deliver not only criminals or robbers. Often on the street are going to a group of drunk people who can create a conflict situation. To provocations such people it is better not to answer. If a conflict threatens to call the fight — attract the attention of others a cry for help 8. Attack not only on the street, but in the stairwell. Never get on an Elevator with strangers. If you are suspicious, then before you go to the entrance, call relatives and ask them to meet you. In an emergency, if you are attacked, call in all the apartment and call for help. Most quickly people respond to the cries of fire. 9. Motorists also need to be careful. Turning off the engine, do not rush to open the door and go out. Take immediately the bag and valuables that the offender could not open the door, grab them and run. In addition to the robbery, there is the danger of car theft, when criminals simply ejected the driver from the car and leave. Be careful, leave the car on Parking, as offenders often waiting in unlit areas, around corners of buildings, behind bushes and trees. 10. If you are threatened and need to give property or money — agree! No jewels, things, or money is not worth your life. Try to remember as many details about the offender: conversation, tattoos, scars, clothing, distinguishing features, height, hair or eye color, facial features. After the robbery, be sure to contact the police, report everything you can remember about the offender. Hot on the trail there are more chances of him getting caught.
