Street Robbery Tips:
- Try to remain calm. Do not resist. Consider the robber dangerous.
- In most cases, the robber only wants your valuables/money and is not there to hurt you.
- Assume the robber is armed, even if you don't see a weapon.
- If a weapon is displayed, consider it to be real and loaded. Don't stare at it.
- Do only what the robber tells you. If you don't understand, tell the robber.
- Attempt to get a good, complete description of the robber.
- Your main goal is to survive!
- Don't fight back! The most effective self defense measures include running away, hiding and screaming. More people will respond to someone yelling "FIRE" than "HELP".
- Remember--your money can be replaced, your life can't.
