Try not to carry much cash in your wallet. Carry personal ID's in innermost pockets and minimal cash in wallets/purses. That way if they steal your purse they can't steal your ID's credit cards. Also, in a robbery the person is usually in a hurry and will not make you empty ALL of your pockets. Try putting stuff in your socks too, if you wear them.

I don't even carry a purse because robbery was a very common occurance where I grew up. Kinda sucks...
I agree and disagree.

If they want your stuff, give it to them, a purse isnt worth your life...

THAT HAVING BEEN SAID......

If soemone takes your stuff thern tries to get you into a vehicle, resist like hell. If they get you outta public spot, your as good as gone. Seriously.. Think about it. Soemone pulls a gun on you in a parkign lot, run like hell, scream, whatever. Odds are they wont shoot someone with 50 million witnesses around. Secondly, and this sounds morbid, but theres a pretty good chance you could survive a gunshot. Especially if you are running away, past cars in a lot, etc. Its way preferable to you being taken into the woods and raped and violated 50 ways then murdered.

I say this because one of my brothers, well call John, was a big SOB, played football, etc. Anyway, he was cashing his paycheck at his bank (one of those inside a grocery store) and after he did, a guy walks up to him lifts his shirt enough to show John the but of a gun and tells him to get in the truck. The abductor drove. As soon as they were on the highway, John realizes another car was following. THey pulled off the road, made him get out, the other car pulls up behind, 4 other guys get out. THey walk him into the woods. He thought he was dead for sure. Apparently they hit him over the head with a log, because they knocked him out. He came too a while later, and his shoes were gone and so was his vheicle (which they later found intact some distance away). The police believed they thought John was someone else who must hav eowed a debt to some shady peeps. Hes very lucky to be alive.

So as for me, I'll never get in a car like that. I'll give up my wallet or even the car, but will run like a MF to get away.
