---

I've worked in law enforcement for 17 years, dealing with everyday crimes that affect ordinary people. This article aims to inform you about common crimes and how to minimize your chances of becoming a target when you're away from home.

Unattended Property:


In busy cities, many fall victim to theft simply by leaving belongings unattended. This often happens in public places like coffee shops, bars, supermarkets, gyms, churches, schools, and workplaces. To avoid this, never leave your belongings unattended. If you must put something down, ensure either you or a companion keeps a close watch. Thieves prefer to strike when they believe no one is watching, so vigilance is your best defense. Also, avoid leaving valuables in your car, especially when you're at the beach or playing sports.

Pickpocketing:


Known legally as grand larceny, pickpocketing involves stealing from pockets, bags, or purses. This crime thrives in places such as subways, buses, crowded sidewalks, and stores. Here are a few precautions you can take: Women should carry purses in front where they’re visible. Men should keep wallets in front pockets instead of back pockets or jackets. Avoid falling asleep on public transport, as this vulnerability often attracts thieves. Being aware of your surroundings is crucial?"criminals typically strike when people are distracted.

Snatches:


Commonly known as purse or chain snatching, today's thieves target items like cell phones, money, iPods, and metro cards. Often, they use bikes for a quick getaway. To prevent theft, avoid carrying these items openly in your hands. Store them securely when not in use, and stay aware of your surroundings when using them. Position yourself so that it's difficult for a thief to quickly grab and run.

Robberies:


Robbery involves taking property through the use or threat of force. It can occur during previously mentioned crimes like snatching. To reduce your risk, follow the above guidelines for unattended property and vigilance against pickpocketing. In your car, keep doors locked and maintain space from the car ahead to allow for a quick escape if needed. If living in an apartment, avoid entering with strangers, and be wary of unfamiliar faces in the lobby. After handling money at a bank or check-cashing location, be cautious and ensure no one follows you.

Conclusion:


By adhering to these safety tips, you significantly lower your chances of becoming a crime victim. In the unfortunate event that a criminal approaches you, always prioritize your safety over property. Remember, items can be replaced, but your life cannot. Stay safe!
