Basic Street Sense ·
Wherever you are – at the office, client site, or moving about on the street – stay alert and aware of your surroundings and those around you; use caution when using a mobile/smart phone or other device.
While Walking ·
Don’t display large amounts of cash or other tempting targets like expensive jewelry or electronics, including your smart phone; consider carrying your laptop computer in a bag that does not make it obvious to others that you have a laptop inside. · Have to work late? Make sure there are others in the building, and ask someone – a colleague or security officer – to walk you to your car or to the transit stop.
In Your Car ·
Avoid looking for your car keys as you are walking; have them in your hand as you approach your car. Look inside your vehicle before getting in to make sure nobody is inside. · Never leave a laptop bag on a car seat in plain view. Always lock it in the trunk. · Try to keep the windows up and always lock the car doors when driving; if parked, do the same.
When traveling by bus or train ·
Stay alert! Don’t sleep. Hold your belongings – do not slide them under your seat. · Watch who gets off with you. If you feel uneasy, walk directly to a place where there are other people and stay there until the other person leaves.
If someone tries to rob you… ·
Don’t resist. Give up your physical property, don’t give up your life. · Report the crime to the police as soon as you can.
ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE!
