How To Avoid a Purse Snatcher: Protect Your Handbag Valuables from Being Stolen

Common sense tells us the best way to avoid being a victim of a purse snatcher is to simply not carry one at all.
If you must carry a handbag, keep it under your coat or in a shopping bag.
Statistics tells us that the majority of purse snatchers are under the age of 18 so be aware of those around you.
If someone demands your pocketbook, give it to them. If you don’t you may suffer harm or death.
Never go shopping alone.
Avoid deserted areas when you’re walking.
Only keep a few dollar bills in your wallet at all times.
It’s a good idea to keep cash and credit cards in your jacket pocket instead of your purse.
Never put your purse on a shopping cart, as purse snatchers can quickly grab them when you’re not looking.
Never carry a lethal weapon in your purse that could be used against you.
Think about getting pepper spray or a whistle to protect yourself.
Always keep your car keys where you can reach them quickly.
Don’t write your name or address on your keys, as it will only lead the thief to your home.
Remember that most attackers come up from behind you.
Always call the police immediately after being attacked and give them as much information as you can about the attacker.
