Get a fake wallet or money clip,keep a few dollars in it, throw in direction of muggers and flee in other direction.

I knew this, from police instructor, in Philadelphia, but have not thought about it lately.

They also told me, if raped, don't fight. Remember things about the rapist. Don't wash afterwards. Call 911 when rapist gone.

Walk with hand in pocket and with confidence.

Cross street if see gang approaching. Be aware of surroundings.

Walk in well lighted areas.

Don't take short cuts.
