When your transaction is completed, immediately take your property card, receipt, money, etc. You can count your money later. When you leave the ATM and you feel someone is following you, walk or drive into the closest open business and call the Police. Report all ATM crimes to the local police and the financial institution. This means that if you must walk alone, choose open, well lighted and well-traveled areas.
Crooks don t like to strike where eyewitnesses can provide the police with a detailed account.
Leave your purse at home if possible. If you must carry one, hold it firmly, close to your body. Purse-snatchers prefer to grab from behind. If you walk or job, especially at night, consider getting a dog that can accompany you on a leash. Criminal offenders relate that a dog is one of the most effective crime deterrents.
