Never carry a large amount of money. Never resist an armed robber. If your handbag has a top flap, keep the flap facing you when carrying it and put your hand on top of it. Lock up your pocketbook or purse while at work.
Many thefts occur there with persons walking in off the street.
In the powder room, watch your purse. In a public restroom, don't put your handbag high on a hook inside the booth. Never put your name and address in your key case. If it is lost or stolen, you are an easy mark for a burglar using your own keys. If your wallet or pocketbook is stolen or lost, beware of someone calling you to have you pick it up at a specific address.
