Also, if someone tries to get you to another location - RESIST!! Even if he has a weapon. If he would use it on you in a public location, what chance do you have once he has moved you to someplace secluded?
"2. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!"
good advice, but you can also keep some loose bills in your pocket, get ready to throw them and run (hopefully with your purse or wallet intact)
