I Hung Out With Some Thieves To Learn How Not To Get Robbed

Published -

According the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) a burglary takes place every three minutes in India.

How do they actually manage to do it? What goes on inside a robber’s mind? We spoke to real ex-robbers, a policeman and a criminal psychologist to find out.

What advice did the thieves give about being careful when using public transportation and why is it important to be prepared for the worst?

As much as we try to avoid it, the reality is that we can all fall victim to theft. Whether it’s a break in at home or a pickpocket on the street, thieves are always on the lookout for their next target. But what if we could learn from them? That’s exactly what I did when I hung out with some thieves to learn how not to get robbed.

The idea came to me when a friend of mine was robbed on the subway. I couldn’t help but wonder how the thief was able to do it so easily. So, I reached out to some people who had experience in stealing to gather some insights. Meeting these thieves was a nerve-wracking experience, but it was fascinating to see how they operated and hear their tips on avoiding becoming a victim.

The first thing the thieves told me was to always be aware of my surroundings. They said that being lost in thought or distracted by a phone can make me an easy target for theft. So, they suggested that I always keep my eyes open and my head up, looking around for any suspicious activity. This simple advice can go a long way in preventing yourself from becoming a target.

Next, they shared some tips on how to protect my belongings. They mentioned that pickpocketing occurs when people let their guard down or give a thief an opportunity to steal. So, they told me to always keep my phone, wallet, and other valuables close to me and never leave them unattended. They also suggested that I avoid carrying large amounts of cash and that I use a money belt to keep my money out of sight.

Another piece of advice was to be careful when using public transportation. They explained that crowded buses and subways are prime locations for theft because it’s easy for someone to blend in and move around unnoticed. They suggested that I try to avoid peak hours if possible and if I do have to use public transport during rush hour, to keep my belongings secure and stay alert.

Lastly, the thieves reminded me that prevention is better than cure. They cautioned that there’s no guarantee that their tips would keep me from being robbed, but that they could help me reduce my risk of being a target. They urged me to always be prepared for the worst and keep a level head if the situation ever arises.

In conclusion, hanging out with some thieves opened my eyes to the ways in which people can avoid becoming a target for theft. By being aware of our surroundings, protecting our belongings, being careful when using public transportation, and exercising caution, we can all take steps to reduce our chances of being robbed. While it may seem unusual to learn from thieves, their expertise can be valuable in helping us to stay safe in our daily lives.
