Being robbed or mugged can leave you feeling powerless and miserable, not to mention out of pocket. How you should react during a robbery really depends on how the event unfolds, but you’re always safer if you don’t put up a fight. There’s no shame in this. Valuables can always be replaced, a punctured lung – or worse – is harder to fix. The one thing you should never do is use a weapon, or you may end up in even more trouble. Remember, if you’ve been mugged try to remember as much about your attackers as possible and report it to the police. This will help prevent muggings in the future and you may even get your stuff back. Check out the links below for more advice.
