Secrets To Avoid Getting Mugged: A Veteran Thief Reveals All | TODAY

Truth!!!

[@yixnorb5971]

In Paris late at night in the Latin Quarter a person I did not know came up to me and attempted to start a conversation. He seemed unusually friendly to me. The first thing I thought of was that this was an attempt to take my attention away from my surroundings. But I had read about safety. I ignored him, turning around to see someone else coming up behind me. I left immediately. I don't care if this was rude. To this day I don't know if I escaped a possible bad situation or if the guy just wanted to talk. WAY too many red flags that night.

Nowadays if someone asked me for the time I would be suspicious because everybody has cell phones.. I haven't got asked the time in a good 10 years lol

[@sammosaurusrex]

There's a really common grift in NYC where someone asks you for your cell phone to make a call and.... Yeah I actually have no idea what they're plan is, but it seems like it's something other than a simple snatch and run, since it's always well-to-do looking panhandlers running it. I once had a more sophisticated actor loudly complaining about how he needed to make a call and then "ask me the time" to try and get me to take my cell phone out, but I had a watch so he couldn't even act like I was being rude.

[@sammosaurusrex]

Oh I actually just googled it and it's to try and subscribe you to a paid service they get commission from, then deleting the subscription text so you don't immediately realize you're being charged. Wow, neat little scam. They're always running it in these dense areas with cops nearby where a snatch and run just doesn't seem feasible/sustainable, bet it makes some people let their guards down a little.

[@bowtieguy85]

I do occasionally, but that's mostly because I think people want to check out my pocket watch.

one time i was leaving around 5am for work. i live in philly so parking is scarce lol i was walking to the corner to get to my car and i noticed someone walking across the street. he wasn't acting weird but i got a really uneasy feeling. i'm paranoid already so i have the habit of only unlocking my door and hopping in, immediately shutting the door, and then immediately locking it and thank god i do cause next thing i know he's at my door trying to get me to roll the window down and blocking me from pulling out since i was parallel parked. i know how easy it is to hear everything inside and out of my car so i knew he could hear me telling him to move and knew him acting like he couldn't hear me yelling was a lie so i just pulled out and he of course eventually moved after realizing i wasn't gonna stop for him. i would like to think he didn't have bad intentions but a grown man should never approach a woman when she's alone ESPECIALLY at hours like that and definitely shouldn't ask her to put herself in a vulnerable situation like rolling down the window for a stranger tf

One of the best tips I've heard is to spend random moments watching people acting normally, just doing day-to-day things, to train your subconscious to pick up on the subtle clues people give off when they're up to something: getting a little too close when asking for the time, taking a furtive look around as they approach you, etc. Then keep your head out of your phone (or at least look up/around every few seconds) and pay attention to your surroundings.

I was carjacked at gunpoint right in front of my apartment, and live in a nice neighborhood that has a lot of muggings due to proximity to bad neighborhoods. A couple tips I've adopted that might help people: (1) keep your head on a swivel at all times, especially walking at night (2) be extra careful when it's raining because nobody is out on the streets (3) keep your house key in a separate pocket, hidden (4) make sure you have quick access to a device where you can track your phone (5) in residential neighborhoods, walk down the middle of the street at night (6) be extra careful when entering/exiting the car and the house/apartment area. your only goal is to make them go away as quickly as possible without shooting you.

[@boatsfa2015]

schitaco or....take jiu jitsu, learn how to shoot practically, carry a concealed gun, stop giving them all the power, rise to the top of the dominance hierarchy.

[@schitaco]

Most muggings are a surprise and you have no time to react. Good luck busting out some karate moves or pulling a concealed weapon on a three armed 16 year old kids from the hood pointing guns at your belly. I'll take awareness, careful planning, and survival above your fantasy dominance.

[@becca92193]

I'm 28yo, 6ft 4in, 210 pounds and I'm a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor. I thought fighting back while being mugged was a good idea. It wasn't. I was stabbed in the right tight and was very lucky to survive the attack (I was in the middle of nowhere and the guy missed my femoral artery by millimeters). Don't try to be a hero in a situation like that.

[@artyomarty391]

jiu jitsu is not exactly the best art for self defense on the street. I train in Judo and we sometimes cross train with Jiu Jitsu and I swear, some of these jiu jitsu guys, their first move is they drop on the floor on their backs and are like "attack me", looks hilarious.

[@Gilbertmk2]

Artyom Arty Gotta agree, I do jiu jistu and muay thai and if I had to choose I'd rather use muay thai. I don't wanna roll with a guy that had a knife, I'd rather use striking. A good kick can take the fight out of a person real quick although op is probably right, don't be dumb.

[@JuandelaCruz001]

As a semi-retired practitioner of different arts myself, I can be BRUTALLY HONEST to those whom I taught and to some other practitioners who are open enough to learn the TRUTH; martial arts and REAL self-defense are different! Don't confuse your hobby or sport with your life! REAL SELF DEFENSE has nothing to do with techniques/competition or awards/styles/athleticism or fitness/belt color or rank/school or lineage/masters or instructors/machismo or courage (WILL to survive is another matter). Real self defense is about adopting TACTICS and correct BEHAVIOR by the organ in between your ears in 3 stages; pre-actual-post conflict. I am very glad you survived and got wiser from this experience. Now you'll come out with a perspective to make you a better BJJ'ist overall.

Tony Montana you just escalated one problem to another if you become the robber now you gotta figure out how to stop going to jail

[@kaguth]

I got mugged once a when I was in my early 20s and I figured out a basic approach to avoid it after that. When it's late and there aren't many people around, always keep an eye out to who's approaching you. If someone's coming toward, switch the side of the street, unless they look harmless. If someone asks you a question or tries to talk to you, don't answer, just ignore them, keep moving but keep an eye on them. If they start running you start running.

Looking down at your smartphone and not paying attention to your surroundings makes you VERY vulnerable. When out in public walking down the streets, stay off the phone and pay attention to what's going on around you. It's called "situational awareness". When walking past store fronts with big glass windows, glance at them and use them like a mirror to see if any one is walking behind you a little too closely. You can use car windows too that are parked along a sidewalk. Many elevators have a reflective ceiling. Before you walk in there look at the ceiling to see if some one is standing in the corner that might not be visible from just outside the door. Try to bring a friend with you if you have to walk somewhere after dark. Stick together and be alert and watchful.

[@RedSky-vf8bf]

Check out this golden piece of advice someone left here in the comments: "Walk around with head phones, looking at your phone." It got like 100 thumbs up. Yes, 100 people think that blinding yourself by staring down at your feet and deafening yourself with music will protect them. The reality- it simply makes you look like a sickly gazelle separated from the herd; an easy target that can be robbed and run from before they even know what's happening.

Pete Smyth - I question your knowledge, judgement, and experience to put it kindly. A few years ago my wife (a house wife) was attacked by four men who explicitly told her what they intended to do to her. There were no cops to be found, she was trapped and seconds mattered. She had a gun under her car seat. That gun prevented our lives from being another statistic ignored by ignorant Liberals in their quest to make my wife yet another crime victim. Our kids know their mother was saved by a .357 illegally carried under the seat because the stupid state in which we lived didn't allow legal carry. I hope you, your wife or your family never encounter such a situation, but if you do I hope you have a gun. Our family is intact because my wife had a gun and knew how to use it. Dr John Lott's research shows violent crime is inversely proportional to the number of guns available to the law abiding public. Educate yourself.

What if they're just revealing lies so you will sub-consciously open up a blind spot to target easily.

I almost got mugged one time. I heard his voice realized we literally went to school together. I stayed there with him for 15-mins chopping it up. He's a family man now, a lot of these guys just run out of options, or at least they think they have. Best of luck to he interviewee.

[@mohammadhossein641]

before all sorry about my bad English.I've mugged last night and I was about 40feet away from my house where there's a park.I always go there .It was about 10 pm and I was alone. Here is my advice:Never walk or sit in not crowded(I didn't the right word!)places and after being mugged do not blame yourself and it's very normal to be scared to death!Thank you

I grew in a working class tough community near and in Hull and got into scrapes and more all the time from a young age. The best advice is to have situational awareness and a calm confidence. A quiet non confrontational confidence helps a lot as muggers or those who look for victims (a kid out of place in a gangland area) can see and sense this. It helps if you know you can actually back your confidence up if needed. A classic recent example happened as I walked to my car in a car park. I had noticed a person walking behind me a little too close and I immediately sensed his focus was on me. I continued to walk towards my car whilst keeping aware of where this person was (watching shadows, half turning around pretending to scratch my arm). Any mugger that is not stupid will realize you are on to them and that alone may put them off; as a streetwise person is often not an easy victim. In my case I saw him getting closer out of the corner of my eye as I approached my car. I swiftly turned around looked him in the eye and asked him 'are you alright mate!!'. As I did this I was in a good position to fight and was showing no nerves at all. He walked by knowing that he was in for a fight that he did not want with a person who could probably handle themselves. The thing is for most people, basically be aware and plan a way out. If it feels odd it probably is. Oh and as is said in the video if you cannot fight and win then do not even consider violence.
