Gingersnap Thank you for the tips

sweetie : Not at all. If I need cash I will get a little at a time from a Walmart or something of that kind using my debit card. I will get a little at a time or if I need a larger sum I go to the bank and stick the cash in my pocket then as I am leaving I slow down and maybe stop down the street to see if anyone came out right after me. Also at the bank I try to make sure no one is around to see how much I withdrew. My wife and I use credit cards for almost everything now so we do not need a large amount of cash. The thieves are looking for the easiest person with the most money. In an envelope in their hand.

sweetie: I don't know if anyone else said it, but she did say they followed her home and took it from her there.

purpleflowers : Oh ok . That's even more scarier that they now know where she lives. OMG. Thank you for the correction

This is part of why I use an online bank. Virtually all deposits (checks) are made using their app. Cash, unless it's ALOT, I just hold onto.I don't use cash alot anymore, but when I do, I usually get cash back at a grocery store, or sometimes use the ATM in a grocery or convenience store.It also helps to be armed. A gun won't make you invincible by any means, but it can even the odds a bit

Lulu45 : Why don't you actually carry?

sweetie : yikes! Ill pray for the victims, the economy recently has been rocky, hopefully they're able to recover. Stay safe everyone.
