I wear a small whistle on a lanyard around my neck. Also see if you can wear a fannypack to keep your wallet in. A thief can grab a large purse and cause some real trauma especially if it is on your shoulder. It appears to help as some people think I am "carrying" if I have my fannypack. Keep phone readily accessible in pocket on yourself. Just some advice from an in-law LEO.
 
Lulu45 : And never wear cross body. Definitely can get injured badly! An officer recommended to not wear those.

Wow! Where is this Well Fargo? I do almost all of my banking online and carry very little cash but I'm going to increase my awareness. I think if I have a situation in the future where I am withdrawing cash that I will step into the restroom before leaving the bank and stash the cash in my granny panties. The post doesn't mention where the mugging happened. I wonder if it was after leaving the bank. The banks need to have security surveillance to capture images of suspicious cars or individuals.

sweetie : KW and the people in KW are a target. And this is just the start. This is what becomes of a society when criminals are coddled and not prosecuted and not punished. When kids commit crimes and get out of jail because they are kids. I take no joy in saying, it is only going to get worse.

Happyface : Pretty easy to stop that from happening if you leave the bank and just watch the rear view mirror for a car following them but most people are to busy waiting to get back in their cars to get back on their phones they have zero idea. A little situational awareness goes a long way from not becoming a victim.

sweetie : The James brothers made it popular back in the 1800s and it is still the thing for crooks to do. The bank is where the money is. If you are not going to be careful about your surrounding then do not get cash at the bank and carry it in your hand out to your car, At least put it into your pocket. Better yet go to the drive through and watch to see if someone follows you. I was in retail a lot of years and we had traing classes for our people that had to make bank runs. You can never be too safe.

Texas1965 : I think someone inside the bank lets others know when someone's withdrawn money. This just can't be a coincidence that they happened upon this bank these people are leaving and they rob them. Happens too many times

sweetie : If I were a thief and that is how you need to think to protect yourself. I would sit outside a bank maybe with binoculars and watch who walks out with a large envelope or bag. Then I would just take my luck thay they have cash. This is what I taught my folks that had to handle money. If we had to carry a bank bag then we always went with two people. One stayed outside to watch the people in the area and then let the other person know it was safe to come out. If we did the drive through we took two cars. If someone comes out of the bank with a bag it is a good chance thay have cash. People protect yourself, the police can not be everywhere and the bank will not be at blame. We handled thousands of dollars and never once had a problem.
