3 hr ago Someone got mugged coming out of Wells Fargo. They had

teatime : Dang it. I am going to have to start wearing underwear. Ordering granny panned right now!

sweetie : It is happening anywhere there are banks. We are just reading about it in Kingwood due to living in Kingwood. According to the police it is a wide spread issue. I make it a point to drive around if anyone is behind me. I wont go directly home if I feel like I may be being followed....
Can't be too careful anywhere anymore.

GoldenGirl : No you can just never be too careful these days. It just seems like in Kingwood it's becoming more common. I was shocked the first time I heard it from Ruger5 when she was a victim and now I'm really not that shocked when I hear it over and over again here in Kingwood

sweetie : It's a nationwide crime wave and we all know who to thank.

4 pages and no one is talking about situational awareness. This should NEVER happen to anyone. But EVERYONE can certainly do their part and keep their head on swivel.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Thank you for the tips

BillandMisty : Guess I need to be extra careful since mine is expired!

luv2eatsushi : Multiple people spoke of situational awareness. Those very words appear in the post from TexasTideFan.

100 credits sent!
Gingersnap tipped sweetie 100 credits for a post in this forum discussion.

I was mugged 8 years ago going into a restaurant in the middle of the day carrying my son in his baby carrier. I don't even carry a purse anymore. I have a phone case that has my ID and 2 cc in it. I never carry cash or my debit card.
People like to say what they would do if that happened to them but until you're in that situation you can't really understand. When people say "it all really happened so fast" they mean it.

MrsTfromADC : I agree completely. You can be aware all you want, but that doesn't guarantee a criminal not getting what they are after.

Scary, to say the least! Some people think because one lives in Kingwood they must have money. Reality is, we are just hard working people. Shame on them!

mutton : Right! Those purse straps are stronger than we think.

luv2eatsushi : Yes, awareness of your surroundings is very important.
