This is a huge mistake.

What you are essentially doing is inviting a purse-snatcher to help himself to your property.

Save yourself a lot of heartache by keeping your purse close to you–and leave the unnecessary credit cards at home.

In fact, a 21 year-old woman faces a 1 in 4 chance of having a violent crime committed against her. These crimes can range from purse snatching to car jacking to rape. And then there is domestic violence which affects 1 in 6 households…

So what do criminals want?

• Your property

• Your power

• Or worse
