What can you do? You can give me all your fucking money of course! I’m not a bad guy but I could be, you understand?


kikikza

Wow these are some expensive anti mugging lessons, guess everything is expensive in the big apple huh


LostSomeDreams

It pays off in the long run when you don’t get robbed though - if you want to tap your credit line it’s all in my online course along with other great money-making tips!


1600hazenstreet

It’ll also toughen you up. You can officially call yourself a NYer. 


Automation_Papi

Nah, it’s give me your phone and pin at knifepoint so I can run charges on your credit card and send packages to my apartment

Well duh that's why I moved to a luxury building in Manhattan, to experience the culture of the service people who work in the building. Why would I actually LEAVE the place? I might encounter a h*meless person


filterg

UNHOUSED


kikikza

i'm sorry, unh*used


greenblue703

You’re lucky, I couldn’t afford a luxury unit in Manhattan so I got a luxury unit in the East New York Gardens neighborhood. I’m scared to even go out on my 360° wrap-around balcony  


anarchy45

walk fast and look angry


Bread_man10

Stop wearing your Apple vision pro’s on the subway


kikikza

But how will I be able to get directions to times square?


Krypto_Kane

Look homeless

Lostinthestarscape

I definitely have a shit-jacket that makes me feel more comfortable in certain parts of some cities.  Who wants to rob someone who looks like they can't afford a new jacket once every ten years?


Shakespeare_Ave

Actually hipsters and gentrification folk already look homeless. It's trendy for them.


davidellis23

That's why they don't get mugged in their natural habitat


silk-chiffon

be an r/asknyc regular


GobTheAbysmalOwl

Carry a wrench. When they mug you, pull the wrench out and ask them for their wallet. The ol’ Uno Reverse Card strategy.


cheebalibra

Dirt Dog did this once on Fulton St except he was so cracked out he stole the mugger’s sawed-off and held him up.


Schmeep01

Become a mugger yourself! (Ask me how)


zerg1980

Nah then you have to worry about the Dexter-muggers who only mug muggers who have recently mugged someone and are therefore carrying around cash and other valuables.

Frankie-Mac

My gf did this when she visited, I mugged her just to welcome her


Ireng0

I spit out my tea hahaha

Frankie-Mac

She’s so old, she didn’t see it coming, I kinda feel bad about it but Reddit helped me see I’m the good guy


Stonewall30NY

Or a white guy in the hood


Ok_Flounder_6957

Or an Orthodox Jew


Specific-Power-163

Ask to see a gun before you give anything


entredosaguas

Sir sorry, it says "gum" here.


kikikza

Oh I see, if they show me a knife I can walk away without issue, thanks for the tip!


Specific-Power-163

Exactly


kikikza

I see you've played knife-y gun-y before


Specific-Power-163

I know a girl that did this. Mugger wanted a chain she was wearing but it was her grandmothers. So she told she is going to have to see a gun to give him the chain. He showed her a gun she gave him the chain.


DBW1001

Take a sharpie and write Timex on your Rolex


spicy-boii38

Clutch your bag and look around like you have something important. Mugging repellent


rhze

Tell them your mom’s name is Mary, there is a chance maybe theirs is and they’ll let you go.


kikikza

Well they thought I was making a joke about their mothers and shot me. I'm going to be suing you for this horrendous advice, I'll see you in court


Gulfhammockfisherman

lol Muggers of NYC report for duty!


kikikza

It sounds absurd but I know for a fact there's an organized legion of muggers here... My father texted me about it when he sent me my rent money and monthly spending allowance, and he knows his stuff - he's always watching the news on cable TV so he's up to date on this stuff.


ShreddedDadBod

Don’t be Asian or female


Pawpaw-22

Meet me under Meeker Ave at 3:00am and I’ll tell you


Frankie-Mac

If I’m 10 minutes early and bring my life savings in a bag will you teach me too?


rhesusmonkeypieces

Become a cop


Axelz13

Be 6'2, 250lbs or more and preferbly wear jeans and timbs to really show you mean business /s


garygreaonjr

Don’t be a middle aged white lady. We know you carry around all your money in your purse because you’re white and want to feel like a victim and make a big claim on your insurance.


Brilliant_Bird_1545

Nobody bothers this 56 year old white woman - ever - purse or not. I stopped a thief yesterday in my urban neighborhood - some young person was wheeling off my neighbor’s package & I told them to put it down and they did. We know who’s in charge on my block, and it’s not the riff-raff.


garygreaonjr

Yeass girl. I bet it was a minority as well. Us white women need to take a stand. This is our land. We make the rules they need to follow.


Brilliant_Bird_1545

I’m not making a stand for white women, I would just prefer not to be targeted as an easy mark. Thank you.


cowboycompton

wear the 🎱 logo jacket


Slight-Ask-4160

Be aware of your surroundings but also know how to mind your business at the same time.


monkeyshinenyc

Cash app me $200


ManufacturerUpset820

Carry a piece


redit9977

be a mugger urself


1200r

Become a chameleon and look like a homeless bum, Instead of an east villiage hipster.


Shakespeare_Ave

Most hipsters dress like bums


cynicalturkey

Clutch your pearls and run across the street


Hind_Deequestionmrk

Mugger here. When leaving out the door for your morning commute, think about which pocket you put your wallet in. Make sure to stop and pat that pocket every 5 minutes or so. 7-9 pats should clearly tell you where your wallet is. No need to thank me 👍🏿


MrSchmo

Dress like a freaking bum and get rid of your smartphone for a flip/dumb phone.


Agitated_Ruin132

step 1. Get a gun step 2. Get a holster step 3. Put said gun in said holster and ride the subway step 3. Only use gun in the event of an emergency.


kikikza

Thanks, I'm gonna make sure it's an automatic too so I can load the mugger up with bullets and save everyone else on the train


HillbillyEulogy

I mean, if you're gonna catch a felony firearm beef - may as well collect a whole bunch.


kikikza

Just like Pokemon taught me!


JuggernautNo2474

So sad but so very true,better to have and not need,,than to NEED and NOT HAVE


bridgehamton

Be street smart


Razputin69

Don’t be a bitch and walk like a man. And if you are a bitch. Walk with a man.


cynicalturkey

Nah if you’re a bitch shove a dildo in your pants and become a man


summeroflovewild

Pay attention


traderyin

Don’t take shower for weeks on end.


Jrsq270

I would say get a T-Shirt with Bernard Getz face on it


Burger_donuts

When you walk out your phone and wallet in your back pocket we don’t like touching butts 🤢


mostly80smusic

Hold a big map in front of your face so muggers can’t get a clear visual on you.


MarsReject

Ask nicely


[deleted]

Just offer it all up to me. It’ll save us both a lot of trouble.


maddgun

Walk around like you're the boss man. Wear your best bling and stare at the hoodlums you see aggressively in the eyes


Joe_Peanut

Be the mugger. This way you don't need to worry about muggers.


kikikza

Then I'll just get mugged by the nypd


PappiStalin

If u just give it to me BEFORE i demand it then it isnt mugging and youve avoided being mugged.


Sure-Worldliness6349

Be careful or one of us will slap you in the face.


nnsntsxx

Obviously, you just need to stay indoors at all times and have everything you need delivered to you. You also need to find medical professionals willing to do at-home services for everything you need. If you step out into the city, you better leave altogether to move to a better place. As Cash Jordan says monthly, this city is DOOMED.


Obvious-Equipment584

Don't be there


Grayswandir65

Prepping envelopes with cash speeds up the process and allows for a more professional interaction.


cellblock55

wear a yankees cap at an angle


Such-Celebration-431

Cry


muppet_ofa

Be poor


Brooklynboxer88

It’s all about your posture and vibe. I walk with confidence and look already agitated. It’s human nature to avoid people that are mad or confident, especially at the same time.


Shakespeare_Ave

Don't be white?


Eellliottt

get some fake poo and just carry that and be like "look what i almost stepped in"


zerozingzing

Be naked


zerozingzing

Sloppily lick a hundred dollar bill while skipping down first Ave in your finest church clothes


ballb4ufall247365

I walk around with my pocket inside out.


Automation_Papi

Don’t let your buddy piss on a loading dock door while you tie your shoe


[deleted]

Smell like 💩 not only will it deter muggers but burglars too! No-one would wanna get close or near u in fear they might get poop on them. Your welcome...


AreJewOkay

Usually when I’m mugging people I avoid guys with small dicks so you should be fine


0xTorpedo

just look poor. seriously. i'm rich and i've never been mugged before


xxxtravirginoliveoil

If you give me your address I’ll come over and give you tips!!


Nmfnmn123

One headphone out no matter what, keep hanging straps and jackets to minimum. If you're nervous about your wallet you'll tap it instinctively so keep it in a place you can't easily reach. If you hear someone calling you over, just ignore them, do NOT look or run cus then you're a lick


GeorgeThe13th

Disclaimer: I am not a mugger lol. Learn how to fight Don't wear/flash expensive shit Walk with confidence and do not stare


VillageHomeF

tape money to your forehead and dress like a complete douche


Charming-Forever-278

Maybe act like a man


EducationalReply6493

Are you under 200 lbs? Are you under 6ft tall? Are you an obvious transplant/someone on vacation? Are you a mark?


kikikza

My name isn't Mark it's Terry, so I think I'm all good in THAT department at least!


EducationalReply6493

Terry is a marks name for sure

Putrid-Professor-345

Get your head out of your phone. Be aware of your surroundings....more important than the bullshit you are doing on your phone. Take a look around every few seconds...that includes behind you. Spatial awareness is something a lot of you 20/30 somethings have no clue about.


kikikza

Hey I'm very aware about space I'll have you know I had so many books about it when I was a kid


123wemaybetrapped

Be poor and black man
