Always keep a photocopy of the cards and IDs in
your wallet. That way, if it's ever stolen, or lost, you'll not only know
everything you lost, but also your ID numbers, as well as important numbers
to call.
++
If you need to leave your car in an area
where you think it might get stolen, remove some small but vital part
like the fuse for the fuel pump.

Open a bank account, put a hundred dollars
in it. Then put the atm card in a box somewhere. Having a hundred dollars
that no one knows about could save your life.
++
Go to a shooting range and learn how to load
and fire a pistol and a shotgun. Even if you are vehemently opposed to
firearms, knowing how they work won't kill you. It will cost around 50
bucks to rent the guns and then buy some ammo.
++
If you or someone you know gets mugged, has
their purse snatched, whatever, if you look around in dumpsters and trash
cans within the next block or two you'll probably find the wallet/purse.
It won't have any cash in it (and maybe not any credit cards), but at
least you won't have to replace your driver's license, ID cards, library
cards, whatever, which is 99% of the pain in the neck about being robbed
(aside from the victimization thing).
++
I've heard that
keeping a second, cheapo wallet with a few twenties in it is good for
muggers. "Give me your wallet!" and you hand them the crappy wallet. Meanwhile,
your good wallet with all the stuff and, in fact, most of your money is
safe in some non-obvious spot.

If you're ever
going through a bad neighborhood on a bus, don't sit in the back. You'll
be more susceptible to robbery.
