What to do during an armed-robbery

Try to stay calm. Don't make any sudden movements to upset the robber.
-
Do exactly as you are told. DO NOT RESIST!

Tell the robber about anything that might surprise him, such as
someone who is expected to arrive soon.
-
If you have to move or reach, tell the robber what you are going to do
and why.
-
Try to get a good look at the robber so you can describe him later.
-
Don't be a hero. It's better to lose your money than your life.

Give the robber time to leave.

Try to get a description of his vehicle ONLY if you can do so without
exposing yourself to harm.
