Ml"'., Hie words stall, dip and duke take on new meaning to people who learn what these terms mean in the argot of criminals. By knowing them and taking other steps that will make a thief come to grief you can avoid being a soft touch for pickpockets. A stall, in underworld is a style, pickpockets assistant who diverts the attention of the victim while the perpetrator is preying upon him. Dips, with whom society must come to grips, are the pickpockets themselves. And dukes, which deserve strong rebukes, are acts of handing an object to one person such as a child and asking payment from another such as a parent. There are other ways, besides knowledge of criminal techniques, to become deft at preventing theft. One is by carrying as little cash as possible. This appears to be the lifestyle being adopted by more than 60 million Americans who use plastic money that is some form of charge card. It recently became more feasible when more practical with increased service available by using allpurpose cards such as Master Charge. In some cities, for example, you can use the card for everything from a taxi ride to h taxidermist. The diversified use of the card and available services indicates that were trending toward a cashless society, according to Robert Dodge, Vice President for Security of the Interbank Card Association, an organization of banks offering Master Charge. Because of present sociological conditions, it 'is certainly advantageous to carry as little cash as possible. Dodge, who was interviewed as the nation took notice of National Crime Prevention Week, says that neighborhood1 mugging, one of the most common offenses, is often done by d persons. But when this type of criminal approaches a victim and the victim is without cash, usually the perpetrator will tend to drug-oriente- leave. So become conversant with these pickpocket-preventio- n methods, carry as little cash as Congress passed legislation possible, and youll be likely to limiting cardholder liability up go about your business on an to $50. And its becoming accost-fre- e basis. th |
