• Huwag Maging Biktima ng Akyat Bahay atbp.
• Huwag Maging Biktima ng Karnapping

Robbery is committed by any person, who with intent to gain, shall take any personal property belonging to another, by means of violence against or intimidation of any person, or using force upon anything shall be guilty of robbery (Art. 293, RPC)

Theft is committed by any person who, with intent to gain but without violence or intimidation of persons nor force upon things, shall take personal property of another without the latter \rquote s consent (Art. 204, RPC). 

Through the years, the most common forms of robbery and theft have developed their own unique names that depict the means by which they are committed. Among them are the following: 

Akyat Bahay

Ang AKYAT BAHAY ang pinaka-karaniwang na pamamaraan ng nakawan sa Pili pinas. Kadalasang isinasagawa ng may tatlo hangang lima kataong grupo. Ang mga nagiging biktima ay bahayang pansamantalang iniwan ng may-ari upang magbakasyon o kaya naman ay nasa trabaho. May mga pangyayari din na kahit nasa loob ang mga nakatira ay nin anakawan pa rin dahil sa kakulangan ng pisikal na depensa. Dis-oras ng gabi lalo na king natataong malakas ang ulan o kaya naman ay " brown-out" . Mga alahas at kasangkapang pang-bahay ang karaniwang tinatangay ng mga magnanakaw. May ilang pangyayari na kung saan ang mga magnanakaw ay may dala-dalang sasakyan upang pag-lulalan ng mga ninakaw na kasangkapan. 

Salisi

Ang karaniwang nasasalisihan ay mga tindahan, tahanan, maging mga opisina na kung saan ang bantay o nagmamayari ay pansamantalang nabaling sa ibang bagay. Sa pagkakataong ito mabilis na isinasakatuparan ang pagnanakaw at alinmang bagay na may halaga at mabilis na maitatago o madadala ay ninanakaw. "Nasalisihan", ika nga. 

Bukas Kotse 

 

 
 
 
 
 

Karamihang nagaganap sa mga paradahang walang nagbabantay. May mga insidente ring nangyayari kahit na sa mga "pay parking areas" . Sa mga sanay na sa ganitong krimen, ilang segundo lamang ang kinakailangan para mabuksan ang sasakyan. Lahat na mahahalagang bagay sa loob ay kinukuha. May mga pagkakataon rin na kung s aan ang sasakyang pilit nabuksan ay pinapaandar papunta sa ibang lugar upang doon "kahoyan" ng gulong, stereo, mga ilaw, upuan, at iba pang mga bagay na maaring tangalin. Kung minsan, nauwi sa ""carnapping"" ang insidente. 

Carnapping

 

 
 
 
 
 

Ang "carnapping" ay mabilisan ang pagsasagawa. Kadalasan, 20 -30 segundo lamang ang kinakailangan para ma-carnap. Maaring marahas ang insidente. May mga driver na sinasaktan o kaya naman ay napapatay habang inaagaw ang sasakyan. Karamihan ng carnappers ay armado ng baril o kaya ay patalim. Ang iba pang mga "modus operandi" ay kinabibilangan ng mga sumusunod: Mga "minor" na "traffic accident", kunwa'y nabungo sa hulihan. Kapag lumabas ang driver upang tingnan, mabilis na tinututukan ng suspek ng baril o kaya ay patalim at sabay kinukuha ang sasakyan. Sa mga "stop lights". Ang suspek ay lalapit sa driver na nakatutok ang baril kasabay ang utos na lumabas. Sa mga parking spaces. Bigla na lang haharangan ang iyong sasakyan at isang suspek ang lalapit na may armas at palalabasi n ka sa sasakyan. O kaya naman, ang mga suspek ay nakatayo lamang sa paligid at inaantay ang iyong pag-pasok o paglabas sa iyong sasakyan. 
 

Dugo-dugo

 

 
 
 
 
 

Ito ang tawag sa mga insidente na kung saan ang suspek ay tatawag sa telepono o kaya naman ay persona l na pupunta sa bahay at nagpapanggap na kamag-anak o kaibigan ng isang miyembro ng pamilya na ayon sa kanya ay nadisgrasya at kinakailangan ng pera o alahas para maipagamot.. Kadalasan katulong ang nakakatanggap ng tawag na sa takot o pagkalito ay agad i binibigay ang hiling ng suspek. 

Budol-budol

 

 
 
 
 
 

Isang halimbawa ng budol budol ay nangyayari sa mga transaksyon ng bayaran. May perang totoo subalit ang karamihan ay mga perang peke na. Isa pang halimbawa ay sa mga bentahan ng ginto. Ang ipapakitang sampl e ay tunay subalit ang iba o ang karamihan ay pawang mga peke na. 

Ipit-Taxi

 

 
 
 
 
 

Kadalasang mga nabibiktima ay mga kababaihan. Pagkasakay ng taxi sa hindi kalayuan, may mga suspek na bigla na lang sasakay at pgigitnaan ang biktima. Hold-up na at ang pera, alahas, at iba pang mahahalagang dala ay kinukuha ng mga suspek. 

Before a crime can occur three elements of the Crime Triangle must be present, they are: DESIRE; ABILITY; and OPPORTUNITY

The public and its law enforcement officials can not do much about a person's desire or ability to commit a crime, but if we take away the criminal's opportunity then the crime can be avoided. Learn to recognize Hazards/Circumstances that should be avoided. Taking basic precautions during everyday activities can reducethe vulnerability to crimes against you. 

REMEMBER, he who does nothing to prevent crime encourages it! If you get into the habit of not giving people opportunities to commit crimes, you will develop your own safety patterns. 

SA LOOB NG TAHANAN

1. Close blinds and curtains at night so that a burglar can't scope your belongings.
2. Lock all doors and windows before leaving.
3. Lock windows so that they can't be opened from the outside. If they can't be locked, you can pin them by drilling a hole through both window frames and inserting a bolt or metal pin. The pin must be easily removable for emergency situations. 
4. Home burglar alarm systems are a great deterrent. Even if you have an alarm system, don't neglect the other security measures available to you. An alarm provides an extra layer of security, but is no replacement for good common sense. Alarm owners should still do what they can to make sure their home is not an attractive target for thieves. 

1. Use timers to maintain normal lighting patterns. 
2. Leave a radio on when you are away from your home for short periods of time. 

1. Consider marking your valuables indelibly (engrave) with identification markings.
2. Take an inventory of your home with a video tape and/or photographs. 
3. Keep jewellery and negotiables in a safety deposit box or in an unlikely place (i.e. Not your bedroom). 

SA LABAS NG TAHANAN

1. Keep your shrubbery cut back so that it doesn't block windows and doors. 
2. Secure window air conditioners from the inside. 
3. Illuminate as much of your property as possible.
4. Exterior doors should be solid, not hollow. Metal doors provide the best protection against forced entry. 
5. Use a fencing style that would not conceal a burglar's activities. Remember if you can't see out, others can't see in. 
6. Install deadbolt locks. 
7. Dogs are great deterrents to burglars. Even a strategically placed "Beware of Dog" sticker can make a burglar think twice. Of course, vicious dogs are never a good idea. A dog that barks is better than one that bites. 
8. Place hinged security bars over basement windows. Remember to keep the key nearby for emergency exits.
9. Ensure that a burglar cannot access the roof from high trees or a ladder left outside. 

1. All doors that lead to the outside should be metal or solid-core. 
2. Each door should fit in its frame with no more than 1/8 inch clearance between the door and frame. A metal lining on the inside of an exterior door can prevent drilling, sawing, or kicking through. 
3. Make sure all doors to the outside have good locks. Make sure locks are also installed on screen doors, garage doors, cellar doors, patio doors, and any other door that leads to the outside.
4. Always use the locks you have, on both your home and your garage. Lock up every time you go out, even if it's only for a few minutes. 
5. Locks on doors should be placed at least 40 inches away from windows, glass panels, and other potential openings such as mail slots. Make it hard for a burglar to reach in and unlock your door. 
6. Door hinges should always be on the inside and designed so that hinge pin cannot be removed from the outside. 
7. Never hide keys outside, such as under a bush or in a flower pot. 
8. Don't place identification tags on your keys or key rings; if you lose them, you give potential burglars help.
9. Secure sliding glass doors with commercially available bars or locks.
10. Secure roof openings and exhaust systems. 
11. Make sure windows, especially those at ground level, have good locks.

1. Make sure all porches and other possible entrances are well lit, with at least 40-watt bulbs. A well-lit house is far better protected than a house without lights. 
2. Overgrown bushes, tree limbs, or landscaping can provide cover for burglars. Trim them to the height of porches or windows.

KAPAG MAGBABAKASYON ANG BUONG SAMBAHAYAN

1. Cancel all deliveries during the time you will be away. 
2. Maintain normal lighting patterns by using electronic timers. 
3. Leave a radio on, with a timer if necessary to simulate normal use. 
4. Ask a neighbor to park in your driveway. 
5. Don't talk about your vacation plans with strangers or service people. 

1. that you will be away. 
2. how long you will be absent. 
3. whether or not you will have a house-sitter. 
4. the number where you can be reached. 

1. Lock doors and windows. Offenders often enter your vehicle through open doors and windows. 
2. Leave room between you and the car in front of you when stopped at a red light. This will make it possible for you to drive off should someone attempt a "carnapping". 
3. Look around you, especially to the sides and the rear through your mirrors. It is very important to look alert. Carnappers look for victims that give the appearance of not paying attention. Don't give them the edge.
4. Trust no one standing in the roadway - newspaper sellers, windshield washing people, persons collecting for charities, or beggars. It's for your own safety. 
5. Keep your car and house keys separate.You don't want to give the "carnapper" your house keys if possible. 
6. Park your car in a well-lit area.Avoid parking next to large vans. Look for anyone hang ing around, or someone who seems to pace their walk to arrive at your parking space just as you are exiting your vehicle. If you become suspicious, move on to another parking space or just leave the area and call the police as soon as possible. 
7. Keep your car keys out when walking to your car. If you have the feeling that something is wrong, don't hesitate to run back to where you came from to get help or have someone walk you back to your car. If you're in a shopping mall, contact the security office and ask them to escort you to your vehicle. 
8. Keep your packages and your purse on the floor of your car rather than on the seat where they are more visible. 
9. If you're involved in a minor fender bender in a secluded location, instead of getting out right of way, motion to the other driver to follow you to the Police Station, Fire Station, an open business or any other location that you feel secure . Be sure you get the other persons license plate number and make the police report out. 
10. Consider investing in a cellular phone.You can call for help anytime you need it. 
11. There are no absolute rules for what to do in a "carnapping". The only rule you should have is to make it through the ordeal safely and without injury. That means give up the car and get to safety. Your vehicle can be replaced, but you can not. As you get away from the "carnapper", make a mental note of his description and of his getaway route. 
12. Many car owners, because of carelessness and unconcerned behavior, invite thieves to steal their car. The chances of having your car stolen are greatly minimized by simply removing the opportunity through a few precautionary measures. If your car is too much trouble to steal, a thief will look for another car. Here are some simple steps to take that will make your car harder to steal. 

PARKING YOUR VEHICLE 

1. ALWAYS take the key out of the ignition, roll the windows up tight and lock the doors whenever you park your vehicle, even if only for a minute. 
2. NEVER leave your motor running without you in it. It's unsafe, and it's a traffic violation. 
3. Park in a well-lighted, busy spot if possible. A car thief would rather work where he is not seen. Check your car from time to time. 
4. If you have a garage, use it! Lock both your car and the garage. If you don't have a garage, park in a driveway instead of the street, if possible. 
5. When you park in an attended lot, leave only the ignition key. Don't give the attendant a full set of keys or any key on which a key code appears . Either invites key copying. If you leave your house key, your home may become a target of a future burglary. Be sure to take the claim check with you to prevent a thief from using it to drive your car out of the lot. 
6. Never hide spare keys in a secret pl ace or in a magnetic key box under the hood or other accessible places. Car thieves routinely check the visors and ash tray and look under the floor mats. If you feel better with spare keys close at hand, then carry them with you.
7. After parking your car, set the emergency brake and put the car in "park," or in gear if it has a manual transmission. To make it difficult for a thief to illegally tow your car, turn the steering wheel sharply to the left or right and remove the key to lock the steering column. 

ALARMS AND AUTO THEFT DETERRENCE SYSTEMS 

1. Tapered door lock buttons, to keep thieves from using coat hangers to open your car doors from the inside. 
2. High-security ignition locks, which normally go around the steering column housing (sometimes these are known as "cuff locks"). 
3. A "cane" or "J-bend" lock, which normally hooks up the steering wheel and the brake pedal. 
4. External and internal hood locks. These protect the battery from being stolen too. 

1. An ignition kill device, which interferes with the ignition system even if the car is "hot-wired." 
2. A fuel cutoff device, which shuts off the fuel after running for a few seconds. All of these devices can be hidden. Install the best type of alarm that you can afford (silent alarms, sound discriminators, motion detectors, and computerized tracking transmittersare among the high-end devices now available).Be sure to advise potential thieves that you have an alarm by placing warning stickers on your windows or windshields. 

Other Tips

1. DON'T keep the car's title in the glove compartment; keep it at home. This will prevent a thief from using the title to "prove" he owns the car. 
2. Don't keep anything of value in your glove compartment -- and, therefore, don't lock your glove compartment. Otherwise, some inquisitive thief may break it open to see what's inside.
3. Put packages and valuables out of sight, in the trunk. These include such items as cellular phones, calculators, CB radios, tape decks, expensive sports equipment and clothing.
4. Use discretion if you see someone tampering with your car. Don't begin a fight with anyone, especially in a secluded area.
