Moving cash or valuables is safest when it is unpredictable and discreet. Avoid fixed times and routes, do not advertise what you are carrying, use more than one person, keep a communication check-in and consider an escort for larger values. Plan the handover at both ends as carefully as the journey.
Key takeaways
- Vary the time and route.
- Do not advertise the contents.
- Never move high values alone.
- Plan both ends of the trip.
