Technology records what happened. A trained person stops it happening. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Vary the time and route. - Do not advertise the contents. - Never move high values alone. Quick answer 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.
