Her advice: don't carry any sensitive documents you don’t need on a regular basis, like a passport.
Flying into damage control immediately after her robbery helped Amy Livingston avert a potential worst-case scenario.
In June 2018, in a quiet residential neighborhood on the south side of Highland Park, N.J., a teenager snatched the bag hanging from her left shoulder. “He looked young and he looked scared,” Livingston said. She believed she was dealing with amateurs rather than “hardened” criminals. “I was frustrated by the whole incident, and I was frustrated with myself, because I thought, ‘Why wasn’t I paying attention? Why wasn’t I holding on better?’ As if I could have really done anything about it.
She did, however, detail the contents of her stolen purse to police: Her wallet, which contained $60 to $80 in cash, her driver’s license and registration, credit and debit cards, and a key to the safe-deposit box that housed documents like her house deed and marriage certificate. She spent about $400 and up to 30 hours in the subsequent days, weeks and months, including buying replacement items, to rectify the situation. After she gave her statement, a detective drove her through town in an attempt to find the scene of the crime. He eventually gave her his card and dropped her off at her house, which she was able to enter with a spare key.
It took Livingston about a week to replace personal documents she immediately needed, and a couple of months to replace all of the items she had lost. All told, Livingston says she spent about $400 and up to 30 hours in the subsequent days, weeks and months, including buying replacement items, to rectify the situation.
Livingston says she never imagined she would be the victim of a “strong-arm robbery with injury,” as police would term the incident, in Highland Park, her home of 15 years.
