I just received this e-mail today, pretty timely!
I've heard that kicking out the tail lights in a car does not work (#3), but this might be worth a read.
Stay safe!
After reading these 9 crucial
tips, forward them to someone
you care
about. It never hurts to be
careful in this crazy world we
live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The
elbow is the strongest point
on your body.
If you are close enough to use
it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist
guide in New Orleans. If a
robber asks
for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it
away from
you....chances are that he is
more interested in your wallet
and/or
purse than you, and he will go
for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE
MAD IN THE
OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into
the trunk of a car, kick out
the back
tail lights and stick your arm
out the hole and start waving
like crazy.
The driver won't see you, but
everybody else will. This has
saved
lives.
4. Women have a tendency to
get into their cars after
shopping, eating,
working, etc., and just sit
(doing their checkbook, or
making a list,
etc. DON'T DO THIS!) The
predator will be watching you,
and this is the
perfect opportunity for him to
get in on the passenger side,
put a gun
to your head, and tell you
where to go. AS SOON AS YOU
GET INTO YOUR
CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
a. If someone is in the car
with a gun to your head DO NOT
DRIVE OFF,
repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine and
speed into
anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you. If
the person is
in the back seat they will get
the worst of it. As soon as
the car
crashes bail out and run. It
is better than having them
find your body
in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking
lot, or
parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around
you, look into your car, at
the passenger
side floor, and in the back
seat.
B.) If you are parked next
to a big van, enter your car
from the
passenger door. Most serial
killers attack their victims
by pulling them
into their vans while the
women are attempting to get
into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked
on the driver's side of your
vehicle, and
the passenger side. If a male
is sitting alone in the seat
nearest your
car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and
get a
guard/policeman to walk you
back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE
SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better
paranoid than
dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
(Stairwells are
horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is
especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his
control,
ALWAYS RUN! The predator will
only hit you (a running
target) 4 in 100
times; And even then, it most
likely WILL NOT be a vital
organ. RUN,
Preferably ! in a zig -za! g
patter n!
8. As women, we are always
trying to be sympathetic:
STOP. It may get
you raped, or killed. Ted
Bundy, the serial killer, was
a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS
played on the sympathies of
unsuspecting
women. He walked with a cane,
or a limp, and often asked
"for help" into
his vehicle or with his
vehicle, which is when he
abducted his next
victim.

9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her
friend heard a
crying baby on her porch the
night before last, and she
called the
police because it was late and
she thought it was weird. The
police told
her "Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door."
The lady then said that it
sounded like the baby had
crawled near a
window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the
street and get
run over. The policeman said,
"We already have a unit on the
way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open
the door." He told her that
they think a
serial killer has a baby's cry
recorded and uses it to coax
women out of
their homes thinking that
someone dropped off a baby. He
said they have
not verified it, but have had
several calls by women saying
that they
hear baby's cries outside
their doors when they're home
alone at night.
Please pass this on and DO
NOT open the door for a crying
baby
----This e-mail should
probably be taken seriously
because the Crying
Baby theory was mentioned on
America's Most Wanted this
past Saturday
when they profiled the serial
killer in Louisiana.
I'd like you to forward this
to all the women you know. It
may save a
life. I was going to send
this to the ladies only, but
guys, if you
love your mothers, wives, s!
isters, daughters, etc., you
may want to
pass it onto them, as well.
Send this to any woman you
know that may need to be
reminded that the
world we live in has a lot of
crazies in it and it's better
to be safe
than sorry.
