Good Advice to Pass to Folks

Because of recent abductions​

In daylight hours, refresh yourself​

of these things to do​

in an emergency situation...​

This is for you,​

and for you to share​

with your wife,​

your children,​

everyone you know.​

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.​

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 chequebook, 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..

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 -zag pattern!​

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.​

​

10. Water scam!​

If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your
outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!​

Please pass this on​

This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because​

the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on​

America 's Most Wanted 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.. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..​

I was going to send this to the ladies only,​

but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters,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..​

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life​

 

hmm, some of those are good to think about, others, well are probably just urban myths (crying baby one, snopes says is false but they've been wrong before).

Just really more of a "need to keep your safety at the front of your mind, not an after thought".

As an example. Yesterday, 4:00pm, sunny day, Sams Club parking lot. My wife was putting groceries into the van when she heard a scream. She looked and saw a lady falling off of a vehicle that she was pushed onto when 2 thugs took her purse. While my wife (who, BTW was armed at the time) assisted the lady who was mugged another couple used their car to block in the muggers and demand they return the purse. Since the muggers were teenage punks, and the guy that standing at the window of their car was bigger than both combined (according to the wife) they compiled then took off. Both thugs were later arrested.

I will also say this, I used to help teach a S.H.A.R.P class (Sexual Harassment, Assault, and Rape Prevention). We used to stress that people keep their heads on a swivel when loading their vehicles after shopping, as this is when a lot of people are attacked. The normal person, when loading items in to the back seat of the car will bend at the waist and have their head and upper body enter the vehicle. When the come out to get the next load, that's when the bad guy will be standing next to you.

Eyes are a week point, do what you can to get your fingers or keys into the attackers eyes if you are close enough.

Ladys - don't automatically assume a knee to the groin will stop a man. We've been practicing since early childhood to protect that area, and quit frankly it just doesn't work on some guys.

If you are thown into a trunk of a car, knocking out the lights is not always an option, don't assume it is. Look at your vehicle. Do you have access to the taillights? In my Saturn all I could do was remove a bulb, not knock out the whole thing. Also, many of the newer vehicles have an internal trunk release, does yours? Again, my Saturn did not, but the newer models did, and it glowed in the dark. If you have no way of escape from your trunk, do you have water available to dink? Just throw a bottle of water in there and let it roll around, the outside may look nasty, but that water can save your life.

Ok, I'm done rambling on, I can post more tips later, if anyone is interested, but hopefully you've all heard them before

 

snopes is far from being an ultimate debunking source. look into the background of those who run snopes. me thinks they have an agenda. JMHO of course.
.
the safety tips given are all good. I am forwarding to all in my address book.

 

Good tips,some may need revised due to region and situation but a decent awareness point.
