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.

Most cars these days have a safety latch on the inside of the trunk so you
can't be locked in. Doesn't help if you can't reach it or if the car is
an
older model.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,
eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their cheque book, or
making a list, etc

We do?! That's funny, the first thing I do when I get in my car is lock
the
door, start the engine, put on my seat belt and drive off. I've never sat
in my car doing the things described above.

5 . A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or
parking garage:

A.) Be awa look around you, look into your car, at the passenger
side floor , and in the back seat.

True.

B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the
passenger door.

I never purposely park next to a van (or a big truck). This is definitely
something to be cautious about. Never fails I'll come out of a store and
find myself hemmed in by one or the other, though.

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.

A good tip. A guard or policeman may not be around but you may want to
ask
a store employee (like the "bag boy" at the grocery store) to walk out
with
you. There's safety in numbers.

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP...It may
get you raped, or killed.

Most people here will tell you, I'm not all that sympathetic LOL

Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man,
who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.

True. Most of his victims were college girls, often around college
campuses. It IS important to tell young, impressionable women to exercise
a
lot of caution. Travel in packs (so to speak) when possible.

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.

I'll hit him with my cane

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.'

Not true. MG posted the link to snopes dispelling this myth.

Jill



So, if one part, about the baby crying is untrue, Jill, Does it make the
rest of the things to be treated the same way?, as bad advice?

It sounds pretty good advice to me, the rest of it then, don't you think
so?.....

I am not 'trying' to score points by posting this, that a friend sent me...
SO, one part is not true, so what?, Ignore the rest?..By all means do, at
your own peril then!
