10 Tips to Help Yourself Stay Safe...


Received this by email today and think it's worth sharing here:
Even if you have seen this before, it is a good reminder.


Written by a Cop for Our Own Safety

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.
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..

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. 
This has saved lives.
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 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 blast so that you will 
go out to investigate and then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for 
your neighbors!
A candle is not dimmed by lighting 
another candle..
