Please take the time to read this. It may save your life.
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. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it awayfrom you.... chances are that he is more interested in your walletand/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 backtail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving likecrazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This hassaved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, ormaking a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watchingyou, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on thepassenger 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.
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 thepassenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims bypulling them into their vans while the women are attempting toget into their cars.c. Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, andthe passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seatnearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, andget a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTERTO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.(Stairwells arehorrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYSRUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; Andeven then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may getyou raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was agood-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathiesof 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 abductedhis next victim.
