Subject: FWD: Worthwhile Warning for Women - No Joke



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 in New Orleans.
If a robber asksfor 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 seatthey 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/policemanto walk you back out.


IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than
dead.)


6. ALWAYS take the elevatorinstead 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 tryingto 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.

************* Here it is *******
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 homesthinking 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 aloneat 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.
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

Very important! AS stated above no joke! If you know of more safety steps please list them (for real). Thanks, and stay safe!

Get a gun
Get training
Practice regularly

A survey of criminals in prison asking what was the thing they feared most when committing a violent crime, the biggest deterrent was that they would attack someone that ended up having a gun. If your state allows concealed carry permits, do it.

melanie S

WOW! Thanks Bill. Anyone else????

First of all, good post, Melanie, I'm not easily scared, but when I read that I do know I should be more careful.

But ouch, I have a very different opinion about guns, Billable. Probably because I grew up in a completely different society, but also because I think that although guns may save a life, it will hurt more than it will save. Why not carry pepperspray or mace or something like that.

cametotalktan

good post, thanks for the reminder

Thanks for the post Melanie! I've read that before in an email somebody sent me. Another good tip, is to keep your car keys on you when you go to bed at night. If you have a panic button on your key chain, and you hear someone trying to get into your house, hit that button and sound the alarm on your car. It might be enough noise to chase off that would be robber.
