I got this email today from my sister in law-

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 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.


BE SAFE PEOPLE.

And I shall add a bit of advice too.

If you have the money, and your state (48 of 50 do) has concealed carry permits, GET ONE. A punch doesn't mean much to someone that wants to harm you, but staring down a gun barrel gets the point across, and puts the attacker in prison. If you ever run into a situation where you need your pistol, and don't have it, you chances are won't regret it. You will probably die, instead of the scumbag that killed you.

Oh, the American way.

Let's buy guns and ammo!!!!!

ARGHHHHH!!!!

What's bad about guns and ammo? Good magazine

I would also like to add

1. Carry a personal alarm, not a whistle.
2. Scream FIRE or BOMB, but DO NOT yell HELP.
3. Carry Bianca or small perfume spray; keep it on your person and AIM FOR THE EYES!
4. DO NOT Talk on cell or listen to music while walking alone ANYWHERE
5. Krav Maga, YMCA and your local Police station all have self defense classes that usually free.
