> 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. 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 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.
