Better to be safe than sorry

I got this email from my best friend and I wanted to pass it along to every woman I know.  This is really good information for all women.

Because of these 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 children, your friends,
your wife, everyone you know.

  1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your
body. If you are close enough to use it, DO SO!

  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.

  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, in the back seat and underneath the car.

          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).

  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!

  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 crying outside their doors, when they're home
alone at 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 everyone you know. It may save a life.

Send this to someone 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
