    Default Satety Tips

    This was forwarded to me from JohnMOhio

    Common sense tips we may not think of during actual emergencies but the more you think of "what if" the more likely you will make the right moves.

    Unfortunately the more we know the more you realize you can't trust any body.



    WRITTEN BY A COP:

    Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one's life. 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.

    AND 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..

    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 because it was late and she thought it was weird..She called the police.

    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 windrow 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 blast so that you will go out to investigate and then attack.

    Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors!

    I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.

    It may save a life.

    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.

    Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one's life.

    Very good tips and I might add "PUT THE DAMN PHONE DOWN!" My X-cons told me that distracted people are easy marks to take down. As for me, I have two Wolfdogs that go everywhere with me, so they alert me first and protect me. Sigmund is also close to my heart. I have a walking staff for my left hand that can also be used as a baton, of which I am trained in.
    Back in 1981 I was one of 5 deputies that attended a "Street Survival" course, and I still use much of that training.

    Street survival course. I grew up taking that course for many years. Inner city Chicago. Pass or fail. Passing meant being able to live long enough to talk about it. Here I am!
    To this day some friends confuse my vigilance with paranoia. Reflection in a store window or a shadow that doesn’t quite look right. I take notice.
    But a large well trained dog certainly picks up on any slack I might have.
