Crucial
   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!
