Subject: OT.....Be a Little More Cautious...
A MUST READ, very educational for your wife, daughter, sister friends etc.!

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 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 cheque book, 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.

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

 Forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not
dimmed by lighting another candle 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, as well.

Send this to any woman (or man) 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..

Most cars these days have a safety latch on the inside of the trunk so you
can't be locked in.  Doesn't help if you can't reach it or if the car is an
older model.

We do?!  That's funny, the first thing I do when I get in my car is lock the
door, start the engine, put on my seat belt and drive off.  I've never sat
in my car doing the things described above.

True.

I never purposely park next to a van (or a big truck).  This is definitely
something to be cautious about.  Never fails I'll come out of a store and
find myself hemmed in by one or the other, though.

A good tip.  A guard or policeman may not be around but you may want to ask
a store employee (like the "bag boy" at the grocery store) to walk out with
you.  There's safety in numbers.

Most people here will tell you, I'm not all that sympathetic LOL

True.  Most of his victims were college girls, often around college
campuses.  It IS important to tell young, impressionable women to exercise a
lot of caution.  Travel in packs (so to speak) when possible.

I'll hit him with my cane ;)

Not true.  MG posted the link to snopes dispelling this myth.

So, if one part, about the baby crying is untrue, Jill, Does it make the
rest of the things to be treated the same way?, as bad advice?

It sounds pretty good advice to me, the rest of it then, don't you think
so?.....

I am not 'trying' to score points by posting this, that a friend sent me...
SO, one part is not true, so what?, Ignore the rest?..By all means do, at

Cats challenging each other to a fight are often mistaken for a human
crying baby.  It's really eerie, how real they sound.  Or sometimes,
it's just one cat wanting to howl.  Just FYI.

That just happened to me a week ago!  I thought, who has a crying
baby??  Then I found out that noise was my cat, who I didn't know
was outside for her morning survey of the back yard, telling some
cat to get lost on the other side of the fence!  Eerie is right.  Never
heard
her sound like that.

That's so true!  And I don't run outside every time I hear a sound like
that.  Nor do I call the police.

The suspicious thing regarding debunking the "crying baby" thing is if the
woman *really* thought there was a baby outside she'd probably have just
opened the door and looked.  Don't you think?  Or would she call the police
first and have to have someone tell her repeatedly not to open the door?
Doesn't make sense to me.

To further debunk, as Snopes pointed out, if that ruse was used by a serial
killer to lure women outside it would have been blasted all over the news.
That's not the kind of detail the cops would keep from the public.

There's probably a lot of people on here that pay for each and every
Kb/Mb that they have to download to view something.

It took me all of about 15secs to come up with this...... which you
could have used in your reply to Barry, rather than quote approx 115
lines of previously repeated stuff....

http://tinyurl.com/649ewf

Once again......... lift your game, woman, and have some consideration
of others.

Or you might just find yourself in a whole lot of killfiles...... as I
have done with several of my 'mates', because they do exactly the same
thing as you.

Damn, are that many people are still a pay per hour/dialup service?

Yeah, but you're not Barry.  My point was he didn't bother to read that I

I'll add some "common sense" that wasn't in Barry's original post.

Don't walk out of a store with your wallet in your hand, fumbling to get it
into your purse (if you carry a purse).  If you do that, you aren't going to
be paying attention to who is around you.  Put your money and your wallet
away before you leave the store.

If you are a man (women aren't the only people who are robbed/mugged) don't
carry your wallet in your back pants pocket.  In a crowd situation the old
bump and lift the wallet routine is a pickpockets' dream.  If it won't
detract from fashion (heh), consider a wallet with a chain that links to
your belt.  I'm sure you can find a fine gold chain, but that would only
attract more attention LOL

Always have your keys in your hand when exiting an establishment to walk to
your car, with the car key being the one you're holding onto so you don't
have to fumble for it.

When you arrive home, make sure it's the house key you're holding.

If there are tall bushes or shrubs around your doorway, consider cutting
them back or having them removed.

If your entry-way is dark, invest in an outside floodlight.  Motion sensor
lights are fairly cheap.  If you aren't surrounded by trees you can get
solar-powered versions.

Your posts draw me because of your (more often than not) acidic nature.

Do you feel you are being singled out? Why?

Your plaintive "I wasn't the only one..", well...!!

It comes down to basic human kindness JillyQ.

Another old anti-pickpocket device is a simple rubber band, slipped over
the wallet and the wallet stashed in a pocket. Rubber band pulls on the
trouser pocket when pickpocket attempts the pick.

Stick one key out between your forefinger and middle finger and it
becomes a handy eyeball scratcher if someone grabs you.

Exactly!  Scratch, nothing.  I'll stab you with it.  Anyplace I can.

I'm afraid the alligator would eat my cat :)  Of course, she (the cat, not
the alligator) doesn't go outside.  The alligator is problematic.  Do you
know how much water they require?!  LOL

Okay, if we want to complain... how come your posts (and Lia's) are the only
ones I see with a gazillion >>>>>>>>>'s  between paragraphs?  Why should I
have to constantly scroll down to read from one paragraph to the next?
Hmmm?

You're picking at nits.  And I have no idea why.

LOL!!!

You're clutching at straws, Jilly.

Get your facts straight before you gob off, *again*.

You shouldn't have to. You have proven that you are inherently lazy.

Your best bet is to killfile everyone........ then you woulnd't have to
waste you valuable time on anything.

And God knows you need more time to relax with a G&T or a bucket of
white.

> You're picking at nits.  

I've only been talking to you.

The story of your life.

Apparently big vans are never parked on the car's passenger side.  Duh.
