Focus
Focus on getting in to the car and driving away. Take out your keys first, so that you’ll have a weapon no matter what,and no more fishing for them later that makes you a sitting duck, ignore paper stuck on your windshield. Don’t divert your attention to anything along the way, and just remember that any delay in your journey towards the car will increase your risk of robbery.
Lock up
Yes,it’s a simple rule,but EVERYONE forgets it! We know your girls like to read, pack up or balance your cheque books, but once you take your time in the car, you’ll be come a victim to predator that may be watching you for quite some time. MAKE SURE THERE’S NO ONE IN THE BACK SEAT.
Tough enough?
Women are always sympathetic,but there are always cases where criminals may actually play on your kind,gentle side to get close to you. Serial killer Ted Bundy was a good looking, well-educated man who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. Never stop for help. If you feel guilty,just tell yourself that there will always be someone else to help them.
Forget exercise
We’re serious! Forget about talking the stairs. They’re horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. Do not stand back in the corners of the elevator and stay near the door. If a weirdo is getting on the lift,you should get off and not ride the elevator with him.
Look round and round
Make a few notes when getting into your car or getting out.Look into your car or be aware of cars next to you. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans,so NEVER park next to a van.If there is a male seating in the seat of the car next to you, walk back into the mall.BETTER PARANOID THAN DEAD!
What to do IF…….
# You’re approached by someone dangerous?
-If you’re in your car,start sounding your horn until assistance arrives or better yet,drive away to the nearest police station.
# You’re being held at gunpoint?
-RUN! We’re serious! Police only make 4 out of 10 shots when they’re in range of 3-9 feet. Due to stress,the predator will only hit a running target(u) 4 in 100 times! RUN!
# You’re caught in the car with a predator?
-React immediately.He’s likely to take you to the crime area,so DON’t LET HIM GET YOU TO THAT AREA! Crash your car into something and run when he’s in shock.If he’s driving.. find the right time and stick your fingers in his eyes.. (when he’s going slow)…
# You’re being man-handled
-physical defences like attacking the eyes and neck are your best weapons. Poke him hard in the eyes or use strength to punch out his air supply temporarily. Last place to attack is the knees,and since it’svulnerrable there,just give a swift kick there and run away…
# You’re being chased?
It’s sound corny,but finding an obstacle like a parked car can actually save your life. Last hope is getting under the car,as there are tons of things to hold onto.
# You’re being locked up in the trunk
Kick out the back tail lights and wave your hand like crazy. People may see you,but the driver will not.This notion has saved lives.
