For Your Own Safety

Feb 20, 2005 17:50

I got this in one of thsoe forwardy emails. Yup, this is serious. It's better to waste five minutes on something that could help you in the future, than to ignore it and wind up regretting so.

Objet : Fwd: Fw: GIRLS-Please read this it might just save your life

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND READ THE EMAIL THEN OPEN THE
ATTACHMENT.

Women.... In light of the recent kidnapping and now murder of Leigh Mathews
I think it is important to read the following info for your own safety.

Things women should know to stay safe: Please take the time to read these
pointers. There may just be one or two you hadn't &thought of. After
reading this, forward it 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. If a robber asks for your handbag, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away
from you.... he is probably more interested in your handbag than you and he
will go for the handbag. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the boot of a car: Kick out the back tail
lights and stick your arm through the hole and start waving. 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 perfect opportunity for him to get in on
the passenger side, and attack you. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK
THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a car park:

A.)Be aware:look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side
floor, and check the back seat.

B.) If you are parked next to a big van,enter your car from the passenger
door. Most attackers surprise 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 shop, 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 lift 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! 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 babies' 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.

I'd like you to 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 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 safe than sorry. The above is directed at women, but remember
guys you may also be targeted the same way.
