TIPS FROM USA POLICE

This is a good reminder for all of us. You can never Read this too many

times!

1.Tip from police: 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 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 or 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 car after shopping, eating,

working, etc., and just sit (doing their check 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.

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. (And check out under the car as you

approach.)

B.If you're parked next to a big van you should 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).

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.

Most of the tips are good, but paranoid if the US are not so violent as LOS and that we have been told by 2 guys in GD. One thing is wrong however - the elbow is not the strongest point, on me it's often something else, but on all the knees are stronger and a kick with a good shoe on not so bad either. ::

i think a friend of mine would find most ot the 'advice' pure shite..........

 

she was in Florida with her 2 Sons (aged 4 and 7) and her disabled Mother who was in a Wheelchair.

she was targeted as the 4 of them went to get into their vehicle and initially refused the demands for Money.

she was then pistol whipped to the ground and as the gun held to her temple the 'request' for money was given again.

she was terrified,not only for her own life but for her Family who were staring at the scene in shocked silence.

she gave the mugger everything including the hired vehicle keys and was eventually helped by kindly locals who had seen the incident but were too afraid to intervene.

 

many of the tips are very good for someone who has the balls to stand up to an assailant.

but if someone held a gun to my head i don't think i could run away,i would probably shitting myself.

personally i would give everything up just to stay alive,you never know what the state of mind of the assailant is like at the time.
