I have a tendency to not make eye contact with strangers. I will remember to look strangers in the face. I have always checked my back seat before getting into my car. I would do the same on the minivan at my work, where it would be much easier for someone to hide. <br /><br />The one that spoke the loudest to me was the one about being parked beside a van or beside a car with a lone male in the passenger side. Very wise to be aware of those situations. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-17019641352425464652013-02-12T17:02:40.633-08:002013-02-12T17:02:40.633-08:00I know what you are talking about.

The city that I live in is becoming progressively dangerous, especially at night, so I never go anywhere without the spouse. I just don't feel safe. I remember hearing on TV that the FBI advise standing and fighting for your life there and then if ever anyone tries to carjack or kidnap. Evidence shows that if you leave with an abductor, you are as good as dead. Scary but I thought that was worth passing on.Questhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132950764844608518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-58186809700131929532013-02-11T17:53:22.331-08:002013-02-11T17:53:22.331-08:00This is why I have my bodyguard with me all the ti...This is why I have my bodyguard with me all the time.. also known as my big scary looking husband. ;) ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-87810037457976991372013-02-11T17:13:58.825-08:002013-02-11T17:13:58.825-08:00Thank you for this link, I will check it out!

I've been in a dangerous situation on the street, and possibly, was literally saved by two young men who later became my friends. And I did a few things on this list intuitively.

Read about it here. <br />http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/rape.asp<br /><br />Basically, not everything is true in the article and can't be supported by police statistics. Supposedly it was written by a self-defense instructor who was trying to get more business.

They advice you to park farther (for exercise), but that's probably a more dangerous spot than front and center. <br /><br />Another thing to add that started happening around MD in general: if someone offers to pump your gas, drive away if there are no other people around pumping, and avoid full service gas stations at night. Also, criminals were slashing people's tires at grocery stores or gas stations and offering to take the victim to the nearest Walmart or whatever. Never get in a car with strangers. Never accept help OR offer to take anyone anywhere unless you're with somebody else (preferrably a male). Rather, call the police and let them handle it. That's why they're there. If you have to get out of your car because you hear a noise, take your purse, lock your car and go look at the back. People have been known to attach empty soda cans to the back of the car, have the woman stop the car a mere few feet outside of the parkinglot, while the suspect gets inside the car and drives off with your car, purse, and maybe even child.
