We all know that crime rates increase during the holiday season each year. Criminals wish to make an easy buck, or worse.... so let's not give them an extra opportunity. I want my friends to be safe, so here are some helpful hints for you. Be sure to visit my blog next week because you will get five more easy steps to insure your safety during this busy season.
Tips from: It Never Hurts To Be Careful In This Crazy World We Live In
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do Instructor: The elbow is the strongest point on our body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. Tip from a Tour Guide: If a robber asks for you wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you, THEN RUN. Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the money.
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out of the hole and start waving like C-R-A-Z-Y!!! 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 start a new task, like balancing a checkbook, before driving off. DON'T DO THIS! This is the perfect opportunity for a predator 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. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head, 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, jump out and RUN. A totaled car is better than having them find your body in a remote location.
Stay safe my friends.....
