> >>We can now add to the list of victims the retired 77 yr. old TCU
> professor
> >>from Ft Worth whose body was found last week in Oklahoma--and the
> 11 yr.
> >>old in Sarasota, FL. Because of these recent abductions in
> daylight hours,
> >>refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency
> situation...This is
> >>for you, and everyone you know.
> >>
> >>After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them 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. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans. 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/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 cars after shopping,
> eating,
> >>working,! etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, 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.
> >>
> >>a. If someone is in the car w! ith a gun to your head DO NOT
> DRIVE OFF,
> >>repeat: 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
> bail out
> >>and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote
> >>location.
> >>
> >>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.
> >>
> >>B.) If you are parked next to a big van, 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. This is
> especially
> >>true at NIGHT!)
> >>
> >>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,
> Preferably ! in
> >>a zig -zag pattern!
> >>
> >>8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP. 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.
> >>
> >>************* Here it is *******
> >>
> >>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
> baby's 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
> ----This
> >>e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby
> theory
> >>was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they
> >>profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.
> >>
> >>I'd like you to forward this to all the people 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 one 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 to be
> safe than
> >>sorry.
> >>
