Ramblings of a Crowe

Saftey Tips: READ THIS!

What a dangerous world we live in. It's disgusting that humans prey on each other like beasts. I recieved this email and thought I'd pass it along for everyone to read. You never know when you might need information like this.

(btw, I don't think this applies just to women these days, but I left the e-mail as I recieved it)

Abduction Precautions for Women

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 for
you to share with your wife, your children, everyone
you know. 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. 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.

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).

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 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 baby crying 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 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.
