Useful Tips To Avoid Abduction

Crucial…

Because of recent abductions
In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do
in an emergency situation...
This is for you & for you to share with your wife,
your children & 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.
If a robber asks for your wallet or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet or purse than you & 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 & 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., & just sit
(doing their cheque book, or making a list, etc.
(DON'T DO THIS!)
The predator may be watching you,
& 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....

If someone is in the car with a gun to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead run 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 your body found 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 female 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,
& on 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 & 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,
& the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!
7. If the predator has a gun & you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times, & 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,
& 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
& she called the police because it was late
& 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 & she was worried
that it would crawl to the street & 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 & 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.
10. Water Scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running,
or what you think is a burst pipe,
DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE!
These people turn on all your outside taps
full bore so that you will go out to investigate
& then they attack.
Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!
Please pass this on.
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America 's Most Wanted 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.

Send this to any woman you know that may need
to be reminded that the world we live in
has a lot of crazies in it, & it's better to be safe than sorry..
Everyone should take 5 minutes
to read this.
It may save your life or
a loved one's life

10 easy steps to avoid being a victim of a Snatch-Theft!‏

10 easy steps to avoid being a victim of a Snatch-Theft! & What to do if you do become a victim?

Did you know that there are estimated 1,200 cases of snatch-theft reported every month in Malaysia!!

10 easy steps to avoid being a victim of a Snatch-Theft!
& What to do if you do become a victim?

- based on multiple police reports and real incidents:
Snatch-thief:
They usually move in pairs on 150cc motorcycles (those middle size bikes). The thieves are usually teenagers but not always.

Prime snatch-theft areas: College, universities, offices and shop-lot areas

1. SUSPECT every oncoming motorcyclist whether from behind or front to be a snatch-thief! Better safe than sorry.

2. Females are usually the victims of snatch-thief so be extra cautious with whatever you are carrying. Males are known to be victims too so don’t let your guard down. (Ladies: try not to carry your purse & mobile phone in your hands while walking) (Guys: always walk with and let your wife/girl friend walk on the inside and you on the outside, snatch-thief’s do think twice when they see a man around)

3. Always walk FACING oncoming traffic. A snatch thief will usually come from behind you when you are not looking.

4. NEVER carry your bags/stuffs towards the outside of the road

5. DO NOT answer your mobile phone while walking, if you must answer; walk as far away from the road and stay put while talking, always facing towards the road

6. If you have to take a walk in a prime snatch thief area, do not carry too much stuff! Leave it in your car/office/home.

7. Wherever you are walking to, try to walk off the main road and onto walk paths or through playgrounds and etc where motorized vehicle cannot go through

8. While having a meal in a restaurant or mamak (especially mamaks), DO NOT leave your mobile phone, wallet or keys on the table.

9. While walking; take a look to your back every now and then …. You never know if somebody is stalking you

10. If you notice someone suspicious following/stalking or approaching you … SCREAM!!!

Safety Tips

Capt.  Balasubramaniam who is an expert on rescue and survival shared this with some attendees in one of his programmes.  What he emphasized was that we should never put ourselves in a dangerous and vulnerable position and this usually just entails some common sense and alertness most of the time. Of course things do happen no matter how careful you are.

At the Car park:

Do not walk towards your car. Walk towards the next car or the car opposite.

Do lock your car immediately you get in and drive off ASAP. Please   don’t check your cellphone, your makeup, etc. 

At the ATM:

Use your ring finger to key in your pin, as the rest of the fingers will cover the keypad.

Do not count your money at the atm. After all it’s not going to give you what it owes to you.

In a taxi:

Pretend to make a phone call to your friend/husband informing them where you are, what time you are expected, the colour of taxi, taxi no etc. you must of course talk within earshot of the driver.

If you live alone:

Do get some men’s clothing’s and shoes. Hang them out with your own laundry! Leave the men’s shoes outside your house.

Do leave radio/TV on.

Do be suspicious if you receive calls that seem to have got the wrong number.

If you have husbands who travel regularly:

Do drive his car when he is not around as opportunists will notice that his car is dusty and in the same spot for many days.

If you have children tell them:

Never to post photos of your new car on Facebook.

Never to reveal that they are ‘home alone’ or parents are away.

Also, get the telephone number of the police station in your area and list it as the first number in your phone contact list rather than list it under P.

Calling 999 in an emergency will be a futile attempt.

Safety Gadgets:

1.Keeping a loudhailer at home would be more effective than screaming and shouting for help in an emergency.

2.Install sensor lights

3.Pepper spray - they have a shelf life. So you must check the expiry date otherwise it will fail you when you need to use it!

Capt. Bala recommends that pepper sprays must be

a. Water based

b. Must be US made with finger ring on the bottom

c. Must have double casing.

4. Alarm padlocks.

5. Throw some thumbtacks up the opening in the ceiling (what do you call that??) for those who live in link houses.

If you are ever, so unfortunate to have your bag snatched, do not struggle with the assailant. Let go and do not chase after them. Neither should your husband/boyfriend/son.

When you drop your friend/loved ones home, especially those who live in apartments, get them to text you once they are inside the safety of their homes. I think we should drill this in to our sons who drop off their girlfriends!
