bit of a read but you never know………
This first bit is mainly for women, but boys please read it and send
it on to any women you care about. The second bit is a warning to all
of us!
Some sound advice for us all as we all sometimes forget to take our
common sense with us when we go out. This is from Northants Police..
Women.... In light of the recent kidnapping and now murder of Leigh
Mathews I think it is important to read the following info for your
own safety.
Things women should know to stay safe:
Please Take the time to read these pointers. There may just be one or
two you hadn't thought of. 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. If a robber asks for your handbag, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it
away from you.... he is probably more interested in your handbag than
you and he will go for the handbag. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the boot of a car: Kickout the back
tail lights and stick your arm through the hole and start waving. 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 cheque book, or making a
list).
DON'T DO THIS! A predator could be watching you, and this is the
perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, and
attack you. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND
LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a carpark:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger
side floor, and check the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car
from the passenger door. Most attackers surprise their victims by pulling
them into their van 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 shop, 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 lift 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! 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 babies' 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.
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. 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 and it's better safe than sorry.

PLEASE READ. MAY BE HELPFUL AND PLEASE TAKE CARE!! ALL CAR OWNERS AND
CAR DRIVERS PLEASE READ Warning!!!!
Be aware of new car-jacking scheme. You walk across the car park,
unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start
the engine and shift or put into reverse.
You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space
and you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear
window.
So, you shift the gear stick back into park or neutral, unlock your
doors and jump out of your car to remove that paper or whatever it is
that is obstructing your view.
When you reach the back of your car that is when the car-jackers
appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!!
Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car and
they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN
LONDON/MANCHESTER MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!
Just drive away and remove the paper later! It is stuck to your window
and be thankful that you read this email. I hope you will forward this
to friends and family especially to women! A purse contains all
identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your
home address. They already HAVE your keys!!!
JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE IT WILL PROBABLY SOON ARRIVE
IN YOUR AREA
