Parking
Lot Smart
We've all heard about "street smart," maybe we need to also be "parking lot
smart" Remember these during our shorter, darker days! Please take the time to
read this. I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be
some, where you will go "hmm, I must remember that."
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.
FOR THE LADIES: Be cautious if you choose 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.
