> 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

>
> 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
