A friend sent me this warning list!
It only takes a couple of minutes and there is some great information on it that I didn't know about especially the crying baby tape and the running water. I don't want to scare anyone but it does make sense to be forewarned.

that's a good list.
I was at the mall last weekend getting into my car and I heard a voice ask me how to get to a location. It was someone in an SUV next to me with dark tinted windows. The window was down slightly but I couldn't see inside because there was a screen (like a dog guard)
It totally freaked me out. Of course, being the "nice" person I am I stood there and gave the person directions wondering the whole time whether someone was going to sneak up behind me and do somethig.

You know, I don't consciously remember seeing or hearing Tip No. 2 before I actually had to use it in real life -- but I will tell you from personal experience that it worked for me! In 2001, coming home from work late, a guy stepped out from a dark doorway, confronted me with a huge knife, and said "give me your money" -- I fumbled in my little purse reaching for bills inside my wallet -- he said "hurry up" in a way that freaked me out -- I threw the whole purse in one direction -- and strode away very fast in the other (didn't run -- afraid I would have fallen -- for me striding seemed strong, and I didn't want any more freakout in the situation, in me or the guy). Got to the next corner, turned up a busy avenue, went inside first open business -- all night pizza place -- they called police. (I didn't have a cell phone at the time. And if I had, it might have been inside the little purse that had been thrown to the ground!)
After telling my story at the Precinct -- officer took me back to area where it happened to see if we could find any of my things -- the mugger must have gone into this park-like central area of some apt complex across the street from where it happened -- on the ground, I started to see a few things I'd had in my purse! It was a Hansel-and-Gretel trail to a trash can, inside which -- there was my little purse, with wallet, keys, disposable camera that still had pictures of my son's high school sports award banquet of a few nights earlier! I got back everything except my cash!
["2. Learned this from a tourist guide.
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!"]

Good stuff LuAnne I'm so glad you ran, nothing is worth what's in your purse. Scary holy shitzy.
Roseg please dom't do that again and watch our for that van in case it's still around, that sounded a bit weird to me especially about the window not being down and the screen. I would still report it to the police just let them know about you never know they may be looking or just that informtation.
Sierra, I didn't know you moved are you happier there, where did you go, somewhere else in the city or a smaller town, I"m sorry about the suitcase, I hate that. In London you can't leave anything on the curbside because people assume it's garbage or you want to give it away. part of the students moving twice a year. A real pain if your moving.
Hanna thanks for the driving info I didn't know that if you stayed on the speed limit you'd be okay, this is great stuff.
