>
> 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.

horrible

> 7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!

And even
> then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

get you

well

women. He

vehicle

window,

DO NOT

baby's cry

someone

several

doors, when
