Safety for all

[Guest]

I received an email this morning about safety for car drivers particularly women but it could affect any of us. I have pasted it elow. I know this is a pigeon forum but we are a community. Sometimes we get on well other times not so well. But as a community we should always support each other. If Richard / Gemma or one of the moderators should choose to remove this because it is not pigeon related I will fully understand.

 

This Is Genuine Police Advice For Interest - Please Read  

READ ALL OF THIS RIGHT DOWN TO THE BOTTOM.  BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!

 

An important message from the Police - please pass this along to all the women you know.....

 

This actually happened a few weeks ago on the M3 FLEET SERVICES!!!

 

It was early evening and a young girl stopped to get petrol.  She filled her tank and walked into the store to pay for her petrol. The cashier told her 'Don't pay for your petrol yet.....walk around the store for a while and act as if you're picking up some other things to buy. A man just got into the back of your car. I've called the police and they're on their way'. When the police arrived, they found the man in the back seat of the girl's car and asked him what he was doing. He replied, he was joining a gang and the initiation to join is to kidnap a woman and bring her back to the gang to be raped by every member of the gang. If the woman was still alive by the time they finish with her then they let her go.

According to the police that night, there is a new gang forming here originating from London. The scary part of this is because the guy didn't have a weapon on him. The police could only charge him with trespassing.... He's back on the street and free to try again.

 

Something similar to this happened at Tescos garage on Cardiff Road in Newport recently, but luckily the cashier saw the man get into her car. We have to be so careful these days.

 

Please be aware of what's going on around you and for your family and friends. LADIES you or one of your family and friends could be the next victim.

 

Please forward this on to everyone you know. Please do not discard this message it is very important that everyone knows what is happening.

 

Please be careful when leaving your vehicle and make sure it is ALWAYS Locked to prevent this from happening to you.

 

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: Kick out 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 car park:

 

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 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 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

I have also heard of a similar car-jacking scheme being carried out by leaving a traffic cone in the road in a relatively quiet area...so you stop and get out of your car to move it...leaving your engine running...sure you can work out the rest.

 

BE AWARE !

A woman was followed in her car. An un - marked police car asked her to pull over. She indicated she would and drove on whilst phoning the police. They told her to cary on driving and they would intercept her. The man caught was wanted for rapes etc.

Be informed, a unmarked police care can of course stop you, but you are legally allowed to pull over where safe, and in a zone you feel deemed to. Or at the local nick.

[ChrisMaidment08]

my advice to femail freind is lock doors only have drivers door open and if car comes up behind you even if marked police car do not stop but drive untill another police car comes along cos if gen they will soon send another we used to by ex police cars complete with all decals we had to remove them so could have used them for crime

[lawrie]

if an unmarked police car trys to stop you, you are intileted not to stop unless they drive up next to you and show you i.d.

another way of knowing if its a false unmarked police car is the lights will flash from over the front grill of the car.

in a real unmarked car they flash from under the grill. they also have a lit up sign on there back window saying POLICE.

 

in some american states you dont have to stop for the police in a community street untill you reach the safty of your home.

[superstar]

Never mind women! I know a bloke who was hijacked at knife point and made to drive to Nottingham 100 miles away. Not much fun a journey like that with a knife at your back I bet.

[Roland]

Worst still when they got to Nottingham no doubt lol ;D

Could be worse , A little further and be in Mansfield... Only good thing from there was our Great Swimming sensational double Gold medalist.... So even from .... ;D ;D

[PIGEON_MAN]

Another place to be carefull is at traffic lights,knew a old couple who were just about to pull away from the lights when a young drunken guy jumped in and made them take him a couple of miles down the road luckily there was no violance but the old couple were really shook up.

No nothing happened the bloke just legged it apparently but the chap I knew was in a state, it had an effect on him for months. Probably still like it to some degree. I bet the bloke who got out at Nottingham was even worse mind, it isnt the best of places. Best to stay on M1 and keep foot down lol
