don’t leave the doors to your house open.
a lot of people do for some reason. Stop that.
snakes scorpions bears and mice get in. Mice seems harmless but carry diseases that can be fatal. Also spiders.
A lot of burglary occurs in unlocked houses and cars.
And I will never forget the case I saw if an incarcerated prisoner who got a life sentence because he saw a random house with the front door open, decided to walk in, and impulsively kill whoever he found. You just never know who’s off in the head. His reason was that “he always wanted to kill someone, and just saw the opportunity.”
(this is also why you don’t pick fights with strangers in public, over a traffic altercation even or, perhaps they are even a patient or client of yours in some capacity. But yeah, it even happens literally in traffic in broad day light, they might decide today’s the day I’m going to ram my car 90mph into someone off a bridge. I once saw a guy pull a gun in a mall parking lot because he was mad he didn’t get his kids to see Santa Claus before he left that day. Yeah. It happens just like that. Imagine if you pissed that guy off in line at the Santa place inside. You’d be the first one he aimed at.)
I can’t tell you how many people I see walking around with open purses as well. Don’t do that either. There are people who notice.
also home security systems can be hacked. You’re better off with a concealed carry license and training how to use one.
ive watched so many cases go down where things could have gone so differently if they just kept a gun on them.
get signal jammers for Your house, ur credit cards, and your phone. So you are harder to hack. Don’t use public WiFi.
Never open emails or answer phone calls you don’t know period. If it’s important they will leave a voice mail. And of course, there are a lot of posing emails as something you may know or someone pretending to know you. But I just ignore all of it. Same goes for texts and Facebook messages, even tumblr.
it may seem like just an advertisement that is spam but by clicking on it you give them access. Or someone posing as someone you know.
if someone talks to you on the street or in public donT even look. Pretend you are deaf.
if doeone approaches your window or door to your home do *not* open it.
I can’t tell you how many missing persons cases I’ve seen that started this way. Stories from People who survived.
if someone is attempting to kidnap you, the number one thing police advise you to do is 1. Do not do what they are asking you or demanding you to do and 2. Do not EVER get IN the car with them. Do whatever you can to avoid this.
once you are in the vehicle you become significantly less likely to ever be found alive again. it’s just statistics. Once you get in, your chances of being found immediately drop very significantly and it gives the kidnapper the advantage
