Chasing Attackers

When a person attacks you, he/she is usually more dressed for running than you, not counting probably being in better physical condition for running than you. You will probably be dressed in a suit/dress shoes or tight dress/high heels and the attacker will dressed in loose clothes and running shoes. The attacker will have a jump on you from the start will already be running before you may decide to give chase. The attacker will the know the area and have an escape route planned, probably over fences and through uneven terrain that is unfamiliar to you, so even if you are a runner, you will not be able to catch the attacker, so don't waste your time.

Check Books

Do not leave check books unattended. If they are left unattended, immediately check to insure all the checks are still in the book. To give him or her more time to use the checks without the fear of being discovered, a perpetrator may only take a few checks from deep inside the checkbook. You will not notice this has happened until you get to that point in the book or until you get your monthly statement. Remember the checks usually list your name address and phone number. Even if the perpetrator does not use the checks, he or she may use the information on them for other means. They know from observing you, the way you dress, and the car you drive what salary level you are probably in. From the check, they can usually tell if you are single and probably living alone. They can immediately go to your address and take what they need since they know where you are at the time. They may even leave a lookout to watch you and report back your location.

Feeling for Wallet

When in a tense or stressful situation, such as in a crowd or around suspicious people, people will usually feel or check for their wallet, purse, or other valuable to insure they are still there. This is a waste of time since, if it is not there, it is too late to check. The only person it does help is the thief, who now knows where you are keeping your valuables. It saves them having to guess where you keep your wallet and lessens their chance of being discovered or captured when they make their move. Before you enter a situation where you may be concerned about your valuables, move them to a safer location, such as a man moving his wallet to a front pants pocket, and then do not keep feeling to see if it is there.
