I think that is the title... basically to look around and be aware and strictly to follow your gut feeling. It says that many people who are murdered knew they would be or were in danger but out of politeness didnt do anything and didnt run etc. Forget manners and run, dont let people in the door and so on. There was another concept in it called "false teaming" where someone tries to win you over pretending to be in the same situation as you, trying to help you i.e. to get you alone with them or inside your house... it was really helpful. It took security to a new level! <br />I believe have beware of the dog signs whether you have a dog or not are a very good idea.

Another tip is to make sure ...Good morning Cheryl. Another tip is to make sure your windshield wipers are are good and working properly. I just got new ones yesterday. I also have locks on the inside of both doors to my apartment. My brother installed a "hotel lock" that only allows the door to open about 4". The other extra lock was already installed when I got there. Knowing where you have parked is also very helpful. Most parking lots have some sort of labeling system, and I also look for landmarks, or look to see where the door I am expecting to come out is from the car. (I have no sense of direction, and am easily lost in parking lots). Don't use your cell phone as you are exiting a store and become distracted. Shopping with a friend or family member (when possible) is also a deterrent to those who would rob you in a parking lot. Have a great day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579989452439876698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-3128331773010885832018-12-07T07:41:26.620-05:002018-12-07T07:41:26.620-05:00You are very welcome.
