1. Always remember that your elbow is the strongest part of your body. If you can use it, you must.
2. If a robber asks for your wallet, do not hand it to him; throw it far away. Generally, he will be more interested in your wallet than in you. While he turns to go in that direction, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.
3. If a robber tries to take your bag, do not be reluctant to let it go. Anything expensive in your bag can be bought again, but your life cannot.
4. If a robber breaks into your home, it is best not to talk too much. Stay calm and do not try to talk to him to distract him; he knows what you are trying to do, and this often makes him more resentful. Also, do not provoke him verbally or make too much eye contact. In general, when a robber breaks into a home, he is only after money and wants to get it over with as quickly as possible. However, if you provoke him or refuse to cooperate, he will use "his way" to show you who is in control now.
5. However, if you can reach your balcony, or any place where you can contact the outside world, or if you hear someone at the door, etc., please grab everything that can make noise and call for help loudly. Generally, if a robber realizes that someone else is aware of his actions, he will leave in a hurry.
6. If you are thrown into the trunk of a car, kick hard at the area of the taillights. Once a taillight is kicked out, stick your arm through the hole and wave it. The driver cannot see you, but other cars can. This has saved lives before.
7. If you like to shop, eat, or sit in your car after work to calculate expenses, keep notes, etc., please break this habit. This is the perfect moment for criminals. A robber will jump into the passenger seat or the back seat, hold a gun to your head, and force you to drive to a place where it is convenient for them to commit a crime. Therefore, when you are out alone, lock the car doors as soon as you get in.
8. If a robber has already jumped into your car and is holding a gun on you, do not drive to where they tell you to go. Absolutely not. You should start your car and drive at a relatively high speed into the nearest wall, tree, etc. Your airbag will save you. If the criminal is in the back seat, they will be severely injured. If possible, leave your car after the crash and call for help. If you cannot leave, believe that you have already attracted enough attention. Remember, you would rather suffer a collision injury than be found days later, naked, in a pile of grass in some desolate place.
9. A few tips regarding parking lots:
a. Remember to observe the area around your car before getting in, including the passenger seat and the back seat.
b. If your car is parked next to a large van, and the van is parked on the driver's side, please enter your car from the passenger side.
c. Be careful of the cars parked on either side of yours. If a man is sitting alone on the side facing your car, please be sure to be careful.
10. Be mindful when taking an elevator, especially at night. Stairwells are not pleasant places in the early morning or at night.
(Here is a small tip unrelated to this: If the elevator suddenly drops while you are in it, immediately press the buttons for all the floors below your current one. Generally, if a sudden drop is caused by a circuit issue, the elevator will stop when it reaches a floor where the circuit is working properly. If the elevator continues to drop, stand with your back against the elevator wall (to support your spine), hold the handrail tightly, and bend your knees halfway (this can slightly cushion your inertia if the elevator suddenly hits the ground).)
11. If someone points a gun at you, run. The probability of being hit while running is 4%. Even if you are hit, it is usually not in a vital organ. If possible, run in an S-shape. Unless they are chasing you, then forget everything else and run as fast as you can toward a crowded area.
12. Do not assume everyone is pitiful; always stay vigilant.
13. If you hear a baby crying at your door, do not open it. It is usually a recording and a robber.
14. After shopping, count your money carefully. (There have been cases like this: A woman pays for gas at a station and returns to her car. A man walks over and knocks on the window, holding a 100-dollar bill, saying you dropped it. The woman thanks him, opens the window/door, and then... the outcome is very tragic.)
