The recent furor over the introduction of body-scanning devices used to scan passengers as they pass through airport security serves to remind us all that the post-911 world is much different than earlier decades in terms of public security. "Pre-911" is a term used to mark a simpler time, in the United States as well as in the rest of the world. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 remain a constant reminder of how lax security and an unaware state mind can lead to catastrophe. When it comes to public safety procedures now in use, times were much different just a decade ago.
The airlines, in particular, were the hardest hit in terms of security implications. The use of metal detectors has been steadily rising over the past few decades; this latest body scanner device is simply the most recent in a long line of increasingly sophisticated ways to detect weapons and other contraband concealed on the bodies of passengers. It may seem completely impossible to today's travelers, but decades ago, it was considered completely acceptable to light up a cigarette during the flight, though today doing the same touches off a panic over potential terrorist behavior on the flight.
With the recent discovery of bombs in shoes, underwear, and other seemingly strange places, it has become impossible to know who has the capability of staging an attack without such detection systems in place. As a result, each one of us is looked upon as a possible terrorist as we walk through the airport security gates. We aren't used to that type of thinking, but in the post-911 world, it is a reality. We all have to suffer longer lines, invasive searches, and constant paranoia in order to avoid letting an explosive device onto the plane. What it comes down to is that there is simply no other way to safeguard the passengers and crew on the plane.
Public security has not just changed in the airports. You'll find metal detectors and related security devices at any large public gathering, such as sporting events. Now, we find ourselves passing through some sort of security screening nearly everyday. Even high schools are installing such devices to keep guns off campus. Been to a concert lately? You may find yourself subjected to a full pat-down or a search with portable metal detectors, with your bags and belongings checked as well. While these changes were beginning to take place during the 1990s, the terrorist attacks on September 11th certainly spurred many venues into action regarding security upgrades.
It seems that no matter where we go, we will find heightened security measures. Clearly, our society won't be returning to pre-911 security levels ever again. Because it is impossible to stop people from trying to get dangerous devices into crowded areas, all we can do is institute measures to stop them at the gates. The times have changed, and it is now considered necessary to subject passengers, guests, and fans to these measures in order to minimize the threat of attack. The unfortunate reality is that our world is changing, and public safety requires increased security measures.

There is a lot of advice out there about whether or not you should try to keep your purse or wallet from being taken by an attacker. Preventive measures are crucial, of course, for avoiding this scenario, but what happens if you are face to face with someone demanding your money? Should you just hand it over?
This can be a much more complex issue than it seems at first. While most would agree that their lives are worth more than the few dollars in their wallet, there are other factors in play. What if the attacker has a knife or gun? What if you think they're after more than your purse? What if you think they're not really serious at all?
If someone just walks up to you and says "give me your money," do you take the threat seriously? You might want to evaluate what is going on before making your move. For example, if the person demanding your wallet is young and weak, and you are armed with a stun gun or pepper spray canister, perhaps you need not give up your belongings. On the other hand, if the attacker looks big, strong, and serious, you'd probably be safer complying with his orders, whether or not he is armed or you are carrying a self defense device. Regardless, you need to consider the scenario before determining the best course of action.
In most cases, those who demand passerby to hand over their wallet, or try to pickpocket you, are criminals looking to get cash quickly and without a hassle. If this happens in a crowd, perhaps your best course of action is to start yelling or use a personal alarm in order to attract attention to the situation. In the majority of these cases, the attacker will simply run away from the area. On the other hand, if you see a weapon, just hand over your money. It is not worth risking your life to keep it, even if the attacker has no plans to use the weapon against you.
Another option that has been recommended is tossing your wallet or purse in one direction as you run in the other. This has also been recommended for your car keys in the case of a carjacking, so that you don't get caught in your vehicle with the carjacker. With this method, you are sure to get away, though you'll have to give the assailant what they want in order to guarantee your personal safety. Create distance between yourself, your purse, and your attacker as quickly as possible.
Often, people will consider keeping a second "dummy" wallet or a stash of cash in a separate pocket, so that if an attacker demands your money, you can hand this over rather than your real belongings. While this might seem like an unnecessary step, it can actually be a wise decision if you know you'll be walking around a relatively dangerous area. Of course, if this is the case there are even more effective defense steps you should be taking, such as carrying a keychain canister of pepper spray and a personal alarm.

Article Title: 9 Critical Steps to Take if Your Purse of Wallet is Stolen

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
These days, many women seem to carry everything but the kitchen sink in their purse. Even guys carry more and more of the essentials in their pocket or wallet. When your purse or wallet is stolen, it can mean a major upheaval in your daily life, as you're now left without all of these necessities. Besides the problems carrying out your day-to-day activities and getting around without a credit card or money, you're also faced with the potential of identity theft. If you've been the victim of a mugging or purse-snatching, here are nine critical steps to take:
1.Report it to the police. Filling out a police report is essential if you want any non-identifying items, such as iPods and other electronics, to be returned if they are found by the police. Without a police report, the police will have no idea your belongings have been stolen, and you may not be able to go after the thief if they are found.
2.Look for it nearby. Often, a purse thief will grab what they want, discarding the rest quickly in the nearest trashcan or dumpster. Search the immediate area as soon as you realize it's gone, and for an hour or two afterwards. Even if your wallet and credit cards are gone, you may get the rest of the contents back this way.
3.Assume it is gone for good. Still, you can't rely on your diligent searching or the police report as a guarantee that your stuff will be returned; in most cases, you'll never see your purse or its contents again. Consider it gone forever, and take the next steps accordingly.
4.Contact credit card companies immediately. Act quickly, before a thief has the chance to start running up your credit card bill. Contact your bank and credit card companies to report the theft. If you haven't already, now is a great time to copy the fronts and backs of every card in your wallet so that in the event if a theft, you'll know exactly what was stolen and who to contact.
5.Contact the three credit reporting agencies. Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union can place a fraud alert on your account, so that attempts to obtain your credit information for any reason will be "red flagged." This will keep the thief from trying to buy a car or open a new credit card in your name.
6.Get a new driver's license. Be sure to mention that your previous card was stolen, as it can be "cancelled" by the DMV when your new card is reissued.
7.Get new cards for less essential accounts. Even your movie rental card or gym membership card can be taken advantage of by the thief. Though it may not seem important at the time, be sure to let these retailers know to cancel the card.
8.Change your locks. If your keys have been stolen, change the locks to both your home and your car. Remember that thieves who have stolen your wallet have your address; if your keys were in your purse, they now have access to both your vehicle and your home.
9.Suspend cell phone service. If your cell phone has been stolen, ask the cell phone company to suspend service on your account until you replace the phone. Otherwise, the thieves can rack up hundreds of dollars in cell phone charges very quickly.
Having your purse or wallet stolen can be very scary, no matter the circumstances. If it ever happens to you, you are now prepared to deal with the aftermath as quickly as possible.

Article Title: Gated Communities and Home Security

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
While the idea behind living in a gated community is that it is safe from the outside world, part of the danger of living there is that families let their guard down. Gated communities are not always as safe as their residents assume. Here are five things that you must know about security when living in a gated community:
1) Living there makes you a target. Criminals know which homes are the expensive ones, and they tend to be the ones in gated communities. This fact lets the outside world know that you probably have valuable possessions. In the mind of a criminal, breaking into your home will result in a bigger payday. While gated homes may be more difficult to get into, they also promise a bigger reward for these burglars.
2) The gatekeeper might be letting everyone in. While you may assume that only residents are allowed inside the gate, there are other people who may be coming or going every day, such as delivery people, repair workers, housekeepers, and babysitters. There may even be disinterested security guards who do not check the qualifications before letting absolutely anyone through the gates. If this is the case, what good are the gates doing? Check to see how stringent your community's security policies really are. What is required when an unexpected visitor drops by?
3) It may not be necessary to go through the gates to get access to the community. If you look hard enough, there will be other entrance points. A skillful prowler could get in through these holes, even if they are too small to allow a car to pass. Do not assume that because your community has gates and attentive security guards, there is no other way to get inside.
4) Problematic family members can be a part of any family. While you may assume that everyone living in the community wants a safe environment just as much as you do, even in the best families there may be those who would take advantage of the situation. Teenagers driven to commit petty crimes or the uncle who comes to stay for a week may pose a threat to your home security, and the unfortunate reality is that there's no way to stop them at the gates.
5) Families living there let their guard down. Many people living in gated communities assume that the gates and the hired security guards will take care of any potential threat. As a result, they forget to lock their doors and windows every time they leave the house or alarm their home security system. While gates can improve home security by providing an additional layer of protection, they do not negate the need for taking other steps to protect your family.
Many people feeling that living inside a gated community brings added protection and security. While it certainly can provide an additional layer of security, this doesn't always mean that these places are safer than the average neighborhood. No matter where you live, you can't let your guard down or become complacent when it comes to home security.

A bad breakup can happen to the best of women. With some relationships, there is just no way to end things amicably. For any woman who has had enough and is ready to split up with a bad boyfriend, the most important thing to do is make sure there are support systems in place, such as friends and family members upon whom you can rely during this time. For the breakup itself, make sure that there are plenty of people around to avoid a long and drawn-out fight (or worse!). It's important that your ex-boyfriend realizes that there are good influences in your life who will back you up.
No matter how smart or independent you consider yourself, investing a lot of time and energy in a relationship that winds up ending badly can put you in a lot of danger, particularly in the case of abusive boyfriends. After the breakup, you must be aware of the potential dangers to which you are exposed. Breaking things off with an intimidating or potentially dangerous man can be very scary, and will require that you take the necessary precautions to protect yourself.
This is especially true if you lived with the guy while you were together. Getting your ex out of your home can prove to be quite difficult. If he refuses to leave, you may have to get the police involved, which can be both stressful and time-consuming. During this time, it's important to remember that it will get a whole lot better once he's finally gone for good.
The first thing you must do after kicking out a bad boyfriend is changing all of the locks. Even if you trust the ex not to enter your home, do you trust his friends? You never know who he's given the key to or just how badly he may take the breakup. Many women find that even if the breakup went relatively smoothly, the ex just won't leave them alone. This may extend to unwanted phone calls, texts, visits to your work, or even intrusions into your home. A scary situation indeed, you must change the locks so that he no longer has the option of walking right in to your home.
Next, increase the security of your home by installing door and window alarms, buying pepper spray, and using other self defense and home security devices to help you feel more secure in your own home. In fact, any single women should invest in these security devices to keep unwanted intruders out. The same goes for when you leave the house – always carry pepper spray or a personal alarm with you. Of course, this is good advice even for women who haven't recently been through a bad breakup.
Finally, never be afraid to call the police if you feel threatened by a an ex-boyfriend - or by anyone else, for that matter. Regardless of the steps you've taken to protect your personal safety and increase your home security, the aftermath of a bad breakup can be a very scary time.

With recent seismic activity in the news lately, more and more people are finally thinking about what they would do if an earthquake hit a little closer to home. While some parts of the United States are seemingly immune to this particular natural disaster, it does serve as a reminder that everyone should be ready when a natural disaster strikes.
First and foremost, consider the possibility that an earthquake will strike where you live. Some parts of the country, such as California, are known to be at risk of this threat. In fact, scientists now agree that it is almost inevitable that a major earthquake will hit Southern California within the next thirty years. Other areas of the country may be more likely to experience a hurricane or tornado, but many of these same principles apply. Natural disaster preparedness must be a huge part of home security no matter where you live.
For those living in an earthquake zone, the first step is considering how your home is laid out. Do you have a heavy bookshelf full of thick books standing right next to your bed? If so, it may be wise to rearrange the room so that your bookshelf doesn't topple over onto your bed if an earthquake happens while you're sleeping. Remember, earthquakes can happen at any time of the day, while you're anywhere in the home or even away from the house.
Another part of earthquake safety and home security comes in having an adequately stocked earthquake kit, including food, water clothing, first aid supplies, and medications for the whole family. Other essentials include flashlights, radios, and batteries. Another category of supplies often overlooked by those building an earthquake kit are the supplies you may need to make your home inhabitable in the aftermath of a major disaster. Items such as tarps can be invaluable if your home has sustained structural damage.
In addition to the kit, you will also need a plan of action. What do you do during the earthquake? Where should you go afterwards? Locate a safe place outside your home to meet your family after the shaking stops, and determine where you might go if your home is unsafe after the quake. Install smoke alarms and purchase a fire extinguisher; many earthquakes do cause fires.
When an earthquake strikes, move to the strongest, safest part of the home, away from heavy objects, windows, or chimneys. Safe places tend to be standing in a door frame or crouching against a wall or under a very sturdy piece of furniture. Brace yourself, and watch out for falling objects. After the shaking has stopped, check to make sure everyone in the building is safe, administer first aid if necessary, and turn off the gas and water if there is any chance of a leak. Stay away from downed power lines and avoid using the phone unless necessary.
Another critical consideration in the aftermath of an earthquake is home security. The police will probably be spending their time responding to reports of people trapped in buildings and other immediate threats. They will not be paying so much attention to whether there are people lurking around your home or business, trying to take shelter or loot your wares. Remember, there may be significant structural damage compromising the integrity of the building. The power may also be out for an extended period of time, which can be scary even if not in the aftermath of a major disaster. To increase your feeling of security, use battery-powered door and window alarms and arm your family members with pepper spray or other self defense devices.

Article Title: Handcuff Options Available to Civilians

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
When a police officer takes a suspect into custody, one of the first steps is restraining the suspect. Handcuffs, of course, are the most common way of accomplishing this. Handcuffs are used not only by law enforcement officials, but also by civilians who have caught someone breaking into their home or otherwise trying to harm them. In fact, if you plan to defend your home or personal security when under attack, handcuffs are a key addition to your security arsenal.
You might think that all handcuffs are the same, but there is actually a wide variety. Some styles are better choices than others. First, consider the use of the cuffs. Those used by security guards, police officers, and other members of law enforcement are designed to be extremely difficult to pick open with a hair pin or paperclip. These cuffs are designed to restrain for hours at a time. There are also handcuffs for the civilian market that are designed to be very simple to use with little experience. And of course, there are also those designed for recreational use, which should be easier to get out of than those designed to restrain a criminal threat.
There are two main types of handcuff designs available. The first, chain handcuffs, are the most popular type among consumers and law enforcement personnel. They are connected by a chain approximately two inches in length. Little instruction is needed to use these cuffs, but the chain allows more movement than other styles of handcuffs. There are also hinged handcuffs, which are preferred by most corrections officers as they restrict movement more than chain cuffs. Instead of a chain, these cuffs are connected by a hinge, making them more rigid. The hinge does not allow the hands to move closer together or further apart, unlike the chain style. However, they tend to be harder to use by those who have not been trained.
Police-issue handcuffs are the highest quality, and are the best choice for law enforcement or civilian security uses. These cuffs are made of materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminum, from top names such as Smith & Wesson, Peerless, and Chicago Handcuff Co., among many others. There are also good quality handcuffs made by less well known names. Less expensive options tend to be nickel plated, which should last you for many years, especially if you're not a police officer intending to use the cuffs daily.
Regardless of the style you choose, always check the tightness. Once the cuffs have been put on, it should be nearly impossible to loosen them. On the other hand, some cuffs do not have a mechanism to stop them from becoming too tight. If the individual moves around after the cuffs are put on, they could tighten around the wrist too much. Cuffs with a safety catch will not become overly tight.
Both law enforcement officers and civilians have used plastic zip ties as an alternative to handcuffs. While these work well in a time of necessity, they are not ideal, as any assailant with a knife will be able to foil this plan.

As a homeowner, you should be thinking about ways you can reduce the probability of burglars breaking into your home. There are a lot of options when it comes to keeping your home safe, from electronic alarms to exterior lighting to pepper spray. A number of homeowners have also turned to dog barking alarms, one of the more unique products on the market.
Other security alarms only sound after the burglar has already entered the home. A barking dog alarm, on the other hand, keeps intruders from breaking into the home in the first place. These alarms are designed to set off the sound of dogs barking when burglars get within about twenty feet of the home. The goal of this alarm is to create the illusion that there is an angry dog in the home.
The success of this alarm relies greatly upon how realistic the barking sound is. Today, the sounds emanating from a high-quality dog barking alarm are nearly indistinguishable from the barking of a real dog. Many homeowners opt for this alarm because they recognize the deterrent power of having a dog in the home, but don't wish to own a pet dog. Law enforcement statistics show that one of the most effective ways to deter criminal activity on your property is to own a dog. Although an electronic dog is not the real thing, the sound of barking can be a powerful deterrent for burglars. Even those who aren't dog owners can benefit from the sound of a barking dog alarm.
How does a barking dog alarm work? The sound of an unfriendly dog is enough to scare away many burglars. They haven't come prepared to deal with that possibility, and certainly don't want to be attacked by an angry dog as they attempt to break into its owner's home. The mere sound of a dog bark will make anyone think twice before entering. With this type of alarm, you'll have a big dog protecting your property, without the need to actually own a dog.
Barking dog alarms use built-in sensors to detect trespassers even through windows or walls, with a sensitivity of ten to 20 feet. The sound increases as trespassers get closer, as if the dog is getting even angrier at the intruder. Unlike whole-house security alarms, installation is simple and can be done by the homeowner. Many of these alarms can be moved from place to place and installed in almost any area you want them to be in just minutes. Of course, they require much lower maintenance than owning a real dog.
Not just homes, but also apartments, RVs, warehouses, and commercial buildings can be protected by these alarms. A barking dog alarm can be the perfect watchdog. Active and alert 24 hours a day, the sound of a barking dog will not only keep away intruders, but also alert you to the potential issue. A barking dog alarm is a reliable and cost-effective home security system that provides an excellent layer of protection for your house.

Article Title: How Criminals Can Use Your Trash

As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure, but perhaps not in the ways that you'd expect. Unfortunately, these days we must be very careful about the information we share about ourselves. Personal information, even facts that seem innocuous, can affect our personal and home security if they get into the wrong hands.
How does this personal information about us get out? Well, one of the main ways identity thieves and other criminals get their information is through our trash. Your trash, perhaps surprisingly, is a treasure trove of information for thieves. Your bank statements, credit card applications, bills, and any other information that is the least bit personal should be shredded, not simply thrown in the garbage. If you don't have a shredder, get one, and use it often. It's better to err on the side of caution than to leave yourself open to identity theft.
Your trash doesn't just hold information for identity thieves, but also burglars, as well. Your vacation confirmations, receipts for the purchase of jewelry or electronics, and party invitations can indicate to burglars when you'll be away from the home and what they can expect to find if they break in. Information on the lawncare, housecleaning, and utility services you employ can be used by a creative burglar who dresses up in these uniforms to get into your home. Even personal letters, notes containing friends' phone numbers, and shopping lists can be of use. When pieced together, a surprising amount of information can be deciphered about your habits.
Savvy burglars can even use the timing of your trash pickup to their advantage. Trash cans that are put outside several days before the pickup, left by the curb for days after the pickup, or don't get put out on the regular trash day often indicate that the home is empty. When you leave for an extended period of time, your home is at its most vulnerable. If you are on vacation, have a neighbor move your trash cans so that the home looks occupied. When you are at home, avoid placing your garbage outside until the night before trash pickup; otherwise, your trash is simply waiting for criminals to sort through it.
Your garbage can is surprisingly available to thieves the second you put it outside. In fact, in many areas there are no laws at all regarding dumpster diving or taking away personal trash that a homeowner has left by the curb on garbage pickup day. The information is simply there for the taking by any unscrupulous criminal who happens to see it.
While it may seem overzealous to pay so much attention to what we're throwing away, it is much better to be overly cautious than to find yourself the target of identity theft or a home burglary. Everyone needs to be careful with the information they share with the world, even if it's being shared through your garbage. Be careful what goes in that trash can, because you can never really know where it will go from there.

These days, the work world is changing rapidly. More and more people are working at home rather than commuting to the office each day. Whether it has to do with deciding to take on a career as a consultant or freelancer, or perhaps a change in direction at your existing job, working from home is becoming increasingly popular in the United States.
The change to working at home doesn't just mean you get to work in your pajamas. In fact, it can mean a major adjustment in terms of your day-to-day life. Now, you'll have to put up with distractions from family members as you're trying to work. In addition, there is much less division between your home life and your personal life, as they often occur in the same space.
This fact has far-reaching consequences that most people don't consider when they decide to work from home. Now, when a burglar breaks into your home, he is also breaking into your office. If the criminal knows that you work from home, your office might even become the target of attack. Home offices frequently contain expensive computers, digital cameras, and other electronics. These are sought after by criminals because they are so easily sold, providing the criminal with a quick payday.
If your work computer is stolen, it often means much more than simply the cost to replace it. Your laptop may contain years' worth of contacts and finished and unfinished work files, not to mention accounts containing sensitive information about you as well as your employer. In fact, the most financially damaging aspect of a criminal breaking into your home office might be the loss of information.
No matter what kind of home security you have protecting the rest of the house, you might want to invest in additional protection for your home office, such as individual door and window alarms and a sturdy lock on the door. In addition, you must recognize that the value in your home office lies not only in the resale value of electronic devices, but also in the information contained within them. Make a conscious effort to back up your work onto external hard drives, and keep these drives elsewhere, both in other rooms of the home and in locations away from the home. While this step can be tedious and may seem unnecessary, it can save you a lot of explaining if the laptop containing your files is ever stolen.
Those working at home should also reconsider telling everyone they do so. After all, this admission means telling people that you have a lot of expensive equipment in your house. If you do have a lot of electronics around, whether in your home office or for personal use, make sure not to keep them in plain sight, such as in a ground-floor room with a window that has no shades. This way, you won't draw as much attention to them, and will not become such a hot target of burglars.
While there has been a lot of publicity lately about avoiding "work at home scams," the dangers associated with working from home don't stop the minute you make the switch. Whether you are a full-time freelancer or just a workaholic who frequently takes work back to the home office, remember that part of having a home office is taking the necessary steps to protect it. After all, it's one thing if your personal possessions are stolen, but quite another if the burglar has directly impacted your ability to make a living.

Many people are far too generous with their house keys, never thinking that this might come back to harm them. Perhaps you give copies of the key to your housesitter, to your best friends, and of course, to your roommates and their significant others. But what happens when these keys get into the wrong hands?
When a roommate moves out, the standard advice is to change the locks, but very few people actually do this. Even if the roommate left on good terms, you have no way of knowing who now has access to your home. Perhaps she's given a key to an old boyfriend, or to some of her friends. Do you want them showing up in your home unannounced? Even if you think this could never happen to you, the truth is that you never know where these keys end up once they've left your hands.
If your housekey is marked "Do Not Duplicate," as many are, you may assume that you know exactly who has a key. While it is more difficult to get a copy of these keys, it is certainly not impossible. Although locksmiths have the right to deny anyone a copy of this key, a less scrupulous professional may copy these keys without hardly a thought to the reason behind this marking. Making a copy of these keys is not nearly as hard as you might expect; just because it's marked "do not duplicate" doesn't mean that there aren't copies of it out there.
There are other ways for your key to get into the wrong hands than giving it away. What happens when your purse is stolen, with your keys inside? The thief has your drivers license, with your address, as well as your keyring with your house key. This is an immediate sign that you need to change the locks, lest this thief break in to your home by walking straight through the front door. Anytime your house key goes missing, especially if other identifying information has been taken as well, it is a sure sign that your door locks are no longer secure.
Finally, another threat to the safety of your house key comes in the form of the ubiquitous "hide-a-key." While this is certainly a useful device when used appropriately, far too many people use this as an excuse to leave their key basically out in the open. For example, using a hide-a-key shaped like a rock, and then setting it on your deck with no other rocks in sight, is not going to fool anyone. Worse yet are those who keep their spare key under a flower pot or door mat, or resting on top of the door frame. These are the first three places any thief will look for a key! If you are going to hide a key outdoors, use a hide-a-key, and arrange it so that the object looks like it belongs there.
What does all of this mean for the safety of your home? Above all, you must be conscious of exactly where all copies your house keys are. If in doubt, change the locks! This may be a hassle, but it's far better than coming home to find out that a thief has broken in by simply unlocking the front door.

Security alarms on homes and business are one of the most effective crime fighting tools available. However, a system that is constantly sending false alarms is a problem, not only for the homeowner but also for law enforcement. Fault alarm systems cause police to respond to non-emergencies when their time could be spent elsewhere. Repeated calls to the same place is like crying "wolf," and could have a serious impact in the case of a real emergency. We've all heard stories of neighbors irritated by a home alarm constantly going off down the street when they're trying to sleep. For the homeowner, false alarms are unnerving, frustrating, and disruptive.
While the technology behind security alarms is improving constantly, leading to more efficient alarm design, there are also steps you can take as the alarm owner to reduce the incidence of false burglar alarms at your home or business.
1. Choose the right alarm for your family. If you have pets, look for a pet-friendly alarm that won't be triggered by a dog or cat. These alarms will only sound when human intruder crosses their path, reducing false alarms caused by animals. A well designed security system, which has taken into account your lifestyle and movement patterns, should trigger very few if any false alarms.
2. Never leave floating balloons in a room with motion detectors. These are the culprit behind a surprisingly high number of false alarms. The movement of helium balloons leftover from parties and holidays can trigger the alarm.
3. Make sure that the doors and windows are shut completely and locked before setting any alarm. If the door is barely closed, and is blown open by the wind, the alarm will sound. Open doors and windows not only can cause false alarms, but also serve as a direct entry point for potential intruders. Get in the habit of checking all doors and windows before setting your home security alarms.
4. Check the contact between the two alarm sides. If you are experiencing false alarms on a particular door or window, make sure that the alarm has been installed properly.
5. Be aware of the sensing path of motion detector alarms. Do not place anything in their pathway or place objects in areas where they may fall into the path of motion detector alarms.
6. Make sure that authorized individuals know how to shut off the alarm. Whether it requires a password, a security code, or a simple on/off switch, those who are authorized to be in the area should know how to disarm the alarm quickly in the event that they accidentally set it off.
7. Test the alarm system at least once every three months to make sure everything is working properly. Perhaps more troubling than false alarms is the possibility that the alarm won't sound as it should. Open one door or window at a time to make sure every alarm in your home is still functioning as it should. If your system is wireless, the batteries should be replaced frequently.

These days, nowhere is immune to crime, even churches and synagogues. In the last few years, there have been news stories of arson, violent crime, and even sexual assault taking place in our nation's holiest places. Your church or synagogue may not be as safe as it seems initially, especially if you spend time there alone, such as when cleaning, decorating for an event, or planning a sermon. Although acts of violence or crime at a church have traditionally been quite rare, nevertheless, church buildings are becoming increasingly vulnerable to those with criminal intent. No religious denomination is safe from this threat.
You can reduce the likelihood of these threats by installing indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras. You may want to consider hidden cameras to avoid interrupting the serene and timeless environment inside the church. These recordings can help catch criminals or even protect you from liability if someone makes a false claim against your church or synagogue, a critical concern in this day and age.
Churches are generally large public buildings, and while they may seem very safe, this may not always be the case. When the congregation is gathered, this means a relatively large number of people in your church building. With so many people gathered, it is impossible to keep an eye on everyone. While you would think that those in a church would always act honestly and with good intentions, this may not be the case. A key strategy in a church or synagogue is having ushers watch the main door during the service.
Many churches don't have a plan for dealing with thieves, criminals, or even more run-of-the-mill emergencies such as a medical emergency or a natural disaster. If you work in a church, you should spearhead an effort to have all of these policies in place. Furthermore, almost no churches have a plan to deal with what the police call an "active shooter," or someone who has entered the sanctuary with a weapon and is clearly a threat.
This is certainly a scary proposition in any location, but especially in a church. You may want to work with your local law enforcement agency to develop a plan and share it with members of the congregation. Remind church members to take care when walking in the parking lot of the church., and do not leave valuables in plain sight. Taking the appropriate security precautions has become increasingly necessary in all areas of our lives, including at home, out shopping, and even at church.
In addition to the threat of violence, your church is also vulnerable to theft. Churches often have sound systems and AV gear, fancy candelabras, and other expensive goods on public display. These items are relatively easy to steal, and should be stored in a secure room when not in use. Most churches also have a fair amount of cash in the building. Cash control is essential, but it's often missing in churches and synagogues. You may not want to believe that members of your own congregation would be willing to steal from the coffers, but unfortunately, it's a possibility you must watch out for. Always have two people count the cash and checks, and control who has access to the money.

Article Title: Should You Worry About Child Molesters

Should you be worried about convicted child molesters living in your neighborhood? If you think this is none of your business, or that your children are safe from them, think again. According to the US Department of Justice, forty percent of convicted offenders will repeat their crimes within a year of being released from jail. That is nearly half! With two thirds of all victims of sexual assault being under 18 years old, child molestation is a problem that you should certainly be aware of, particularly if you have children at home.
Many parents have an image in their minds of the "typical" criminal, be it a child molester or a burglar, but the truth is, the majority of criminals do not fit this stereotype. While convicted child molesters do tend to be male, there are also females convicted of this crime, such as the recent widely reported cases of female teachers jailed because they had sex with male students.
The truth is, there is no way to tell just from looking at someone that they are a convicted child molesters. You can't count on criminals to give off a "creepy" vibe to alert you to their past. Do you really know the history of those in daily contact with your children, such as teachers and school employees, babysitters, and the people living down the street from you? They seem nice enough, right? These people can turn out to be villains too. All too often the news shows cases of trusted acquaintances who turn out to have dark pasts.
So, how do you spot sex offenders, if you can't tell by looking at them? Since 2008, convicted child molesters have been required to turn in their name, photograph, address, and place of employment. There are currently more than 600,000 registered child molesters living in the United States. Everyone can access these records over the internet in the National Sex Offender Registry. Just enter your zip code, and the profiles of any convicted child molesters in your area will appear.
Do you recognize some familiar faces on this list? If so, what should you do about it? Regardless of whether there are any known child molesters living around them, your children should be warned about "stranger danger" from a young age. According to Department of Justice statistics, most victims of child molestation are under 13. Even young children must know how to protect themselves from these dangers.
How do you protect your child from child molesters, kidnappers, or other threats? In addition to teaching them who to trust and what areas are considered "private," arm your children with a personal safety alarm. Child-friendly alarms shaped like bears or other animals help you child alert adults when someone is threatening or harming them. These versatile alarms can come in handy in a variety of situations, even when your child has gotten lost at the mall or the park. All parents know there's no way to watch their children every moment of every day. For this reason, you must prepare your child to deal with the risks and threats they may be exposed to on a daily basis.

If you are the owner of a retail business, you're probably aware of security alarms, surveillance cameras, and other tried-and-true ways of protecting your investment from theft. However, there are three small investments you should consider to strengthen the security of your business. Did you know that something as small as a pen can have a dramatic affect on your bottom line? Small pen-shaped devices can keep you from taking in fraudulent currency or merchandise returns, as well as protecting your employees from physical threats. These three pen-shaped devices are crucial investments for owners of retail establishments:
Anti-counterfeit pens ensure that you aren't receiving stolen cash. Most useful in businesses that frequently take in large bills, counterfeit detection pens are a wise choice for any business that accepts cash in any amount. This easy-to-use counterfeit detector allows your employees to avoid taking fake funds. Most methods for detecting fakes, such as looking for microscopic writing on the bill or holding it to the light, simply aren't practical for a fast-paced retail situation. This simple pen is swiped across the front of the bill. The chemical ink in a counterfeit detection pen will instantly identify fraudulent bills. Within 48 hours, the mark made by the pen will disappear, leaving the printing on the bill untouched.
Businesses must protect themselves not only from fraudulent purchases, but also from fraudulent returns. Did you know that some unscrupulous shoppers will purchase an item with the intent of returning a different item? For example, they have a broken electronic device at home. They purchase a new one from you, and then return the already-broken device for a full refund. The prevention of property loss is an important topic no matter what type of business you run. While some retail stores are more susceptible to this type of fraud than others, you may be surprised at the wide range of businesses that fall victim to this scheme.
How can you make sure this isn't happening in your store? The answer lies in UV pens. A small mark made in an inconspicuous place on everything you sell will go undetected by the consumer. If there is ever a question about whether the item being returned is the same one that has been sold, a quick check with the proper lightbulb will quickly solve the debate. These UV pens have been used for years by both online and brick-and-mortar sellers who want to be sure that they're not losing money on fraudulent returns. The pens are also useful for home use, where a mark on expensive possessions will aid in their identification and recovery if stolen.
Finally, your business security plan must be concerned not only with property-related crimes, but also with the safety of your employees. Workers in nearly any retail store are at risk when it comes to theft and other crimes. If you want to provide a way for employees to protect themselves from such threats, consider pepper spray pens. These well-disguised self defense products can be kept near the cash register, in plain sight of customers. Their real use is virtually undetectable unless you look closely. If someone should threaten one of your employees, a quick burst from the pepper spray pen will neutralize the situation quickly.

Even strangers can tell a lot about you from your voice. Besides your gender, approximate age, and place of origin, your voice can also suggest your personality, whether you speak timidly or confidently. A voice changer is a device that hides your real voice by changing the pitch and tone so that you're able to project an entirely different persona. This gadget has proven to be very useful for a wide range of situations. What are some of the possible uses of a voice changer?
1. Projecting a stronger presence. Are you a single woman, elderly, or a minor? If so, then answering the phone or talking through the door to a solicitor or delivery-person can be quite dangerous, as it lets them know who is in the home. Voice changers can give you a deep, masculine voice so that anyone calling will not know that you are alone in the house and potentially vulnerable. A voice changer does a great job of disguising your voice so that you have a more powerful-sounding presence, whether on the phone or speaking to a stranger through your front door. This manly voice can make you a much less attractive target for rape, burglary, and a whole host of other crimes.
2. Making anonymous inquiries. Do you want to call a company or individual without identifying who you are? Perhaps you want to pass on an anonymous news tip, or check the history of a prospective bride or groom, without disclosing your identity. The voice changer will keep the person at the other end of the line from discovering who you are from the sound of your voice.
3. Checking up on kids. Your kids surely know your voice on the phone, but what if you call and pretend to be someone else? What kind of information would they willingly provide to a stranger?
4. Practical jokes and hilarious calls to friends. While voice changers are intended to create natural-sounding voices, it is also possible to create voices that are so high or low pitched as to be hilarious. Other voice changers have settings such as 'robot,' which can make for a fun afternoon for the kids if used responsibly.
In addition to these four excellent reasons to use a voice changer, you should also be aware that there are negative ways to use it. For example, a fraud or kidnapper may use the device to disguise their voice, which allows them to communicate to victims without revealing their identity. Still, there are many more useful ways in which the voice changer can protect you from harm.
Voice changers come in a variety of models, including those designed for cell phones, land line phones, and in-person use. Most can reasonably adjust your voice a few octaves higher or lower, for a woman to sound like a man and vice versa. If adjusted too much, or when the setting used is not meant for serious applications, you may get a voice closer to Mickey Mouse, Darth Vader, or a robot than to a natural human voice, although these changers are also very effective at creating a natural-sounding, yet disguised, voice. Some are even so good as to create a convincing voice that will fool even close family and friends.

Are you worried about getting locked out of your home, but wary of keeping a key outside for fear that a burglar might find it? This fear is probably well-placed; nearly all burglars will automatically look under doormats and flower pots to find the hidden key. If this realization has made you wonder what you can do to minimize the home security threat posed by spare keys, you are not alone. Here are a few tips about using hide a keys and other house key safety tips:
Do:
Select a realistic hide-a-key. If you need to leave a key in an accessible place, but don't want to just leave it out in the open, you do have options. The right style of Hide a Key can ensure that you'll never be locked out again, but also keeps burglars from using the key to gain entry into your home.
Place it in a believable location. A solitary rock sitting on your front porch will immediately look like a hide-a-key. Sitting off to the side of the porch, nestled among a group of similar rocks, no one will look twice. Many families do opt for fake rocks; these are great as long as they look realistic next to your home. Other choices, such as a wall thermometer, sprinkler head, or paint can, may look even more believable depending on your home.
Limit the number of key copies. It might make sense to you that keys should be kept in many locations on your property, or that you should give them to all your friends and relatives, but it's too easy to lose track of them this way. Do you know where every copy of your house key is at this second? If not, consider changing the locks to make your home more secure.
Change the locks when moving in and after any security breach. If your purse has recently been stolen with your keys inside, it's time to change the locks. The same goes for after a roommate moves out if you're not sure that all copies of the key have been returned. Changing the locks when you move in might seem like overkill, but you never know how many copies of the key the previous owner gave out. This may seem like a lot of work to go through, but it's a lot better than a burglar, a previous homeowner, or an angry ex-roommate breaking into your home using an old key.
Don't:
Put your keys under the mat or a flower pot, or hang them in plain view inside your home. If you do this, you might as well just leave the door unlocked when you leave, because anyone who wants access will have it.
Carry identification on your keyring. If you lose your house key, but it has no identifying information, anyone who finds it won't know which door it opens. If you lose your key and it's identified with your address, anyone who finds it can break into your home.
Give keys to maintenance and delivery people, or anyone else you don't know well. You don't know if they will rob you while you're gone, or make a copy of the key to use later. If they must be let inside while you're not there, leave the key with a trusted neighbor who will keep an eye on them.
As many as half of all burglaries take place without forced entry, meaning the burglar uses a key to get inside or a door or window has been left unlocked. Far too many homeowners forget to consider the security of their house key when making plans to protect the safety of their family.

Living alone can be an exciting new experience for anyone. Living by your own rules rather than following someone else's desires and routines can feel liberating, but it also comes with some important safety concerns. Especially if you are a woman, living alone requires more precautions in order to stay safe. In order to minimize safety threats, women living alone should follow these basic security principles:
First, do not advertise that you live alone. Be smart about the information you give out to the general public. Avoid making unnecessary comments about your living situation to anyone, such as the cashier at the grocery store or a new acquaintance you've met in any setting. Your mailbox should say only a first initial and last name; the same goes for avoiding identifying information on your answering machine. Keep the curtains closed. An open window giving view to a woman who is constantly alone will make you appear to be an easy target.
Call in for safety checks. Does your mother still say "call me when you get home" anytime you leave her house? Do you ever follow through? If not, you should! The same goes for times when you're heading out to a date, to the bar, or anywhere else alone, particularly at night. Even though you don't have a roommate, you can check in with friends. Always make sure that a friend or family member knows where you are at night and when you plan to be home. Start this habit now so that someone will notice if you don't come home when planned. If you have other friends who live alone, offer to do the same for them.
Don't let strangers into your home for any reason. If you must call a plumber or repairman, have someone come over so you're not alone. Never let strangers in if they arrive unannounced, even if they seem to have a really good excuse. Even opening the door to say 'no' can be a dangerous threat to your home security, as they can easily overpower you and force their way inside.
Protect yourself and your home with security devices such as window and door alarms and pepper spray. These simple alarms will alert you to anyone trying to come in your home, while pepper spray will reduce your chance of becoming a victim of physical assault. Every woman should have these tools at her disposal, whether living alone or with others.
Date carefully. Never give out your home address to someone you've just met; instead, arrange to meet them in a public place, such as a restaurant or coffee shop. If possible, have a friend tag along; at the very least, let someone know where you're going and who you're meeting.
Be cautious when in common areas of the apartment complex. Gyms, mail rooms, parking lots, and laundry rooms can be relatively deserted, especially at night, and are often targeted by thieves and other criminals. Talk to the building managers if these areas are not well lit, and always pay attention to your surroundings when there. Never let strangers into your apartment building, and avoid fumbling with your keys by the door.

Article Title: Self Defense and Public Transportation

If you depend on public transportation to get to work or school, then you surely understand how scary it can be sometimes. Whether you take a train, bus or fast transit system, public transportation will put you face to face with hundreds of strangers along the way. How can you protect yourself?
1) Carry a stun gun or pepper spray. This safety tip is important whether you ride the bus to work or take your own vehicle. You never know where you could end up face to face with danger. Carrying self defense products can help you escape such situations intact.
2) Be aware of the situation. Too many people assume the driver won't let anything bad happen to them. You can't be sure the bus driver will notice a potentially dangerous situation or keep dangerous-looking people from getting on the bus. Of course, they can't keep people off the bus just for looking "scary." Plus, the driver is paying more attention to the road than to the passengers, especially those sitting ten or twenty feet behind him on a crowded bus. Still, if you feel you are at risk, say something to the driver.
3) Sit near the front of the bus. Even though the driver is not really paying attention to you, it is safer to sit near the front of the bus, where you can summon help if needed or make a quick exit.
4) Pay attention to your surroundings. Be cognizant of people getting on and off the bus, instead of reading a book or dozing off. Be aware of those who sit behind you or next to you on an otherwise empty bus.
5) Know the route. Plan ahead of time so that you know how to get home and what time the bus will arrive before you leave. Avoid asking strangers for directions or travel advice. Know when your bus stop is coming up so that you're not at the mercy of strangers telling you when to get off the bus.
6) Travel safely. Avoid traveling at night or through dangerous areas. Travel with friends, if possible. Get off at a safe, well-lit stop, especially at night. Many bus services have special night-time stops or will let you off at a place other than a marked bus stop if it's safer for you to do so.
7) Be wary when getting off the bus. Be on the lookout for suspicious-looking people who get off the bus at the same stop as you and seem to be following behind you. If you think someone might try to follow you off the bus, remain on the bus until you feel it's safe to get off, and don't get off at a deserted stop.
8) Park carefully. If you use a "park and ride" or park at a train or bus station, the most dangerous part of your route might actually begin once you've disembarked. Walking to your car on dark evenings can be scary. Park as close to the stop as possible, in a well-lit and secure area, and carry self defense products to protect your safety.

Article Title: Your Car's Blind Spot - How Dangerous is It?
Author: Richard Armen

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The area directly behind your car or truck is known as the "blind spot." Blind spots, or areas that cannot be seen by the driver through any of the mirrors or windows, exist on all vehicles. Although many drivers confidently claim that they can see anything around their vehicle, this is far from the case. In fact, as the name "blind spot" implies, the area directly behind your car is quite hidden from the view of the driver. Although an adult standing in this area can usually be seen through the mirrors, a small child or a pet may not be, and this has been the cause of far too many tragic accidents.
The 2006 Jeep Commander has been found by Consumer Reports to have the largest blind zone, up to 44 feet behind the vehicle, while smaller cars usually have a much smaller blind zone. Another factor affecting your field of vision is your height; as the driver's height decreases, the blind spot typically grows larger. Some larger vehicles can even get an entire bike or a car in their blind spot; this is one of the reasons why large semi trucks often have stickers on the back of their trucks reminding drivers to stay out of their unusually large blind zone. While SUVs and large trucks have notoriously large blind spots, every car has at least some blind zone, and no matter what vehicle you own, you should be particularly cautious when backing up, lest you unwittingly hit something in your blind spot.
Luckily, today there are devices to prevent this occurrence. Known as "blind spot back up alerts," these devices alert the driver to a presence of an object outside their field of vision. These devices can reduce the likelihood of injury or property damage resulting from the blind spot. Blind spot detectors automatically turn on when you place your vehicle in reverse, and detect objects large or small in the path of the backing vehicle. There are two levels of audible warnings, including an early warning system and an immediate warning, to be sure that you're able to stop in time.
Just how big of a problem is the blind spot? In 2002, there were 349 backing-up incidents involving at least one child, resulting in 104 deaths. Nearly a third of all children killed in vehicular accidents were the victims of backing scenarios. This statistic doesn't even consider the thousand of other accidents involving vehicles backing into adult pedestrians, motorcycle riders, vehicles, or stationary objects. Pulling a vehicle out of the driveway or parking spot is a common act, taken for granted by most drivers without so much as a thought. Many people simply don't realize just how dangerous this can be.
We've all heard of these tragic stories in the news; don't let it happen to you or to those you love. "I just didn't see them" will not be a very comforting excuse if this happens to you. Without the warning system of a back up alert, it is virtually impossible for a driver to know when they are about to back over a toy, a pet, or even a child.

Peppers have been used for defense purposes for thousands of years. The use of a powder made from hot peppers to blind one's enemies has been documented in ancient Japan, China, and India, where cayenne peppers were the most frequently used variety. In Japan, this method was known as a Metsubishi box; it was used by the police, who would blow the chili powder into the eyes of convicted criminals.
With the advent of modern, aerosol-can pepper sprays in the 1960s and 1970s, many of these older methods of using peppers for self defense died out as they were surpassed by more powerful dispersion methods. Because the chemical in hot peppers, capsaicin, was isolated in the 1960s, today's pepper sprays tend to be many times hotter than the weapons made centuries ago by grinding peppers into powder.
Still, natural peppers continue to be developed for use in defense sprays all over the world. One of the newest pepper-based weapons comes out of India, and is based on the hottest known chili pepper in the world. Plans involve using these peppers to make military-grade hand grenades carrying pepper-based tear gas that will be used to immobilize suspects and dispel riots. Plans are also in place to use the same pepper to produce police-grade sprays to control and disperse mobs, as well as self defense sprays for women to carry. While still in development, Indian scientists say the chili-based weapon will immobilize but not kill targets, working in a similar manner as regular pepper sprays but with a much more concentrated chemical.
Developed by the Indian military, this weapon is made of the "ghost chili" or "bhut jolokia," a thumb-sized hot pepper. Listed by Guinness World Records as the spiciest chili in the world, the pepper is grown in northeast India where it is used to flavor dishes and cure stomach problems. Other uses for the ghost pepper include inducing perspiration as a remedy for summer heat; the smell is also known to keep wild elephants and other animals away. Perhaps surprisingly, this potent pepper is regularly eaten in India, although there are also reports of westerners unfamiliar with the pepper being sent to the hospital after attempting to eat one.
The heat of spicy peppers is rated in Scoville Heat Units. Tabasco sauce is 2,500 to 5,000 SHU, while jalapenos measure up to 8,000. The Bhut jolokia has more than a million Scoville units. Said to be powerful enough to stop a charging elephant, one test pegged the three-inch-long pepper at 1,041,427 Scoville Heat Units, twice as hot as the next-hottest tested pepper.
Unlike most modern pepper sprays, these weapons will be based on natural peppers, rather than lab-created chemicals. Still, they are so strong that it is believed that the smell of the pepper will be enough to scare terrorists out of their hideouts. Like commercial pepper sprays, this notoriously hot pepper is non-toxic and does not cause long-term symptoms, despite the painful affects of ingesting or inhaling it. The Bhut jolokia contains extremely high levels of capsaicin, the chemical that is synthesized for commercial pepper sprays.

Article Title: What Do Thieves Want From Your Wallet or Purse - Some Surprising Targets

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
When a thief demands your wallet or purse, it is obvious that they are after your money. Beyond this, there are many other potential targets contained in the purse or wallet. Although identity thieves are becoming more sophisticated, the typical contents of a purse or wallet still hold plenty of useful personal information for them. Although there's no way to guarantee that your purse or wallet will never be stolen, there are ways to lessen the impact of the theft by avoiding carrying around more than you have to. Below are a few important items that you should never carry with you.
1. Social security card. This personal information is like the "holy grail" for identity thieves. Far too many people carry it in their wallet, behind their driver's license. The best place to store this card is in a safety deposit box or in a safe in your home. Think about the last time you actually needed your social security card. Probably the last time you were hired for a new job, right? Otherwise, there is no reason to carry this card in your wallet.
2. Passport or birth certificate. As long as you have your state-issued ID, such as a driver's license, there's no reason to be carrying additional forms of identification. Not only can this aid identity thieves, but if your purse is stolen, you'll have a very difficult time getting a new ID without any form of personal identification.
3. Checkbook. With debit cards and online banking, very few people write checks for routine purchases. Your checkbook contains your name, address, bank account numbers, and bank name. If a thief got ahold of one of your checks, they could clear out your bank account in no time.
4. Extra credit cards. Even if you have several credit accounts open, carry the minimum number of cards in your wallet. The more credit cards you're carrying, the more debt thieves are able to rack up in your name. Plus, you'd have the headache of trying to cancel all of these cards if they are stolen.
5. Excessive cash. This one is almost a no-brainer. Avoid carrying significant amounts of cash at any one time. If you must, keep smaller amounts in different pockets to avoid a catastrophic loss. Use a debit or credit card for large purchases instead of withdrawing large amounts of cash. If the cash is stolen, you will have absolutely no recourse.
6. Photos of your kids. You may find this item surprising, but it can actually be quite dangerous to carry family members' school photos in your wallet, especially if you're in the habit of listing their names and ages on the back. With the information in your wallet, a thief could easily gain access to your kids at school.
7. Passwords. Do you keep a list of your pass codes in your purse or wallet? If ever stolen, this list will be a dream come true for the thief. Do not write down your ATM code, your login information to any website, or your social security number.
Identity theft is among the fastest growing crimes in America. While there are ways to reduce your chance of becoming a victim, such as carrying pepper spray or a stun gun, it's also important to minimize the impact if your purse or wallet were to be stolen.

Did you know that more than a million cars are stolen each year? A recent study showed that every 25 seconds, a car is reported stolen somewhere in the United States. Whether your car is taken by teens joyriding or by a professional thief with an eye towards parting it out, car theft can have a big impact on your life. Avoiding car theft entirely may not be possible, but there are certainly ways to reduce your chance of becoming a victim. Besides the common-sense tactics of keeping the doors locked and the windows rolled up, and always taking the keys with you, here are the top 5 anti-theft devices:
1) The Club. Also known as a bar lock or wheel lock, this device locks up the steering wheel so that the car cannot be driven or steered. Their instantly recognizable shape means that a potential thief will immediately notice the device upon looking in the window of your car, providing a powerful visual deterrent.
2) Audible car alarms. These alarms may be installed at the dealership or after-market. Also known as 'nuisance alarms,' they serve to make a lot of noise to scare away thieves. However, bystanders have gotten so used to them that they may simply go ignored. Still, most car thieves will be unwilling to steal your car as the alarm is blaring for fear of calling attention to themselves. Some car alarms now send a silent alarm to a pager, instead of or in addition to sounding an audible warning.
3) Security tracking devices. Services such as Lojack or Onstar can locate your car if it is stolen, resulting in a faster return. Although more expensive, these GPS-based devices are known to be among the most effective ways of getting your car back after it's been taken. However, they may not be able to stop a thief from taking the vehicle in the first place.
4) Kill switches. These hidden switches can be installed to control your car's ignition. If not switched, the car won't start, even with the key in the ignition. Similarly to the Club steering wheel lock, this device serves as a mechanical lock to keep thieves from being able to drive away in your car. Similar mechanical devices include pedal locks, which prevent the gas pedal from being pressed.
5) Alarm lights or stickers. Also known as "dummy alarms," this fake security system is less expensive than the real thing and often just as effective. Real alarm systems deter thieves from breaking in because they don't want to be caught. A dummy alarm looks like the real thing, but isn't wired in. A blinking light on the dashboard tells experienced thieves that your car is protected by an alarm, and they'll pass it up for a vehicle that is unprotected. Just the sight of an anti-theft device is often enough to make thieves think twice about trying to break into a vehicle.
These are just a few of the anti-theft methods you can use to try to hinder thieves who may be targeting your car. No device is foolproof, but each of the above methods can dramatically reduce your chance of becoming the victim of a car theft.

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions out there when it comes to self defense. Even trained martial artists have fallen for one or more of these myths when preparing for their self defense. Here are the three biggest self-defense myths that seem to trick people over and over again:
1. There is an ultimate self defense style.
Many people spend their time searching for the ultimate self defense course that will teach them everything they need to know to defend themselves against any threat. Others believe that their martial arts style simply can't be beat by any other fighting moves and never take the time to explore other options.
In truth, there are a lot of variables in play when it comes to your ideal self defense style, and it will be different for every person. Whether you're a young woman or a pro linebacker, there is a self defense style that will work for you. What is your size? How strong are you? How confident are you in your physical ability to fight off an attacker? What is your learning style? All of these will affect your choice of self defense method. In fact, you may turn away from physical, martial-arts based methods of self defense entirely, instead choosing to protect yourself with a stun gun, a canister of pepper spray, or any of the dozens of self defense products on the market today.
Instead of searching for the ultimate self defense style, focus on what works for you, whether you're looking for an effective martial arts training course or the ideal product to carry with you to protect you from an attack.
2. You can become an invincible fighter in just a few days.
While there certainly are many DVDs and training programs that can dramatically increase your fighting power very quickly, no self defense method will make you invincible. They offer many invaluable tips for increasing your skill and confidence level, but nothing will make you a one man army, and certainly not over the span of a few hours.
3. Your own two hands are your best weapon.
While you can certainly do a lot of damage with your hands, especially in unarmed combat, the truth is that in a real self-defense situation, you will be up against an armed assailant, more often than not. Empty handed combat is not a very effective strategy for the vast majority of people looking for self defense options. It should only be used as an absolute last defense. Almost anything you can use to fight back with, even the car keys in your purse or a rock on the ground, would be more effective than fighting back empty-handed.
Too many people think that real self defense fighting looks just like a kung-fu movie. In reality, fighting back empty-handed is a lot harder than they make it look. You need to do as much as you can to stack the odds of survival in your favor. Carry a self defense baton, a stun gun, or a canister of pepper spray to give yourself a fighting chance.

Article Title: 7 Critical ATM Safety Tips

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The ATM is very convenient, as it reduces the need to stand in endless lines at the bank to withdraw some cash. Open 24-7, the ATM makes it easy to access your money whenever the need strikes. Today, these machines are located virtually everywhere, from malls and grocery stores to parking lots on nearly every street. Most people simply accept using the ATM as a routine in their life.
However, there is a disadvantage to constantly turning to an ATM. Unfortunately, ATM robberies are relatively simple to pull off, and that makes them an attractive crime. Too many people use the ATM with hardly a thought, certainly never stopping to consider how dangerous it might be. To avoid being robbed as you are using the ATM, consider the following seven safety tips:
1. Avoid using the ATM after dark. Yes, having an ATM that allows withdrawals 24/7 can be very convenient, but it's not very safe. Statistics show that most ATM robberies happen between 7pm and 4am. Criminals know that the reason you're pulling up to the ATM is to get cash. Those with cash in hand in the middle of the night tend to be targets for theft. Avoid withdrawing cash late at night for any reason. If you must use the ATM at night, choose a location inside a grocery store or any other store that is still open and well-lit.
2. Avoid going alone. Try to time your ATM trips so that you're already out and about with someone else. Criminals tend to target those who use the ATM alone, because they will be less able to fight back.
3. Be aware of your surroundings. Using the ATM is one of the most important times to be aware of what's going on around you. Watch for people loitering around the ATM or sitting in their car watching people using the machine. Never let a stranger crowd you or try to view your transaction. If you see suspicious behavior, cancel your transaction, walk away, and use a different ATM. Avoid ATMs located near hedges or other hiding places.
4. Be ready before you reach the machine. It's always a bad idea to fumble in your purse or wallet, looking for your debit card, while you're standing next to the ATM. Have the card out and ready to use long before you reach the machine. Don't forget to fill out any paperwork you need, such as deposit slips, before it's your turn to use the ATM.
5. Protect your PIN. These days, most people know not to give their PIN numbers out to anyone, but far to many people use an easy to remember number like their birth date or the last 4 digits of their social security number. If your wallet is stolen, you can bet that these are the first numbers the thief will try. Never carry your PIN number with your card, and always use your body or hand to shield your PIN if there are people in line behind you at the ATM.
6. Be ready to protect yourself. Most victims of an ATM robbery never see it coming and have no way to defend themselves. By carrying a self defense product, such as a stun gun or canister of pepper spray, you are much less likely to become the victim of an attack, whether it's an ATM robbery or a random street assault.
7. Leave quickly. Never count your cash as you're still standing at the ATM. This is just asking for trouble! Instead, walk back to your car quickly, get in and lock the doors, and drive away. You can count your cash once you're safely away form the ATM.
By following these tips, you can safeguard your personal safety and your hard-earned cash, reducing the risks of an ATM robbery.
