    Thank you for the tips. I like the elbow tip.

    I have never seen a car that you could "kick the tail lights out. " It is not like they are a window. Behind the glass is a metal housing that holds the bulb.
    Otherwise, good tips.

    Also, remember a weak point on anyone's body is their little finger. If someone grabs you with their hand over your mouth, grab their little finger and bend it the wrong way.

    Another good suggestion is that when you are walking to your car in a parking lot, walk with your purse between you and the parked cars - not with the purse where someone can drive by and snatch it. I also hold my purse close to my body when walking in a parking lot or when a lot of people are around me.

    Very good advice, Ditter.One that was pulled on me many years ago was that all of my electrics went out. I noticed that the neighbours' lights were still OK, so I survived with a torch and candles for the night as the fuse box was on the outside of the building. Police investigation the next morning confirmed tampering and the security was upgraded. However, this is a similar trick to the water one that you mention. Remain safe.
