Beware of thieves in Car Parks

[JBR]

@Mups

Haha, Yes. Do you remember them?
That’s what we’re advised to do, anyway.

MInd you, what’s the alternative? Someone like me is hardly likely to reach up and punch a couple of thieves on the nose, especially if they’ve got a knife.

Hairspray!

OMG Vlad, I was rocking with laughter at that

He’s quite impossible, isn’t he Sheba.
I don’t know what we’re going to do with him.

(Luv your humour though, Vlad).

@Mups

Then he walked off scratching his bum.

Thats the one! Completely unaware of the BBC news reporter trying to say his piece to camera…!

[Mups]

@JBR

Hairspray!

Yes, that might work, as long as he would hang about long enough for me to rummage through my shopping to find some. I doubt many women happen to carry it about in their hand just incase.

I reckon he did it BECAUSE the reporter was there. That would be more like Harbal.
We can’t take him anywhere.

Made me larf out loud too
Lordruthio asked what’s so funny, I said you really don’t want to know!

That’s right, Ruthio. We mustn’t let young Vlad lead Lord Ruthio astray.

They should. Not illegal. Easy to put in your handbag. A spray in the eyes and they won’t be troubling anyone for a while.

[Mups]

Yes, you’re probably right JBR.
Perhaps I will have a look round and see if I can get one of those little travel size ones that’s easy to drop in a pocket.

Wouldn’t it be likely to explode in heat like this though?
I know that hand sanitizer stuff is highly flammable.

P.S. Just looked this up, and found this:

Aerosol spray cans are pressurized canisters that are known to explode when exposed to extreme heat, that’s why manufacturers warn users of these cans not to throw them into an open flame, even when empty. Two recent incidents outline the dangers of having these everyday items in your car."

Perhaps just a kids water pistol full of very soapy water or something similar, would be safer?
Or better still, perhaps more women should carry one of those rape alarms where you just pull the button out. That would be good.

Do any ladies on here carry a rape alarm?

Yes, certainly in a public place (though perhaps not a sink housing estate) they would be very suitable.

A year ago, I saw a woman in the reflection of the cash machine I was using, standing behind me off to the side a bit, looking like she was watching something on her phone. It was the way she was holding it upright which made me wonder. It dawned on me that she may be actually filming people putting in their pin numbers, so I quickly changed mine in another ATM just in case.

If we need cash while out and about, V will operate the ATM and I will stand with my back to the wall and scan the passers by making sure everyone is aware they are being watched while we are at the hole in the wall.

[PixieKnuckles]

So the watcher watches the watching?

@PixieKnuckles

So the watcher watches the watching?

Oh, yes. Nothing like keeping potential scammers on their tootsies.

Ladies be careful putting a handbag in the footwell or passenger seat if out shopping alone. SiL had her handbag swiped in Asda that way a few years ago. Make sure you lock doors before putting the bag down.
