Being smart about trash

So I passed a house this morning that had a nice large box out in front from a brand new 60" plasma TV. The problem there is that they are letting every passerby know that there is a nice new television just on the other side of the door, all you have to do is come in and take it. It's a temptation that you shouldn't be broadcasting.

A better idea may have been to break the box up into small pieces and place it in a bag, or in another nondescript box, or to take the box to the dump or recycling center by itself. This is a smart thing to do not just over Christmas, but all year around.

Times are tough right now and people are getting more and more desperate out there. Don't give anyone the temptation to do something wrong.

Keep your head on a swivel.

Rapist on the loose in Harrisburg

CBS news reported an apparent rape in Harrisburg on Saturday. Their reporter called me on Sunday, asking if I could talk to her about self-defense and to pay a visit to the studio. Here is the story - we need to keep a look out for trouble not just for us but for our loved ones as well.

Keep your head on a swivel.

It seems that lately there are more and more attacks happening out there. The economy is bad, people are getting more and more desperate, and there are those that are more willing to do whatever they have to to take what is yours. I'll be updating the blog a lot more often, offering tips and advice for situational awareness and keeping your senses about you. Feel free to comment and we can discuss.
