why?

because his bejewelled score is impossible

Wife's car got burgled yesterday. Boot lock was broken into.

We've taken new safety measures including parking the singapore car in a safer place but am silently freaking out now.

erm, she's in JB?

She works in JB, yes.

Never been targeted before until now.

hmmmmm

Don't want to freak the wife out either by freaking out.

Who is already freaked out.

Give her a big-ass sword.

Thought about it.

or a taser

anyway, the risk comes with the job. She jus has to practice a little common sense

get a mys car instead

She does have one. Thing is - a malaysian car costs $20 a day to bring into singapore.

Right now she's just parking her Singapore car in a safe location and moving to her workplace in a malaysian car.

if she is alone, then remember to change routines or spots every once in a while

NEVER NEVER repeat her routine too often for too long.

I will remind her. I'm trying to think of any anti-personnel weaponry that I can give her that's legal and easy to use.

ermmm... the only one is the loud alarm

but really, its no point.

Prevention is better than cure.

have someone walk her to her car.

dun repeat routines too often

Okay.

park in different places.

I'll do that.

check surroundings and make sure its clear before entering a car

lock the car door immediately after entering

That being said, there's really no telling who and how a person gets targetted.

sometimes its jus random

I'm thinking of giving her a bunch of pepper (not pepper spray) to throw into someone's eyes if she gets attacked.

Yeah, I'm thinking so as well.

but most of the time, its the repeated routines that get them

hahaha

dude... she has to take it out of her bag

no use lah

especially if it is in surprise.

Not if she puts it in strategic places. Beside the car lock, etc.

It's something.

you're assuming she reaches the door in time

most of the time... they will allow her to open up the car door

I'm given to understand that's how they attack. Over the car door etc.

many singaporeans unlock the car a fair distance away...

Or put it together with her car key. She has to take it out to open the door.

then a panic alarm would do jus as well

jus one tug and the alarm goes off.

those are legal

I'll go look for one.

Thanks.

moreover, you wouldn't wan to get her so paranoid that she attacks an innocent fellow walking past her.

that plus keeping to some of those tips above, she should be safe.

hahahaha, she's malaysian you know. She knows these things better than I do I suspect.

ask ur wife to go learn judo..

sometimes, they need reminding... and its precisely because they are local they tend to forget.

I will.

Lonewolf - my wife is a girly girl ku niang. I asked her about taking self defense courses before. Didn't go down too well.

I mean "girly girl ku niang" in the best possible way of course.

Well some basic self defence moves would be sufficient..

nothing too hard to master.

but then again, if you panic and break easily under pressure, the self defense moves won't come in helpful at all cos your mind just goes

blank

Grace> hahahaha... Do u know How how many hours u gotta put in to be even jus competent in the basics of basics?

You dun really have the chance to tell your attacker... "wait wait... I know this one"

U know what is the most common yet toughest move to get out of? A really firm hair grip on long hair from the rear.

knows that it's very hard to use self-defense moves in the heat of the moment.

Well, we all have the fight or flight nature in all of us. Its survior instinct. I know course i have beaten up a molester before

But then again its me we are talking me..

Never mind TK, try attacking me the next time by surprise. At least i have an excuse to beat u up

marvels at how his worry about -his wife- can transform into yet another TK vs Ms Grace issue.

grace> *shurgs* its sad that you'll ever think i would attack you...

*shrugs* yeah TK I think you dont have the guts to..

AlmostInfamous i think she needs someone accompanying her. Maybe a good friend or any family members

I'll advise her to get one of her nurses to follow her to the car when she leaves.

Grace> you're right. I dun have the guts to. You feminist will come out crying OOOOoo... he hit a women and shit.

do not mistake not retaliating as a sign of weakness.

I agree with TK's last sentence.

and I think you shld ask her to be extra careful. no choice if she wanna stay there.

Orh Tk if you say so

*pat pat*

im a living testimony to that sentence. but i agree with Mistress Grace, yr wife needs abit of moves if possible.

well buy pointer shoes for ur wife so when something happened, ur wife can use the shoe to hit the attacker's weak point.

Hahahahahahaha

lonewolf, thats the worst suggestion I heard all day... Seriously

Heh. It's not as bad an idea as you think, though it's a trade off between balance and damage in this case.

put her in a elf suit

ah Almostinfamous, i think u have never worn pointer heels before right?

I'm sure I haven't yes.

Hard to balance in and if your feet hurt from all the walking i think u wont be able to do much damage

in addition,as a woman i would rather die than ruin my nice shoes

I've seen what a stomp by one of those things do. Pierces right through a foot, if done correctly. So the damage is there.

Yeah, if you can balance in it and take aim... And in addition is the heels sttrong enough to do the impacting

*are

Yes, that's what I meant. On the other hand, it's also a lot easier to drag you off your feet.

well, i am sorry if it is not a gd suggest. But it can be a good self weapon against the attacker.

why dun just carry a knife or a spike?

wah lau.

well it is a bit too extreme?

killer shoes isn't?

lol..well i think it is ok.. coz it is shoes.. knife or spike.. it can used to kill pple?

no lah. Can use to scratch your back

knife scratch back
