Keep your doors and windows locked.

If someone should jump in your (unlocked) car while you are stopped at a light; quickly remove your keys and toss them out the window as far away as possible.

• If he runs for the keys, run in the opposite direction.

• If you can’t outrun him, lock your doors, stay in the car; turn on your flashers; lay on the horn and try to make yourself so visible he will get as far away as possible from you.

• If you must, fake a heart attack. Do anything to avoid to being alone with your assailant.

If you do find yourself locked up in a trunk and being driven somewhere, poke out the back tail light and wave your hand or foot out of the hole hoping  to attract attention from other drivers.

If you can reach it, dial 911 on your cell phone.

Listen for tell signs of where you might be driving to.

Look for anything you can use as a weapon or to alert attention from others.
