Remember how you look from the outside. Attackers will look out on the streets of such a person who seems distracted and relaxed. Watch where you are going, and pay attention to what is happening around you. The offender does not want to be seen before the crime is committed, so if you go, looking up and occasionally looking around, it is likely that you will drop out of his list of potential victims. If a suspicious person enters the elevator, exit immediately, without waiting for the doors to close. If someone is following you by car, run in the direction opposite to the car's traffic line.
It was late at night and I HAD a long and difficult day at work
