9. IF YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING
FOLLOWED
I know - our worst nightmare. But it needn't be if you keep your
wits about you and act fast. First try crossing a road or turning
back on yourself. If they continue to follow, assume your
suspicions are right and get help. Try pretty much anywhere
there are people - pub, bar, cafe, shop, service station etc or
knock on the nearest door where the lights are on. If the worst
happens and you think an attack is imminent set off your ila
Dusk alarm and run as fast as your can towards an area
where you know there will be people. Leave your shoes behind
and even your handbag if that's what he's after - you are far
more valuable than property.
