On July 16, in north Austin, nine coworkers got together at one of their homes. One of the employees was followed home by someone that was looking to do wrong. He got friends together and they kicked in the door and started shooting and beating the guests. How terrifying for the people inside. Four ended up in the hospital and many things were taken from the house. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt. (Read the News Story Here)
My passion is to stop crimes like this from happening, not by shooting it out, or fighting like Steven Seagal in a movie. With a couple little things this whole entire crime could have been avoided. It's a little CIA spy stuff, but super simple, here's how...
1. Be aware of people around you (watch for cars following you from work). If something feels wrong, it probably is.
2. Check your suspicion. Drive around the same block a couple times. If the same car follows you around the block, then you know, if the car leaves, you didn't lose anything.
3. If someone is following you, Don't Go Home! Go to a crowded place, a police station, or call the police. That's what they are paid for! It could be work (police can be busy sometimes) and time for you, but the alternative could be the above story.
Most criminals are looking for an easy target. If you are aware and drive around most will leave. Be a harder target and keep yourself out of trouble.
Stay Safe,
