What's that Lassie? Timmy fell down a well!?

Holy smoke

I just tried and it works. Police said they are fine. Or fining me. On of these.

It might be moving directly away from you, but better not take the 50/50 chances.

Unless you have outstanding warrants for your arrest 😂 in which case you can a) pull over and be arrested or b) drive it like you stole it and escape 😀

mental note: stop biting my nails...just in case...

Maybe. This isn't guaranteed. And you have to keep your hands clean after. Life ain't like CSI, alas.

While this is ok, if that persons DNA is not on file anywhere, this action can be meaningless. Pay attention to the description of a person, especially their shoes. Many people wear the same shoes for months at a time.

And they will be able to identify your killer in the morgue!

True! I once did this to a random creep that followed me home and assaulted me. It was used as evidence in court and got him locked up.

Isn't this useless if the person has no record or never been printed?

Does the same go for acrylic nails? My real nails are the same length underneath.

Pulling hair works - theirs, and yours. And if they happen to have scratched you, try squeezing some blood into a less-obvious spot. Every know - every sign you were somewhere could help.

What Nails.

Haha like police in my country will do a DNA test for someone who triedto grab me :')))))

Can we poke their hair too? ♡ You wanna get me? You'll have to deal with my waxing strips!

Sounds more like “Great Tip to Let Police Find Out Who Took Your Life” than a great tip that might help save your life.

Biting an attacker hard enough to draw blood can also give them an infection requiring medical treatment. A killer was once found because of this.

I hope not to be a corpse in the end and forensics collecting DNA under the finger nails

Unless it's the police. That is assaulting an officer and will add to the charges.

Guess this is out of my option (biting maybe?) as I am an extreme example of nail-biting, leaving only 2/3 or 1/2 of nails from each of my fingers 😭

This is, if you get away.

Well that's half good advice. They'll be caught and end up with a lethal injection (they can choose the old gas chamber in my state) but when that happens you'll be dead for 20+ years.

I've heard that you should try to take AND leave as much trace evidence as possible, to help apprehend the perpetrator. Scratch, claw, bite, pull hair, pull carpet or fabric, spit, pee, vomit... the more you can interact with the environment, even though you might not survive, you've greatly increased the evidence at the crime scene.

However, be sure to scratch with THREE fingers (not 4). When they're caught they may explain away an ordinary scratch, but a 3-finger scratch will stand out!

You can use an upward palm heel strike to attempt to break your attacker's nose. Maintain a wide leg stance to power your blow, then strike your attacker in an upward motion from under the nostrils. You can also try striking the sides of the nose's bridge to stun the attacker. If necessary, follow up with a strike to the head, chest, or foot to help increase the chances of your escape. As soon as possible, you should run away from the attacker, yell for help, and call emergency services.

Great I didn't get away and now he's pulling my fingernails off... Should gone for the eyes after all.

How about I grab them first....???

good tip

Not "IN" but under... until, of course, they wash their hands well.

If you ever try to grab someone and they scratch you, cut off their hands and take them with you.

From where i watch CSI, a hair will be found on your body no matter what. so chill..

Oh s**t, i have to scratch my wife every night

Bite them. Just bite a chunk of their flesh off. Remember not to eat it tho

For any given value of "simply".

If you smell gas and electrical devices are *on* do not turn them off - the same logic applies. The current is already flowing and there are no additional sparks to worry about.

One can only hope.
