Jacked Up in Miami

Did anybody hear about the woman and baby that were carjacked in Miami back in December 2008? She was sitting in her Mitsubishi SUV in the parking lot, while waiting for her husband. A man approached the vehicle and attempted to carjack her. She struggled with the man and in the process he punched her 18-month old baby. He was just caught this last Wednesday January 21, 2009. He had been on the run; doing who knows what to other unsuspecting victims for over a month.

Questions for us all to consider and take action in our own lives:

Why weren't her doors locked while sitting in the parking lot? Why didn't she notice the stranger approaching the car and then lock the doors? If she had a pepper spray on her key ring, in her purse or in the glove box, she may have been able to stop the attack and save her child from injury. This world is a very dangerous place. We must always be prepared to fight back! For the cost of a pizza dinner, all woman can be ready ... isn't it worth it?
