[MR] OT: Safety warning for ladies.

[chagankhulan at clan-whitewing.org]

Actually, this warning pre-dates Oprah by quite a bit but it used to be
about stolen cash - now it covers far more possibilities.  Some public
facilities no longer have the hooks on the doors - they are on the side
walls.  However, Mom always told me to do 2 things. 1.Put the purse on the
floor and slip your foot through the handle if it was a short handle or
strap - OR - 2. Don't carry your purse into a public facility at all. 
Lock it in the trunk of the car.

And a note to our gentlemen friends who carry back packs and such.  Those
are also targets of opportunity, guys.

Best advice - don't carry your credit cards or large sums of money in a
purse or back pack...carry them in more secure, personal places.  Same
goes for your ID's such as drivers license or work ID or those very
important security badge ID's.
