stolen truck

You don't need a gun to defend yourself in this situation:
1) Don't pull over
2) If you do pull over and the thieves pull up behind you, pedal to the metal and let them eat your dust*

* unless they display a bazooka or RPG


When leaving my driveway I always pull to the side of the road, get out to close and lock my gate, reverse that coming home. Previously I've left the truck door open and the engine running. From now on I will turn the truck off and carry the key with me but doubt that would help much with an armed carjacker. I don't know how to further modify my behavior for safety and if I can't feel safe in my own driveway, it may be time to move on. I'm an old lady, I don't need this added to all the other challenges of life in Puna.

I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
