Stun Gun

The situation back then is way different than now.  Before, everybody knows everybody in the neighborhood. These days however, some people just want to be bothered and just want to live and do their own thing.  Gone are the days where everyone says Hello to everybody. Hence the security is changed too.   It will take you sometime to trust someone.  

Just be glad that there are  gadgets that can protect you in case of emergency situations.  I found this cute  Cheetah 2.5 million volt stun gun online and it has a built in flashlight.  So if you are attacked  somewhere you can just use it to protect yourself.  

I remember when we first moved in here, a guy was coming door to door selling  a pepper spray to us.  He told us that it's better to get ready  especially if you have kids in order to protect yourself from attacker.  I would choose stun gun over pepper spray though.
