A friend of mine ran into a gruesome situation on her way into work this morning, which should serve as a reminder to every woman (and hey, even man) that we're not made of steel.

My friend was driving in on the freeway with her boyfriend and noticed something that looked like legs on the side of the road. After turning around they discovered that it was infact legs attached to a young (20's - 30's) woman who had been dumped in the bushes on the side of the road. Luckily the woman was still alive but her face and head was severely beaten. She was dissorrented, wearing only a tank top and a mini skirt and had no shoes. The woman didn't know who or where she was. She must have been out the better part of the night because apparentally she was blue. Alive yes, but really really messed up.

This serves as a reminder to us all, espically women, don't walk at night alone.

Don't walk to you car alone no matter how close you think it is.

ALWAYS carry your ID in a pocket, not in your purse. It's best to keep it in a pocket with nothing else in it so if someone is going through your pockets they might skip the pocket with your ID because it appears that there is nothing in it.

ALWAYS let someone know where you are at night. ALWAYS let someone know your route home and when you get home.

Saftey. It's important to be aware that though it isn't common there are weirdos out there.
