I hope you take a cell phone with you when you go out. That way you can at least dial 911 even if you have to put the phone back in your pocket to get away. If you've got one with a camera that's even better. I don't have a camera on mine (mine's the Safelink so it's just very basic) but if you do you can snap a pic of a car or a person.

I'm glad you're okay.
