Safety warning: CCTV footage shows an armed suspect robbing a woman walking alone in the street. Incidents like this are a reminder that criminals often target people they believe are vulnerable or distracted. Always stay alert, avoid walking alone where possible, especially in quiet areas or after dark, and remain aware of your surroundings. Keep valuables out of sight, avoid using your phone while walking, and trust your instincts if something feels wrong. If you sense danger, move quickly to a busy, well-lit area or seek help immediately. Personal safety should always come first- no belongings are worth risking your life over.

PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is warning our community about an increase in jewelry distraction thefts occurring throughout Sacramento County and surrounding areas. The suspects carrying out these crimes often appear friendly and non-threatening, using conversation (such as asking for directions), fake gifts, hugs, "blessings," or requests for assistance to distract victims while secretly removing valuable jewelry. Suspects often replace stolen jewelry with fake items and use force in some cases. The majority of victims have been: • Older adults (ages 50–70+) • Asian community members • Both men and women have been targeted Recent incidents have been reported at and near: • Costco • Sam's Club • Walmart • Lowe's • Home Depot • 99 Ranch Market • SF Market • Other high-traffic business areas There have been instances where suspects have followed victims home before committing the theft. Keep expensive jewelry covered or leave it at home whenever possible. Never allow strangers to place jewelry, scarves, or gifts around your neck. Be cautious of unsolicited hugs, blessings, or unnecessary physical contact. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially in parking lots and shopping centers. If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and leave the area. If you become a victim or witness suspicious activity, report it immediately. If the crime is occurring, call 911. For non-emergency reporting, contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office at 916-874-5115. Preserve any evidence left at the scene, such as fake jewelry. Make note of vehicle and suspect descriptions. Help us spread the word by sharing this post with your family, friends, and neighbors. Awareness is one of the best ways to prevent these crimes.

🚨Please show this to your parents and grandparents🚨 Ever heard that saying about a wolf in sheep's clothes? Well that's how distraction thefts work. Criminals are taking advantage of people's trust - especially vulnerable people, including seniors. Protect yourselves by: ✔️Being cautious of strangers engaging you in public ✔️Being wary of friendly individuals that are getting too close ✔️Keeping your valuables secure and out of sight ✔️Reporting distraction thefts if you witness or fall victim to them P.S. Don't be rude to strangers! But be wary of those that are trying to get into your personal space. #YRP #YorkRegion #DeedsSpeak

If you want to learn how to break ankles, you have to learn how to shift the weight of your defender, and usually, you have to shift it twice! You’re going to have to make your moves at the right distance and use double jabs! If you make your move too close you’ll get jammed, if you make it too far away, your guy will recover. When you jab one way and go, it can work, but most good defenders can recover from one jab. However, when you double jab, defenders bite hard on the second move and can’t recover from their recovery! Learning to jab with your stutters, skips, your head and shoulders, and even your stick will allow you to shift your defender’s weight! Last, change your angle of approach! The hardest way to beat your guy is straight at him, if you angle left or right then attack you’ll get a natural shade advantage that will open up an opportunity!

Motorists are being urged to remain alert at petrol filling stations following more reports of theft. In this incident a few weeks ago, a cellphone was stolen. The victim said the phone was stolen while it was placed on the lap and “not even visible to the eye”, suggesting the suspects may have been closely monitoring the victim before striking. Safety tips for motorists at petrol stations: • Keep phones, wallets and handbags out of sight at all times. • Avoid placing valuables on your lap, passenger seat or dashboard. • Lock your doors when attendants are not assisting you. • Stay aware of people approaching your vehicle unnecessarily. • Be cautious of distractions, as suspects often work in groups. • If using your phone for payments or directions, put it away immediately afterwards. • Report suspicious behaviour to petrol station management and SAPS. • Where possible, use filling stations with visible security presence and CCTV monitoring. Motorists are reminded that criminals often target busy petrol stations and shopping areas where drivers may be distracted.

Please share this with the older people in your life. An elderly woman in her 80s was targeted in a distraction theft in Hayes Town this week. As she walked home with her mobility walker, she was approached by someone asking for directions to the gurdwara and handed some papers. While she was distracted, the person slipped two gold rings off her hand. Police say this is a known tactic used by organised thieves, getting close under a friendly pretext, using touch and handed objects to distract, then removing jewellery. Officers have warned that elderly people are being targeted this way across Hayes, Osterley and Southall, and that many victims feel too ashamed to report it. There is nothing to be ashamed of. These are professional criminals who do this deliberately. How to protect yourself and your elders: • Be wary of strangers who get close or ask for directions in the street • Keep your distance if someone tries to hand you papers or touch your hands • Consider leaving valuable rings and jewellery at home when out • Report it. Every report helps police catch them If you have information or were a victim, contact police on 101 quoting CAD 3631/12Jun26, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. 📍 Hayes 🎥 Source: Metropolitan Police #ub1ub2 #london #hayes #news

She’s in the front seat holding her cute lemon-print tumbler, trying to film a fun promotion video for her cup. Her husband (off camera) starts shooting her down, saying she’ll never make it on TikTok and never make any money from it. She turns to him and says, “You have no faith in me” — all while their kids are in the back seat watching the whole exchange. Your partner should be your biggest cheerleader, even when they don’t fully understand or agree with your dream yet. It can feel incredibly hurtful when the person you love most doesn’t seem to have your back in those moments. Have you ever been excited about something you were building only to be met with doubt from your partner or someone close to you?

With the recent shopping rush, we’ve started to see pickpockets active in our community again. Last year, between mid-November and early January, Halton Police received 110 reports of phone thefts targeting shoppers — a reminder of how quickly these crimes can happen. This video shows how pickpockets work: they often operate in groups, blend into busy areas like malls and community events, and use distractions to steal phones, wallets, and other valuables without being noticed. Protect yourself: • Keep your phone and wallet in your front pockets. • Don’t store all valuables in one place. • Avoid distractions such as earbuds. • Never set your items down, even for a moment. If you discover something missing, please report it to our non-emergency line: 905-825-4777. Stay alert and stay safe.

Many people on Indian roads get distracted by chit chat, using their phones, or doing other activities while driving or riding. At such times, they often don't realize that their vehicle is drifting to the left or right, which can lead to accidents. Also If you are overtaking a vehicle in this situation, always use your horn to alert the driver or rider and proceed with caution. Location - Odisha Bhubaneswar gothapatna

Keeping up with your friends doesn’t have to be complicated. But that’s how it feels today on other apps when updates from your crew are buried beneath brands, influencers, and videos of strangers dancing. We believe that sharing your life with your friends should be simple and fun. Introducing Capture by amo. It’s the camera you create — made just for friends. Create your camera by choosing from a range of styles, then get on with capturing daily life how you really see it. No time to check if you look good (you look great, btw). No followers to count. And no algorithms to keep you in the app. Choose to capture in 0.5, superzoom, or frontback mode, then tilt to unveil captures in a feed that’s just for friends. Once there’s nothing new to view, Capture shuts down so that you can get off your phone. On amo, your profile, friendships, feed, and settings are shared across the apps. Trying a new amo app takes no time at all as your info (and your friends!) are already waiting for you.

🚨Governor DeSantis applauds the Florida House for addressing property taxes but says his plan is NOT going to happen in regular session, but he will call a SPECIAL SESSION. “It's going to get done and you guys are going to be able to go to the polls and be able to vote something that's really meaningful. I just think at the end of the day, your home is your castle. You either own it or you don't, right? And if you have to keep paying tax to the government your whole life just to live on your own property, do you really own it then if they can take it back from you if you don't pay?”

A Facebook Marketplace dirt bike sale ended with a man dead. And the hardest part is this: He was right. He got handed fake money. He had every reason to be angry. He had every reason to feel disrespected. But being right didn’t keep him alive. That’s the lesson. If somebody scams you, robs you, or runs off with your property, your ego is going to scream at you to chase them. Don’t. Get the plate. Get the description. Get video if you can. Call the police. Go home to your family. Because the person willing to scam you in your own driveway may also be the person willing to shoot you over nothing. And once you chase, corner, or confront them, the situation can flip fast — legally and physically. This isn’t victim blaming. This is survival. Being right is worth a lot. It is not worth dying over. Would you chase someone who just scammed you on Facebook Marketplace — or would you let it go and call police? Drop your answer below, and send this to somebody who sells anything online.
