#personal-safety

"Ten minutes after I left the building, the bike was on the move. First, the AirTag pinged at another block of flats the other side of a park."

It's very scary to have something taken from you. It's really made me more aware of my surroundings and just be safe because you never know, it's scary.

"One day it just hit me - I'm a young woman out running at 4 a.m. with nothing to protect myself. It's a less lethal option and it will give you a chance to get away if need be."

I thought the police would protect me from the mob, but they did nothing to intervene, she said. I felt sheer terror, the woman recalled. I realized at that point... I had nowhere to go.
