    Letting an abductor take you to a second location reduces your odds of getting out alive. Follow these steps to thwart them early.
    Warning
    Fighting back against an assailant is risky and could lead to injury.
    Step 1: Make a fuss
    Make a lot of noise. At the initial point of contact, your abductor's biggest fear is having attention called to them. Raise enough of a ruckus and they may end up running away from you.
    Tip
    Yelling "FIRE" is more effective at getting attention than yelling "HELP."
    Step 2: Fight back
    Fight back however you can - kick, bite, claw, or punch. Research shows you have a better chance of escaping a weaponless attacker by resisting. It may even be worth the risk if they're brandishing a gun or knife, in order to prevent them taking you to a second location.
    Tip
    If they grab your arm, wave it up and behind you in a rapid windmill motion, which can break their grip.
    Step 3: Escape a moving car
    If the abductor gets you into a vehicle, try to jump out in a populated area where you can quickly get help. If you're locked in a trunk, feel around for a latch to release the lock, or find the wire connected to the taillights and yank it hard enough to cause them to go out, which may attract a police officer.
    Step 4: Crash the car
    If you're in the car and can't open a door to jump out, crash the car by yanking the steering wheel, or try to throw it into another gear. If your captor stops the car for any reason, jam something into the ignition so the car won't restart.
    Step 5: Leave clues
    Leave clues in the car, and wherever you're taken along the way - a piece of jewelry, a clump of your hair, a distinctive button. They could help police pinpoint your location.
    Step 6: Observe your surroundings
    If they bring you to another location, keep your eyes open for possible escape routes. Flip the lights on and off repeatedly if you can; cops may recognize that as a distress signal. Observe your captor's routine so you can gauge a good time to try to break free.
    Tip
    Ask to use the bathroom, and then jam a toilet with something. An overflowing toilet might provide the distraction you need to escape, or get someone else's attention.
    Step 7: Call 911
    If you manage to dial 911, leave the phone connected, and then get away from it. If you don't stay with the phone, the kidnapper might not notice it's been dialed, and this could buy enough time for the police to trace your location.
    Step 8: Leave evidence
    Try to claw your attacker so that, if the worst happens, their DNA will be under your fingernails.
    Did You Know?
    The majority of adult abductions are women who are taken by men they know, whether it's a partner, an ex, or an acquaintance.

      Mega Gamer But they'll call to report a fire. Also, that would just waste precious minutes that could be used to aid the victim. The kidnapper could flee the area before emergency services even arrive.

      Why on Earth would they run away from hearing "fire!" OUTDOORS? That makes absolutely no sense. Any normal person will always go to check if they hear "fire!" because any normal person knows that a fire can have gigantic consequences if not stopped immediately. There have been multiple cases of victims yelling "Help" and people not responding even if they hear the cries, because people are scared of whatever is going on or not taking it serious enough. However when people yell "Fire!" far more people will come running to help, first to see if there really is a fire and second to see if people are trapped, there could be little kids or old people needing help for example.

    Good advice here- NEVER let a kidnapper take you to another location- your chance for survival diminishes greatly- its better to jump from a speeding car than to end up at the other location.
    A kidnappers level of control over their victims increases with each moment of captivity.

    Little side tip:
    If you recognise that someone is weird or following you call someone - even if it's a fake call - and say loud enough for him to hear that you'll be there in a few minutes. Thjs will probably make him hesitate because he knows someone is waiting for you.
    Or act weird. Start talking to yourself or the streetlamp. Jump around or giggle like a maniac
