I was victim of an armed robbery at my incall place, and yes I could have avoided it if I'd not become so complacent. I also had a burglary at another property partly related to the work.
Both these incidents made me wish I'd taken advice on alarm systems, both events cost me far more than the installation of such items.
Yes I screamed, so loud that my noise was raspy for the next few days, but solid walls prevented the sound from carrying.
A few years ago an Escort was held in a room within a busy hotel for 12 hours, repeatedly attacked, it was only her husband returning home to find her missing who raised the alarm.
Can I ask...these robberies? Were they a result of punters telling other people where you were working from? Do you know which punters, if this is the case?
The burglary was the result of someone local working out what I did, so thought/knew I'd have cash in the house and deciding I'd be an easy target.
The armed robbery was a set up by a client, who rebooked under a new name and unregistered number. I didn't look when opened the door to let him in, so didn't see the mask.
Police and I worked out who he was from his phone even though it was a throwaway topped up with cash.
Both had been in my property on a previous occasion.
Thanks for the explanation. Looking back, was there anything about the client you felt was iffy (when he first visited you)? x
Yes and no. At the time I'd seen a couple of new clients, all of whom were nervous-types, he appeared to be another of those, there were some things which I specifically remembered but they don't necessarily make someone an armed robber.
For example both times he wanted my latest appointment BUT I have seen many genuine clients who'd not harm a fly, who also wanted the same and if I turned down all requests for my 'latest' appointment then I'd have missed out on a lot of very nice clients and severely restricted my working time, and who's to know when I go to the bank.
Main thing was that he assumed I'd not use banks, the main thing that made me vulnerable was the fact that I opened the door without looking and had never invested in any sort of alarm system.
Paris has posted a lot about the security systems she uses, and I'm not surprised that she's not been attacked or robbed, because she takes it seriously.
Shortly afterwards I approached someone about martial arts/self-defence lessons and the first thing they told me was "improve your home security".
The burglary only happened because I had a yale lock right by a single pane of glass.
Simple stuff like that is really easy to do.
My block of flats is very well covered with cctv and there are signs up stating this it's also very well lit up at night as well
Stuff I use is simple easy to get stuff there is some really good wire free / wireless portable stuff that you can get now
But I have a spy hole camera that replaces the normal spy whole and wired into a small tv so I can see who is at my door
Alarms with an indoor box rather than outside - the sound is so loud it's ear spliting no one could stay in there flat / home when It goes off
My alarm if it goes off has the option of ringing / texting or both several pre set numbers to contact friend / family to let them know the alarms gone off
I also have personal alarm fobs that if pressed will activate the alarm as well as a few panic buttons
It might seem like im a paranoid but because my flat has been my main base for years and always will be ive invested in a few things over the years
I also always leave my keys in the door as I don't want to be trying to find my keys
All my doors have locks / keys and bolts with the keys in them so I can lock myself in
I will take one of my dogs with me if I'm working late , he is a cheap effective body guard and only wants some tripe as a treat. I actually feel 100 percent safe with him as he is so huge and very well trained. A lot of my clients have asked is that someone downstairs when he moves around or snores and show them the dog when they leave if they are feeling brave
I personally would never use apartment especially those that are well known / well used by other escorts mainly because you don't know who has had the keys / copied them . In Ireland when I used to work there girls were always getting robbed due to keys being copied and getting set up by other escorts
At least in a hotel the worse is your asked to leave , I would rather be asked to leave at midnight in my underwear than robbed / attacked in an apartment
