When you desire privacy and try to live a more low profile life, you need to think before you do.

Many people do stupid things that announce everything to the world-- things like:

• Showing off their possessions
• Putting boxes of recent purchases out at the curb
• Dressing too fancy in all the wrong places
• Driving all their vehicles in front of everyone
• Showing their money (cash) in public
• Talking too much (Especially when drunk)
• Trusting too many people
• Not destroying documents
• Leaving the house loudly (Particularly when leaving for vacation)

Living a low profile life requires you to think before you do.

Leading a low profile life should help you avoid crime, but nothing is certain, so prepare for the unexpected.

One way to prepare for crime is to consider carrying a "throwaway" fake wallet. One that has some "stuff" in it-- bogus stuff of course. Even a couple of singles.

Having a throwaway wallet gives you something that you can give up to the bad guys-- just be sure there is nothing that can come back to you.

Hey, just an idea . . .

Want another powerful tip to help you lead a low profile life? Ask questions, don't answer them.

People are nosey and ask too many personal questions.  The best way to avoid answering questions is to answer a question with a question.  That's right-- throw it back at them.  Who does this?

• Politicians
• Salespeople
• Low profile people

What kind of questions can you use to redirect a question? The best is an open-ended question-- examples:

• Why do you ask?
• What do you think of __________ ?
• Who needs to know?
• When do you need to know?
• What do you do/use/feel?

As you can see these open-ended questions can't be answered with a simple "Yes" or "No". Rather they are designed to get information from the other party. Ask them enough prying questions and they will more than likely retreat.

Remember to deflect and go on the offense to avoid giving up your information.

If you seek a low profile life it is really up to you . . . to shut your mouth. Stop volunteering your personal and private information.

Everyday people are asking, seeking, and mining for your personal information-- deny them as much as you can. Want an example? I go to a local hardware store and deliberately pay cash-- they always ask for my phone number or zip code.  My answer is always, "Unlisted!".  This harmless marketing research campaign grabs more of my personal data . . . I don't think so.

If someone insists on some data that some form demands-- give them a fake one.

My view is that my personal data is on a need to know basis and most people don't need to know . . .

Stop volunteering information!

Want to communicate safely and in a low profile way? Watch what you say and where you say it. Consider the following to secure your communications:

• Don't write it down
• Don't record it
• Avoid phones
• Avoid closed spaces

Always remember, codes can be broken and be careful of who you trust. Ben Franklin said that two people could keep a secret if one of them was dead . . .

Low profile living depends upon you helping and protecting yourself. One way to protect your privacy is to be careful in destroying and disposing of sensitive documents. Want to be sure it is gone for good? Try these three steps:

• Shred it-- Use a cross cut shredder
• Burn it-- Outdoors in the fire pit
• Compost it-- Let the worms have the ashes

Do these three steps in succession, and your can be sure your privacy is secured.

There are many reasons to create a new identity, hiding from stalkers, ex-spouses, other trouble, and privacy-- my personal favorite. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Come up with a name
  • Use fictional characters
  • Put two first names together
  • Try product or company names
  • More ideas here-- Low Profile Living: How to Pick a Fake Name 
• Decide on your "age"
  • Add or subtract a few years
  • Pick memorable birthdays-- like holidays
• Find a new "image" of yourself
  • Choose a random photo off the internet
  • Alter a photo
• Establish a mailing address
  • Use a remail address
  • Make up a totally fake address
  • Secure a remote mailbox
• Be ready with fake and real non-traceable phone numbers
• Set-up email and social network accounts
  • Use common and uncommon providers
• Make a few "business" cards

In the future, I will drill down a little deeper on some of these topics . . .

Just a quick one-- Forget arrest, have your ever been in the following industries?:

• Teacher
• Child care
• Financial
• Armed forces
• Government security clearance

Your fingerprints are out there. While you aren't in a criminal database, they can be accessed . . .

Be aware that your info is out there and act accordingly.

Hopefully you never find yourself in a bad situation on the road, but if you do-- here are some evasive driving tips to avoid trouble:

• Know the roads
  • Helps avoid dead-ends
  • Don't use the same routes-- learn new ones
  • GPS "Map View" is helpful at night to anticipate turns
• Be sure your car is well maintained
  • Good tires, brakes, and suspension
  • Working headlights and fog lights
  • Always have plenty of gas in your tank
• Set your seat and mirrors right for you all the time
• Park with your car facing out and always be ready to go
• Learn to downshift and upshift-- even in an automatic
  • Confirm your braking distances and times
  • Practice higher speed driving and turning
  • Learn quick, high speed turns like the J-Turn (The turn is the shape of the letter)
• Use hazards and obstacles to your advantage-- run the pursuer into them

One final thought: If you need to ram another car, always use your car's rear end to ram the other car's front end to disable it. Always protect your front end.
