It's a pretty scary world that we live in.
Females, especially, are on high alert due to rising cases of harassment and sexual assault. Some of these perps are even getting more creative.
Case in point: a woman recently discovered a tracker in her purse after a night out.
She ended up sharing her story in a now-viral video on TikTok.
There are a number of ways women do so, like holding their keys between their fingers on their way home, or never walking alone at night.
Women are often attacked or kidnapped, and are taught from a young age how to act, dress, and survive in a world that can so often be against them.
Like putting trackers in women's purpose.
That's exactly what happened to a young woman, whose story we are about to tell you.
In a TikTok video, she shared that she had recently gone out with a group of friends for a night out.
She carried a purse with her that night to carry table decorations.
This small, Bluetooth-enabled device is used to find missing items by attaching them to the tile.
Thankfully, Sheridan hadn't headed home first. She also made sure to remove the battery right away.
Many told her to contact the police, while another reassured her that the Tile device is out of range after 200 feet.
Some even accused her of making up the story. She has since defended herself against those rumors.
"I think it’s just smart for everyone to be aware. I wanted to share my story just so others can be aware—like a ‘keep in mind.’ Do women need to be on high alert?"
"I shared in the video that I don’t often carry a purse (and I don’t because I lose things easily—oh, the irony)."
"I only had a few things in my purse that night and I knew everything that was in there."
"I know for a fact that there was not a Tile in my purse before I left for the night and unfortunately, as the night went on, I ended up with a Tile in my purse." she said.
"A kid’s backpack, gym bag, purse, etc. This doesn’t mean we should live in fear, it just means we should be aware!"
Take her advice, it's smart!
