Security precations or “just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me”.

[genius]

Thought I'd share some precautions I take if I plan to monger:
1. I remove everything from my wallet except the cash I intend to spend ("sorry - this is all the cash I have with me"), my AAA card in case I get stuck, my low limit credit card I only use for internet purchases or emergencies and my driver's license. I keep a little more cash in my car's sun visor "in case she is really, really worth it" in the case of SW's or I put the extra cash in my back pocket in where it doesn't show in the case of escorts or AMPs.
2. My smart phone is locked in my trunk or at home on the charger ("sorry dear that you couldn't reach me - I forgot that my phone was on the charger"). I carry my cheepo burner with me. When not in use my burner is kept in my tool box in the trunk (looks just like an old flip phone I had from years back - if discovered "I keep it because even though it is inactivated it can still be used to dial 911" (as per above -I've been known to sometimes forget my smartphone at home on the charger - its a bitch getting old and forgetful)
3. My fob is not carried with me to visit an escort or an AMP - I take the key out and an lock the door with it. I park my car in a shopping center or on the street and walk to where the escort or AMP is. It is very easy for someone (crook or LE) to find my car amongst many other parked cars using my fob - with my key - not so easy. In the case of SW's I put the fob in my console.
4. My house key and garage door opener is not in the car.
5. My gym bag is in my trunk. My condoms, that normally are in a little pocket in my shave kit, are removed and either put in my pants pocket or my lying in the little cubby in front of my shift lever. I've only been stopped a couple of times over the years by LE in an area someone of my, ahem, complexion shouldn't be in and when the cop found my condoms and asked "and what are these for" my answer was "I use them to prevent disease" - I think it is a good idea not to lie to cops - it pisses them off.

Hey Genius I like your list. One problem that some of us may have is the high end cars don't have keys.You only have a fob.The condom situation can be quite precarious especially if you don't use them with your SO. What do you say if your SO finds them?

When I first started I was more like that. I would walk into a session with minimal items on me, one of which was a bar of soap that was the same brand I use at home.

Over the years I have mellowed. Most of my security precautions fall on the side of selecting who to see. I've gone into sessions with my bag from work. Laptop, iPad, my normal wallet contents.

Did a cop actually ask what condoms were for??????

I have such a car - fob only. However the fob has an emergency key for the door in it in case the fob's battery goes dead. Key slides right out of the fob - wrap the fob in little piece of aluminum foil or use a little metal box to put it in.

Yeah - the condom situation is quite dicey - my SO simply has no reason or desire to go into my smelly gym bag, take out my hanging locker shave kit (razor, shampoo, soap dish, aftershave lotion) unzip the little pocket, take out the little plastic container of Q-tips and underneath that find some condoms.

I posted this somewhere on UG couple maybe 10 years ago. I was heading thru W and actually on my way to Club Babylon around noon time when a cop car saw my car, did a U turn and followed me down a side street and into the industrial area. Pulled me over, asked why I was in the area (I suspect the offense was "driving while white"). Said "We are both men and I know why you are in the are - looking for hookers" (long time ago - I think that was the wording). I answered "Prostitution is against the law" (I don't lie to cops). Then one cop searched every inch of my car while the other searched me. Found the condoms in my pants pocket and asked the question. When I gave him the answer he realized that I was being totally respectful, not treating him as a fool with some stupid lies, and was not about to give him anything to incriminate me.

When they were done searching I asked them if I was free to go and they said yes.

My fob has a key but that is for the glove compartment in case you want to lock something in it. I use it for valet parking if I have something important or valuable in the car. He or she gets the fob with the missing key. By doors have only handles.

My SO goes through everything there is nothing that is to sacred. She isn't looking to catch me in anything but she constantly cleaning things and going through my car and asking why do you still have this piece of paper. My SO makes it very difficult not on purpose mind you and makes me overly cautious.

WOW!!!! I think I would have shit in my pants. Very quick thinking. Something similar happen to me when I was going through W and Igot pulled over late at night. They too asked what I was doing there and fortunately I had a friend in a neighboring town that I dropped off and my navigation for the fastest route home had me go through the area. He just said that it wasn't safe for guys looking like me in this area. I don't know if I would have reacted as quickly as you did in that circumstance.

What do you do if the battery in the fob goes dead - how will you get into the car? The driver's side handle of my car has a keyhole - all other handles do not. Check your owners manual - the key hole on the drivers side is hidden and you remove a piece of trim to expose it.

I wouldn't want to be coming back from a weeklong trip, arriving at midnight in airport parking and find out my fob is dead.

My issue is with point 5. Having condoms is not worth the risk of SA finding them. The girl your gonna see will have them 99/100 times.

You bring up a valid point. It has never happened to me before, that is my fob dying. I think I need to read my owners manual to find out if there is a way to get into my car without the fob. It reminds me of a time when my friends car died and he asked me for a jump. Yeah no problem. For the next 10 minutes or so I was searching to find my battery which I never did. Next day I spoke with the dealership and they said the battery is in a hidden panel in your trunk. He said it is a pain in the neck to get to it. As far as helping someone out to jump there car just pass and hope they understand. Basically you have to take the trunk apart to get to it.
