And then I present the right advice to avoid it. That well could be, logically to do the contrary to the bad advise before given.
Introduction
Even though to be kidnapped is one of the worst tragedies that can happen to a human being, some personalities were kidnapped because consciously or unconsciously they wanted to be kidnapped, and in order to achieve it they developed bad habits that ended up facilitating their kidnapping.

Of course an intelligent, sensible person will understand the true purpose of these pages: to allow you to evaluate your life habits in order to correct them so you avoid this tragedy that, if not fatal, most of the time will take away your desire to go on living.
Therefore, it is worth it to interpret these 96 tips correctly, take them seriously and go on living in peace.
List of candidates
If you do not excel in any of the following activities or professions, do not spend time reading this book. Statistics show that they are the most prime targets to be kidnapped and, in that case, the first bad tip would be that you should become an outstanding:
Politician, diplomat, banker, artist, business leader, farmer, clergyman, athlete, ruler, physician, actor, sports figure, military officer, sculptor, oil tycoon, architect, engineer, manager, veterinarian, contractor, economist, academician, accountant, journalist, lawyer, spokesperson, president, pilot, policeman, transporter, bullfighter, magnate, editor, singer, painter, musician, publicist, heir, writer, entertainer, salesman, dentist, judge… etc.
Maybe you are still on time to stand out and, in that case, you should hurry and start putting in practice some bad safety habits so you can facilitate your kidnappers efforts.
1
Do not determine your risk factor
Something very important for someone's safety is determining his or her risk factor. This is easy, since we only need to analyze the degree of danger (DD) that hangs over you, take away the current protection level (CPL) and the result will be your risk factor (RF).
DD CPL RF
Great 5 Good 3 High 5-4
Medium 3 Fair 1 Medium 3-2
Low 1 Poor 0 Low 1-0
DD-CPL=RF
For example, if you are the president of a multi-national oil company, you can assign a value of 5 to your kidnapping degree of danger.
If you have a security officer, travel in an armored vehicle, always have a lead vehicle go in front of you, your bodyguards have been carefully screened, they are motivated, and well trained. The weapons, radios, bullet proof vests and vehicles are of excellent quality, and they have life insurance, then give your current protection level a value of 3; in this case if you subtract 3 from 5, you will get 2, which means that there is a medium risk factor.
However, since your purpose is to be kidnapped, don't determine your risk factor and that way you will easily succeed.
The strongest your belief that you are under no danger and that your protection is good and, therefore, your risk factor is low, the better chances you will have to be kidnapped. (5)

Establish a routine
Spend time organizing a pattern of behavior. When you have it, read, practice it and make all necessary adjustments. Follow it to the tee. Always leave your house at the same time. Take the same route. Stop and have a coffee in the same place everyday. Arrive at work at the same time. When your workday is over, return home following the same route.
Many people, especially high-ranking executives, were kidnapped because they had established behavior patterns that they followed strictly. And this has an explanation: When somebody is planning a kidnapping, the most important thing is to get to know the victim's ways. This is the source for planning, organizing and executing a kidnapping; and if the victim follows a pattern, much better.
I met a manager of an important dairy processing plant who, thanks to following a pattern, was kidnapped. When somebody recommended that he should vary his routine, he answered that it was part of his methodology and that was the reason he was so productive; and he really was at the time he was kidnapped.
He lost a considerable amount of money, the product of years of hard labor, as well as other priceless things.
To summarize the bad tip: There is nothing better to be kidnapped than a good unchangeable pattern.
But if you finally understand that it is better do not to be kidnapping, then never be routinely, so this helps enormously at the kidnapper. (5)
