Visibility at night is a big issue among the Amish. There are a variety of technologies employed by various Amish groups to make themselves more easily seen. Swartzentruber Amish often use just a single lamp hung on the side of the carriage and minimal reflective tape. SMV triangles are typically not found among the Swartzentruber-related communities. Probably the most elaborate lighting systems I've noticed are those among some Amish in the Elkhart/Lagrange Counties settleme...

1. I just saw a news clip where a man was trying to snatch a woman’s purse and she was holding on for dear life. They struggled for a few minutes. The lady saws the guy had a knife to cut the strap but couldn’t get it to work. Um. Let me see if I can get this right. The man had a knife. And she was still hanging on to the purse?
