The striking young woman at left is the late Anna Loginova, a 29-year-old Russian bodyguard who died trying to prevent her Porsche from being carjacked. Loginova worked for wealthy, high-profile Russian clients and believed her gender was an asset to doing her job: "Many restaurants now do not allow a guard inside," she once said. "You can take a female bodyguard inside, she will sit down at the table and nobody would guess that she's a weapon herself — and can react appropriately in any dangerous situation." When a thief tried to steal her car, Loginova clung to the door handle and ended up being dragged through the streets of Moscow at high speeds as the driver tried to get away. She suffered serious injuries and died on the scene. [Daily Mail]
