NEW FORM OF KIDNAPPING
Please take a minute to read this. This is very scary and could happen to any of
us.. Seems like every nice thing people do for one another can be perverted.
A new twist on kidnapping from a very smart survivor:
About a month ago there was a woman standing by the mall entrance passing out
flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to
tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women.
The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and
discovered that she had a flat Tire.
She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat Tire. A nice man
dressed in a business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said,
'I noticed you're changing a flat tire. Would you like me to take care of it for
you?'
The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help.. They chatted
amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack
in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off.
The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her car, the man
told her that he left his car around on the other side of the mall, and asked if
she would mind giving him a lift to his car.
She was a little surprised and she asked him why his car was on other side.
He explained that he had seen an old friend in the mall that he hadn't seen for
some time and they had a bite to eat, visited for a while, and he got turned
around in the mall and left through the wrong exit, and now he was running late.
The woman hated to tell him 'no' because he had just rescued her from having to
change her flat tire all by herself, but she! felt un easy.(Trust that gut
feeling!)
Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk before
shutting it and before he asked her for a ride to his car.
She told him that she'd be happy to drive him around to his car, But she just
remembered one last thing she needed to buy. (Smart woman!!)
She said she would only be a few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait
for her; she would be as quick as possible.
She hurried into the mall, and told a security guard what had happened, the
guard came out to her car with her, but the man had left. They opened the trunk,
took out his locked briefcase and took it down to the police station.
The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID so they could return it to the
man). What they found was rope, duct tape, and knives. When the police checked
her 'flat' tire, there was nothing wrong with it; the air had simply been let
out. It was obvious what the man's intention was, and obvious that he had
carefully thought it out in advance. The woman was blessed to have escaped harm.
How much worse it would have been if she had children with her and had them wait
in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had a baby strapped into a
car seat? Or if she'd gone against her judgment and given him a lift?
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life.
A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to
the ladies only; but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters,
etc...., you may want to pass it on to them, as well.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that The world we
live in has a lot of crazies in it. They do walk amongst us. Better to be safe
P.S. - i came across this through email, may someone knows about it, but may it will help someone who doesn't know about it. that's why i share it here.
have a nice day..........
Not that this couldnt happen but its an old urban legend and false.
