New form of kidnapping

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. She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat. 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 uneasy. (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 she could be. 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.  (Amen...thank you, God!)

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.  Better to be safe than sorry.

I thought to share this with you guy's.  I get a e-mail from a person who send it to me. Please tell your family and friend's about this.  I beg of you this could save a life or more.

I am glad the woman got away, and its sad that they didnt catch the guy because he will probably try to do it again and again until he gets caught.  ::)  :P

On the other hand this remind me of spam mail.. sorry to say so  :-\

More than likely a legend. But its good info to share with women I agree.

There is another precaution we should take.Ã,  When getting gas, I take my purse with me, and make Lauren get out of the car to stand beside of me, I take my key and lock my doors.

Most car jacking occur when you go inside to pay, most people will leave children in the car, their purse, car unlock with the keys in the ignition.

I think it is reported on the news very often where a infant or small child was taken with the car. I know how time consuming it is to remove an infant from the car seat but it should be worth it.Ã,  I guess you could lock the door with the children in there but that in itself scares me also.Ã,  Especially if it is summer, it can get very hot quickly and should you be delayed by long lines inside then something worst could happened.

Most gas stations now will allow you to pay at the tank with a debit card, if you have young children with you, that is how I would pay.

We have to be two steps ahead of the criminal mind.Ã,  They think and plan how they are going to commit their crime and you should think and plan also.
