OT - ANOTHER SAFETY MEASURE

[Guest guest]

I received this in an email and thought it worthy to pass along. Effie

 

 

Importance: High

INFORM Family and Friends.

A friend stopped at a pay-at-the-pump gas station to get gas. Once she

filled her gas tank and after paying at the pump and starting to leave, the

voice of the attendant inside came over the speaker. He told her that something

happened with her card and that she needed to come inside to pay. The lady was

confused because the transaction showed complete and approved. She relayed that

to him and was getting ready to leave but the attendant, once again, urged her

to come in to pay or there'd be trouble. She proceeded to go inside and started

arguing with the attendant about his threat. He told her to calm down and listen

carefully:

He said that while she was pumping gas, a guy slipped into the back seat of

her car on the other side and the attendant had already called the police.

 

She became frightened and looked out in time to see her car door open and

the guy slip out. The report is that the new gang initiation thing is to bring

back a woman and/or her car. One way they are doing this is crawling under girls

/ women's cars while they're pumping gas or at grocery stores in the nighttime.

The other way is slipping into

unattended cars and kidnapping the women.

 

Please pass this on to other women, young and old alike. Be extra careful

going to and from your car at night. If at all possible, don't go alone!

This is real!!

 

The message:

 

1. ALWAYS lock your car doors, even if you're gone for just a second!

 

2. Check underneath your car when approaching it for re-entry, and check in the

back before getting in.

 

3. Always be aware of your surroundings and of other individuals in your general

vicinity, particularly at night!

 

Send this to everyone so your friends can take precaution.

 

AND GUYS...YOU TELL ANY WOMEN YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS Thanks,

This

 

legend first appeared in 1967 and quickly caught on, becoming one of the

favorite scary legends of that period. In addition to circulating orally, it

showed up in Ann Landers' column in 1982, presented as a harrowing

experience that had befallen the letter writer's friend.

Despite the legend's many incarnations and long history, there's no record

of its ever coming true. It's a cautionary tale, warning us to be vigilant

of our surroundings.
