Kiddnapping

Subject: Kidnap Warning:

Please read this, a new twist on kidnapping, 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 business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to

her and said, "I noticed you're changing a flat tire. Wou ld 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 he 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 said he got turned around in the mall and left through the wrong exit,

and now he was running late and his car was clear around on the other side

of the mall.

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.

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. She told the man that he

could 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 intentions were, and obvious that he had

carefully thought it out in advance.

The woman was blessed to have escaped unharmed.

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, sist ers, 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 safe than sorry.

PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY!

JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE YOUR HEAD!!!

Even though it maybe in your heart to help out a stranger in need, remember this could happen.

In my opinion honestly: I think all women reguardless of your age should take a self defense class. Men for that matter too.

Unfortunately this is an urban legend: http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/hoaxes/hoa...ase+Hoax&Page=7

However, I think that the general sentiment of the e-mail is wise: Be careful ladies!

Yes it may be an Urban ledgen but it could also have happened somewhere. This is the reason for my posting this. It is so sick and twisted that some people would do this to others.

I totally agree. It's just that with those hoax e-mails, they never really seem to die.

I seem to get them all the time

I know someone who was kidnapped from outside a store. She was taken away from the city and shot. All the guy did was approach her and ask her what time it was.

Be very careful.
