I do not know if this is a true story but better safe than sorry.
====================================================================
LET THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING
To the men : warn your loved ones !
To the women : remember this !
About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega 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 notice 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 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
and visited for a while; 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 to his car, but she just
remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She said she would only be 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 motive 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 had she waited 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 than sorry.
PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY!
JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE YOUR HEAD!!!
