Please pass this along to all the women you know.....
This actually happened a few weeks ago on the M3 Fleet services. It
was early evening and a young girl stopped to get petrol. She filled
her tank and walked into the store to pay for her petrol.
The cashier told her "Don't pay for your petrol yet.....walk around
the store for a while and act as if you're picking up some other
things to buy. A man just got into the back of your car. I've called the police and they're
on their way."
When the police arrived, they found the man in the back seat of the
girl's car and asked him what he was doing. He eventually admitted he was joining
a gang and the initiation to join is to kidnap a woman and bring her
back to the gang to be raped by every member of the gang. If the woman
was still alive by the time they finish with her then they let her go.
According to the police that night, there are new gangs forming here
originating from London.
The scary part of this is because the guy didn't have a weapon on him.
The police could only charge him with trespassing.... He's back on the
street and free to try again. Please be aware of what's going on
around you and for your family and friends. Any woman, you or one of your
family and friends could be the next victim.
Please forward this on to everyone you know. Please do not discard
this message it is very important that everyone knows what is
happening. Please be careful when leaving your vehicle and make sure it is ALWAYS
locked to prevent this from happening to you.
FROM MET POLICE :
Subject: POLICE INFORMATION - (NOT A JOKE) - ACTUAL SAFETY ADVICE
This first bit is mainly for women, but men please read it and send
it on to any women you care about. The second bit is a warning to all
of us!
Some sound advice from Northants Police.
Women.... In light of the recent kidnapping and now murder of Leigh
Mathews it is important to read the following info for your
own safety.
Things women should know to stay safe:
Please Take the time to read these pointers. There may just be one or
two you hadn't thought of. After reading this, forward it to someone
you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we
live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your
body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. If a robber asks for your handbag, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it
away from you.... he is probably more interested in your handbag than
you and he will go for the handbag. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the boot of a car: Kickout the back
tail lights and stick your arm through the hole and start waving. The
driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4.Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating,
working, etc., and just sit (doing their cheque book, or making a
list etc....). DON'T DO THIS! A predator could be watching you, and this is the
perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, and
attack you. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND
LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a carpark:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger
side floor, and check the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car
from the passenger door. Most attackers surprise their victims by pulling
them into their van while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and
the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest
your car, you may want to walk back into the shop, or work, and
get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE
SAFE THAN SORRY (and better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the lift instead of the stairs. Stairwells are
places you are likely to be alone and the perfect crime spot.
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his
control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running
target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a
vital organ. RUN!
8. Women often try to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may
get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a
good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies
of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help"
into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his
next victim.
9. Another Safety Point although a sinister ploy: Someone heard a
crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the
police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police
told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door." The woman then said
that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was
worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The
policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do,
DO NOT open the door." The police told the women they believe
a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded
and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone
has dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had
several calls by women saying that they hear babies' cries outside
their doors.....always when the woman is home alone at night.
Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby.
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. Send this to any
woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we
live in has a lot of dangerous people in it and it's better safe than sorry.
