Default To all the ladies : Very important READ!!! (from IL)

Message: A new twist to Kidnapping (NOT a joke).
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.
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 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 around to his car, but she just remembered
one last thing she needed to buy.

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.
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.
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 safe than sorry.

PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY! JUST A WARNING TO
ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE YOUR HEAD!!!



Please pass this along to every woman you care about

How'd he let the air out of the tires, if the only they found in the briefcase was rope, tape, and a knife?

Yes, it's just another Internet Hoax...

You can press in the valve with your fingernail, or even a pen or something. Not that big of a deal.
