Attn. Women Drivers.

.IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

     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 t o 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 women's cars while they're pumping gas
     or at grocery stores in the nig httime. 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 yo ur car when approaching it for reentry, 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,

     Barbara Baker, Secretary Directorate of Training U.S. Army Military
     Police
     School

     THIS IS TOO SERIOUS ... DO NOT DELETE PLEASE PASS IT ON!!

This is actually an Urban Legend, but it could happen.

Thanks Danny!!!

Its nice to see that a fellow TCC'er is looking out for the ladies of TCC making sure we are all safe...

I've heard of people going in the back of the car while the lady pumps gas. That is true, and its actually happened!

i thought this was gonna be something about women belonging in the kitchen or something.

man, i was hoping for an offensive, derogatory, yet false joke, and you deliver this crap.

My mom emails me this stuff, i finally asked her why... "to see what you say"... all these emails forwards are stupid. this could happen anywhere... notice these emails don't have cities or where it would happen... or you only hear about this over email, not TV, radio, or any other stupid medium to scare you sheep into acting a different way.

Good post, btw.
Strength in numbers, sense of belonging, sense of family, sense of love, etc.. or false sense, however you look at it..

actually, someone told me this was in the news the other day. they finally caught some guy who 30 years ago followed and killed a girl after she left the gas station. he made a really small puncture in her tire and followed her when she left the gas station. she eventually pulled over to the side on the highway when her tire went flat and he pretended to offer her his assistance, shortly afterwards he raped and killed her, burning her body.

i'm not sure if this is real (dunno how you'd puncture a tire just a bit), just thought i'd share

Tego, gangs in Toronto are about asserting dominance. They usually wear colours (like blue) and go about harassing the public for money.. protection, etc... (tickets)

must be a group of gang who are skinny as hell that can stay under the car and not get burnt... HAHA

but again, i've always thought about the idea someone can sneak into your car if you go pump gas alone at night (or even possibly during a quiet day in the daytime)... doesn't matter you're a lady or guy... should always be aware of your surrounding and make sure no one sneak into your car before you drive away (just like you would inspect your doors before you leaving a parking lot)...
