Not everyone is trustworthy as you will read below! Men, if you open this,
please make sure the ladies in your life are informed. This happened in
Toronto but it could happen anywhere. This just gives me the creeps!

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.
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 safe than sorry.

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