Important Information please read

I was sent this and didn't know where to post it. I felt I wanted to pass it on to all of you, so you can be aware and SAFE x


An important message from the Police -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 replied, 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 is a new gang 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.

Something similar to this happened at Tescos garage on Cardiff Road in
Newport recently, but luckily the cashier saw the man get into her car.
We have to be so careful these days.

Please be aware of what's going on around you and for your family and
friends. LADIES 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.

MET POLICE Subject: POLICE INFORMATION - NOT A JOKE - ACTUAL SAFETY
ADVICE
first bit is mainly for women, but boys 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 for us all as we all sometimes forget to take our
common sense with us when we go out. This is from Northants Police..
Women.... In light of the recent kidnapping and now murder of Leigh
Mathews, I think 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: Kick out 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).

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 car park:
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 vans 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 horrible
places 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. As women, we are always trying 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: Someone just told me that her friend 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 lady 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.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry
recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that
someone 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 when they're 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 crazies in it and it's better safe than sorry.

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then you
lock all your doors, start the engine and shift or put into reverse. You
look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and you

I have also heard of a similar car-jacking scheme being carried out by
leaving a traffic cone in the road in a relatively quiet area...so you
stop and get out of your car to move it...leaving your engine
running...sure you can work out the rest.

BE AWARE! PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND TOGETHER

Wow the ideas some people come up with. Thanks for that Eddie

It is sad we have to be so vigilant and continually on our guard for all these tricks and scams

I was going to forward it to my mum but she's such a nervous driver as it is....

Thanks for posting this Eddie, it is useful information for so many women.
Can I just add a little tip? When I had to drive around the city late at night I used to put my handbag under my seat but leave an old handbag on the passenger seat. Put some old paper and stones in it to give it some weight. At the time there was a spate of getting the passenger window smashed while you were at traffic lights and your bag sntached. It never happened to me but people said it worked. Instead of stopping you to find your handbag, the thief just grabbed and ran off, leaving you able to drive away safely.

Crafty Granny, I like it!

Typical police, don't act until someone is dead or seriously injured. Why doesn't intention mean anything?
