 THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING



To the men: warn your loved ones !

To the women: remember this!



About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega 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 notice

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 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 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

motive 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 had she waited 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 than sorry.



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

USE YOUR HEAD!!!



Pass this along to every woman you have access to. Never let your

guard down. SOMETIMES, THAT FEELING IN YOUR GUT IS THE VOICE OF GOD.

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!!
