Subject: NEW TRICK FOR RAPISTS OR POSSIBLE ATTACKERS
Know what money you are carrying! You will see why as you read!
Be sure every lady is aware of this. Share it with your freinds.
Know what money you are carrying. This was the first I have heard of a
scheme like this.. I wanted to pass it along. Be safe! It is something
very serious to pay attention to.
Criminals are coming up with craftier, less threatening methods of
attack, so we have to be extra cautious. Read on.
I live near the Blue Mountains but I often work at North Ryde , staying
with friends when I'm there. As you know from Australia 's Most Wanted
TV program,as well as the new media, there is a serial killer in the
area. I just want to let you know about an "incident "
that happened to me a few weeks ago, and could have been deadly.
At first I didn't go to the police or anyone with it because I didn't
realise how serious this encounter was. But since I work in a jail and I
told a few people about it, it wasn't long before I was paraded into
Internal Affairs to tell them my story.
It was proximately 5:15 a.m. I had stayed with a friend there and was
on my way to work. I stopped at the Caltex Station to get petrol. I got
$10 petrol and a Diet Coke. I took into the store two
$5 bills and one $1 coin (just enough to get my stuff).
As I pulled away from the store, a man approached my truck from the back
side of the store (an unlit area). He was an approachable-looking" man
(clean cut, clean shaven, dressed well, etc.). He walked up to my window
and knocked. Since I'm very paranoid and "always looking for the rapist
or killer," I didn't open the window I just asked what he wanted. He
raised a
$5 bill to my window and said, "You dropped this." Since I knew I had
gone into the store with a certain amount of money, I knew I didn't drop
it.
When I told him it wasn't mine, he began hitting the window and door,
screaming at me to open my door, and insisting that I had dropped the
money!
At that point, I just drove away as fast as I could. After talking to
the Internal Affairs Department and describing the man I saw, and the
way he escalated from calm and polite to angry and volatile....it was
determined that I could have possibly encountered the serial killer
myself.
Up to this point, it had been unclear as to how he had gained access to
his victims, since there has been no evidence of forced entry into
victim's homes, cars, etc. And the fact that he has been attacking in
the daytime, when women are less likely to have their guard up, means he
is pretty BOLD.
So think about it...what gesture is nicer than returning money to
someone that dropped it?????
How many times would you have opened your window (or door) to get your
money and say thank you.... because if the person is kind enough to
return something to you, then he can't really be a threat....can he????
Please be cautious! This might not have been the serial killer... but
anyone that gets that angry over someone not accepting money from them,
can't have honourable intentions. The most important thing to note is
that his reaction was! NOT WHAT I EXPECTED! A total surprise!
But what might have happened if I had opened my door? I shudder to
think!
Forward this to everyone you know...maybe they can be as fortunate as I
was!
P.S. Ladies, really DO forward this to EVERYONE you know Even if this
wasn't a serial killer, he looked nice, he seemed polite, he was
apparently doing an act of kindness, but HE WAS NOT A NICE PERSON!!!
Men send it to all the women in your life. What you do today is
important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. Make it
a good one! Please forward to anyone you think might benefit from this
story.
