I'm always super cautious leaving my baby in the car, most of the time he comes with me but there is the occasion when it isn't appropriate for him to come with me.  |
I am VERY cautious of vans, especially those with no windows or with dark windows that you can't see through. These are the vehicles baddies use to abduct women. If a van is parked next to my car, I will walk back into the store and come out later or get in the car on the opposite side. No offense to people who drive vans - just being sensible and cautious. And if any man is standing around near or by my car, I'm back in the store in a flash and would certainly get help if I thought I needed it. I'm an older lady, small, and would have no chance at all against anyone who decided to do me harm. I don't have any problem with someone knowing I am suspicious of them or their actions. A strange looking guy followed me from the Kroger parking lot and into the store one time. I immediately found a male manager and told him. The manager kept an eye on the guy and said he had seen him before. The guy was mentally impaired and I sure didn't want anything to do with him. The guy saw me watching him and saw me talk to the manager and saw the manager stand there to watch him. The manager made it very obvious that he was watching him. The guy left and I never saw him again. The manager walked out of the store with me when I left and stood there until I was in my car and moving. Don't ignore a suspicious situation. Be alert and protect yourself. The baddies count on a woman being kind hearted and basically trusting. Don't be!!
