| Very important to all the ladies MUST READ!!!!!!!!! One of my best and closest friends is a cop. He just emailed me this. This is something that is going on all over the country. Please read through it. He recieved it in his work email. He is wisconsin state trooper. This is serious. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ A friend stopped at a pay-at-the-pump gas station to get gas. Once she filled her gas tank and after paying at the pump and starting to leave, the voice of the attendant inside came over the speaker. He told her that something happened with her card and that she needed to come inside to pay. The lady was confused because the transaction showed complete and approved. She relayed that to him and was getting ready to leave but the attendant, once again, urged her to come in to pay or there'd be trouble. She proceeded to go inside and started arguing with the attendant about his threat. He told her to calm down and listen carefully: He said that while she was pumping gas, a guy slipped into the back seat of her car on the other side and the attendant had already called the police. She became frightened and looked out in time to see her car door open and the guy slip out. The report is that the new gang initiation thing is to bring back a woman and/or her car. One way they are doing this is crawling under women's cars while they're pumping gas or at grocery stores in the nighttime. The other way is slipping into unattended cars and kidnapping the women. Please pass this on to other women, young and old alike. Be extra careful going to and from your car at at night. If all possible dont go alone. This is real!! The message: 1. ALWAYS lock your car doors, even if you're gone for just a second! 2. Check underneath your car when approaching it for reentry, and check in the back before getting in. 3. Always be aware of your surroundings and of other individuals in your general vicinity, particularly at night! Send this to everyone so your friends can take precaution. AND GUYS...YOU TELL ANY WOMEN YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS Thanks, Barbara Baker, Secretary Directorate of Training U.S. Military Police |

| Yes! Please do everyone. You never know what kind of neighborhood you're in or what kind of people are close to you. I get very paranoid at gas stations and never stop by one after 8 or 9PM when the sun isn't out. I'm such a paranoid freak. If it's crucial enough to stop by, I am talking on the phone with my boyfriend from the time I get out of the car to the time I get in just to feel safer. Thanks for sharing! |

| The best part of living in NJ.. It is against the law to pump your own gas... Go figure! And it's the same price or less than our neighboring states who have to pump their own gas. In other states when I pull up to a gas station that doesn't have Full Service I just drive off because I don't know how to work the pumps and get embarrassed!

| While you can never be wrong in being safe, locking your doors, and being careful of your surroundings, this particular story is probably an urban legend: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/backseat.asp |

| I thought that too when he sent it to me but figured that I would post it anyway since most of us are women and I dont want to see anything happen to anyone. |

I received this same email and warning a few years back. Infact it was on a tv show about urban legends as well. I still agree though you can never be to safe now a days and hopefully this warning does make everyone think twice about locking your car doors. It only takes a second for someone to sneak into a car. I know since i received that exact email i always lock my car doors and double check my back seats before getting into my car. | |
