He walked her to her car and then after depositing the packages offered her a free cook book if she came back to his car...Now not having any bad gut feelings, just being a snotty 20 something my mom said "sorry I don't cook, thanks for the help, " jumped in her car and drove off...As it turns out that helpful man was Ted Bundy, and a few years later my mother was telling an investigation task force her story of near abduction...Not to different from the "urban legend story" is it? BE CAREFUL LADIES!

Oh my gosh, how lucky for your mother.

Thanks for the post, anything can happen at anytime, we need to watch out this day and age.

You're not kidding! Ted Bundy of all people.

We do have to be careful.

I was walking to my car in a mall parking lot about 10 years ago. A large woman
yelled out to me. I got scared. She didn't come near me, and she told me that she was a cop. She told me that I was putting myself in a very dangerous position standing there with all kinds of packages, completely off guard, digging in my bag for my car keys.

She advised me to always take my keys out before I left the mall, and to always look around ,e in a my parking lot. I'll never forget her for being so caring and for her good advice.
