    New rapist trick.

    I got this in a e mail and wanted to put it all here for everyone to see. It's really scary.

    >RAPIST TRICK
    >
    >Know what money you are carrying. You will see why as you read.
    >
    >Be sure every woman is aware of this M.O. Share it with your wife and
    >daughters. 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!
    >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 in Alexandria , VA , but I often work in Lafayette , LA , staying
    >with friends when I'm there. As you know from America 's Most Wanted TV
    >program, as well as the news media, there is a serial killer in the
    >Lafayette 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
    >realize 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 approximately 5:15 a.m. In
    >Opelousas , La. I had stayed with a friend there and was on my way to work.
    >
    >I stopped at the Exxon/Blimpie Pie station to get gas. I got $10 gas and a
    >Diet Coke. I took into the store two $5 bills and one $1 bill (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 honorable 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!

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    You can get a diet coke for a dollar somewhere????

    This story is so riddled with improbabilities.... why would someone who works in a jail in Virginia often work in Louisiana for example?

    Problem with these stories is that while it contains what may be good advice...it is so silly the good advice gets lost!

    I HATE getting stuff like that forwarded to me. The first thing I do is go to snopes. Then, I send them the link back. And yes, crimes do happen. But if you use a little common sense, a lot can be avoided.

    I agree, but now we can also be in the look out for this if it does start to happen.

    You've got to admit, it's a clever trick to show money to someone to
    get their attention. It would probably work for a lot of people.

    If I was foolish enough to believe all the warnings sent in email across the internet I'd never leave the house.
