Safety Warning

Women who travel alone need to be made aware of a relatively new threat to their safety, which is occurring mostly in large metropolitan areas. In this ploy, a clean, handsome-looking man will pull up next to a woman at a traffic light and ask her for directions to somewhere nearby, usually somewhere in a warehouse district. The man will ask if the woman can show him how to get there, and will suggest that he follow her there. Once the woman gets onto an abandoned side street with the other car following, two or three more cars will appear from various directions and seal off the woman's route of escape. The cars will contain several men who will pull the victim out of her vehicle, often forming a circle around her and forcing her to her knees to perform oral sex. This is followed by them ripping her clothing off, bending her over the hood of her car and taking turns having sex with her.

Be very cautious out there. This happened to me on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I drove around for three hours but couldn't find them on Friday.
