New Attack Approach - Be Aware...

RAPIST
TRICK

Know what money you are carrying!

Be sure
every woman is aware of this method of operating. Share it with
those you love. Know what money you are carrying. This was the
first I have heard of a scheme like this. 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.

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
Appaloosas, 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

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 t hat 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? Huh

?

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? Huh

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!
Forward
this to everyone you know .... maybe they can be as fortunate as
I was!

P.S. Ladies, really DO forward this to EVERYONE
you know. Even if this man wasn't a serial
killer, he looked nice, he seemed polite, he was apparently
doing an act of kindness, but HE WAS NOT A NICE PERSON!

Men , send it to all the women in your
life. What you do today is important because
you are exchanging a day of your life for it. Make it a good
one!

Please forward to anyone you think might
benefit from this story.
