It's a TRICK! (not of the "magical" variety!)

Hi all... I've been busy working on a website for my hubby's motorcycle club... With the help from Kitty (THANK YOU VERY MUCH, by the way!!), I was able to finally make it public!! WOO HOO!!

So, when you look at it (link above)... please let me know what you think... Not bad for my 1st full site from scratch! (Meaning using only html codes!!) (In my humble opinion.)

Anyway... I was checking my email when I saw this one from my dad... & I felt compelled to share it with everyone.

It's a trick that everyone (not just the ladies) should be aware of!!!

A Serial Killer or Rapist's 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 who 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!

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.

That's all for now. Take care, BE SAFE, & Toodles!! :)
