the mrs is on the laptop, suddenly lets out a gasp of shock, and makes a call, to my aunt, whos email she has just read, both are horrified...

An important =essage from the Police –

Guys please pass this along to all the =omen you know.....
This actually happened a few weeks ago =ight here in England . It was early evening and a young lady stopped to get =etrol. =o:p>
She filled her tank and walked =nto the store to pay for her petrol. The cashier told her ‘Don't pay for =our petrol yet.....walk around the store for a while and act as if you're =icking up some other things to buy. =o:p>
A man just got into the back of =our car. I've called the police and they're on their way'. When the police =rrived, they found the man in the back seat of the girl's car and asked him what =e was doing. He replied, he was joining a gang and the initiation to join is =o kidnap a woman and bring her back to the gang to be raped by every =ember of the gang. If the woman was still alive by the time they finish with her =hen they let her go.
According to the police that =ight, there is a new gang forming here originating from London. The scary part of this is =ecause the guy didn't have a weapon on him. The police could only charge him with trespassing.... He's back on the street and free to try =gain.
Please be aware of what's going =n around you and for your family and friends. LADIES you or one of your =amily and friends could be the next victim.
Please forward this on to =veryone you know. Please do not discard this message it is very important that =veryone knows what is happening.
Please be careful when leaving =our vehicle and make sure it is ALWAYS Locked to prevent this from happening

now this is a variation on an old, and hoary tale, but to prove it, i would like to show her the film clip, but can't remember wether it was from

urban legend

scream

or any of their sequels, spinoffs, god knows what knock offs, any ideas?

Urban Legend!

You have trouble recalling because it is the poorer of the three, Scream is very watchable for Craven and scary face man and IKWYDLS for JLH!

Last year, there was a story spreading like wildfire through the Emergency Services. It was, again, concerning gang initiation. The story went that to qualify for membership, someone had to drive round at night without lights on until you were flashed by someone. The rumour started to fragment a little when some said it had to be Police/Ambulalnce/Fire whereas others claimed any poor bugger would do. Once flashed the prospective gang member had to shoot whoever flashed them. Eventually, enquiries couldn't find out where this story had started and it fizzled out.
But, and it's a big but, Jai's story about locking your car when you are at a filling station still holds true. If you can't lock it while actually filling up that isn't that important, but keeping your bag/wallet out of sight while you do it is. As is locking it when you go to pay. Unfortunately it's also important to keep bags, briefcases and laptops in the boot or under the seat and lock your doors.
I'm afraid these are the times we live in. God, that was depressing.
 
Hmmm. I hate these things.

I ALWAYS lock my car when I'm filling up, and I have had someone try to get into my car whilst at a petrol station. He only wanted a lift back to the nut house. The Police obliged.

I did have someone try to get in whilst I was driving once ............. which is why I always lock my doors .......... turns out she mistook my Renault for a taxi she had ordered. Thing she should have gone the way of the other one!
