A friend stopped at a pay-at-the-pump gas station to get gas. Once she filled her gas tank and after paying at the pump and starting to leave, the voice of the attendant inside came over the speaker. He told her that something happened with her card and that she needed to come inside to pay. The lady was confused because the transaction showed complete and approved. She relayed that to him and was getting ready to leave but the attendant, once again, urged her to come in to pay or there’d be trouble. She
proceeded to go inside and started arguing with the attendant about his threat. He told her to calm down and listen carefully.
He said that while she was pumping gas, a guy slipped into the back seat of her car on the other side and the attendant had already called the police.
She became frightened and looked out in time to see her car door open and the guy slip out. The report is that the new gang initiation thing is to bring back a woman and/or her car. One way they are doing this is crawling under women’s cars while they’re pumping gas or at grocery stores in the nighttime. The other way is slipping into unattended cars and kidnapping the women.
Please pass this on to other women, young and old alike. Be extra careful going to and from your car at night. If at all possible, don’t go alone! This is real!!

WHY?! :-/
in which state did this happen? sounded like an urban legend.
It’s been Snoped – urban legend.
It’s alway been my greatest fear that someone is hiding underneath my car in wait to slash my achilles’ tendons.
it seems unrealistic that just because of this story the whole female gender is going to rearrange their schedules so that they don’t have to leave home alone.
it seems slightly sexist to me. “don’t go to the grocery store without a big strong man to protect you!”
public safety is more affected by the flu virus and such
