Good time to remind our children - and everybody - not to stop for ANYBODY flashing them down at night. Not even if someone pulls up beside them, motioning that their tire has something wrong with it. Take the chance that there is something actually wrong with your tire and keep going.
I posted my story on Walton Uncensored and got ridiculed, but here goes...back when I was young and blonde and pretty, I went to Hardee's (now Whataburger) in DFS with my friends after class. I said goodbye and headed down dark, lonely 331 to go home. A few minutes later, a small white truck came up behind me, flashing its headlights. I thought it was my friend's boyfriend and pulled over. It wasn't him. It was a guy, exposing himself, and as he approached my car I saw he had a knife. I took off, and he FOLLOWED me. When I got to the city limits of Freeport, he turned around and went north again. I was safe, but I never forgot his face.

How SCARY!!! SN, I am so glad you sped off. We both know how easily women become prey...If I knew how to do it, I would post the creep that is still in jail sice 1976...that got a hold of me. I went to hell and back, but I am alive and mentally healthy, thank you God, and family.
Maybe this is TMI, but timely....I was 13, abducted from Ed Walline Park in Dune Allen, raped and left for dead in the woods off of 395 just N of Seagrove. I crawled about 5 miles barefoot, because he took my shoes because he didnt think Id ever see the light of day again. I made it to Seagrove and knocked on someones door at about 12AM to get help. He still had my 10 yo friend with him. Former Sherriff Quinn McMillan took me to the hospital and stayed with me until I was released. (He was a deputy then)
The warning is, if it is a stranger, dont go near him/her, especially if no one else is around. We live in a small community and we are fairly trusting. This was 33 years ago, when crime was unheard of here. The search for me was the talk of the town for a year! Please teach your children safety and caution.
Someone impersonating a cop....GRRRRRR!!!!! Dont stop for an unmarked car, ever!!! Go slowly, call 911 and get to a lighted populated area if possible. I dont think an unmarked car should be pulling anyone over!!!!! EVER. Unmarked patrolman, call in a marked car to get a speeder for gosh sakes! Or move on.
