Be sure every lady is aware of this. 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! It
is 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 near Herne Bay in Auckland and as many of you know from
Police Ten Seven and last weeks news there is a killer in the Auckland
area. I just want to let you know about an 'incident ' that happened
to me a few days ago, and it may 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 Comms ( NZ Police ) 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 proximately 5:15 a.m. I had stayed with a friend in Manurewa and was
on my way to work. I stopped at the Mobil Station Quay st City to get petrol. I purchased
$10 petrol and a Diet Coke. I took into the store two
$5 bills and four $1 coins (just enough to make my purchases ).
As I pulled away from the store, a man approached my car 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 Police at Auckland Central and spoke with Detective Kevin Hooper
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 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 he is also the main suspect in the Stabbing case
which took place in upmarket Remuera involving a 53 yo lady on March 26th , 2010.
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 that 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 honourable intentions. The most important thing to note is
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
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 copy, paste and send this to anyone you think might benefit from this story.
