She had a Lucky escape!!

Have you been to Bluewater(Shopping center in the UK) recently?
>About a month ago there was a woman standing by the entrance to the shopping
>centre, passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written
>the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had so that she might warn
>other women.
>
> The previous day, this woman had finished shopping and went out to
>her car and discovered that she had a flat tyre. She got the jack out of the
>trunk and began to change the flat. A nice man dressed in a business suit
>and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said, "I noticed you're
>changing a flat tyre. Would you like me to take care of it for you?" The
>woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted
>amicably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tyre and the
>jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off.
>
> The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her
>car, the man told her that he left his car around on the other side of the
>shopping centre, and asked if she would mind giving him a lift to his car.
>She was a little surprised and she asked him why his car was on the other
>side. He explained that he had seen an old friend in the centre whom he
>hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite to eat and looked round the
>shops for a while. He got turned around in the mall and left through the
>wrong exit, and now he was running late and his car was clear around on the
>other side of the centre. The woman hated to tell him "no" because he had
>just rescued her from having to change her flat tyre all by herself, but she
>felt uneasy. Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her
>trunk before shutting it and before he asked her for a ride to his car. She
>told him that she'd be happy to drive him around to his car, but she just
>remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She said she would only be a
>few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait for her; she would be as
>quick as she could be.
>
> She hurried into the shopping centre, and told a security guard what
>had happened; the guard came out to her car with her, but the man had left.
>
> They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it
>down to the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID
>so they could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct > tape,
>and knives. When the police checked the "flat" tyre, there was nothing wrong
>with it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what the man's
>intention was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in advance.
>
> The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would
>have been if she had children with her and got them to wait in the car while
>the man fixed the tyre, or if she had a baby strapped into a car seat.
>
> This woman told this experience on the flyer she was passing out so
>that other women could be warned. Please remember this, and if you ever need
>roadside or parking lot help, wait on the outside of the car and make sure
>the children wait outside with you, or maybe wait in side with the doors
>locked, or call AA, or something.

Shows you that U can't be careful enuff these days.
I know it happened in the UK, but it could happen anywhere.
