This is so awful. Sending prayers for this young lady & her extended family.
Please ladies, pay attention while you are out & about. Head up & alert, looking around, inspecting cars as you approach them.
Don't be searching in your purse, don't be juggling a dozen packages. I know you aren't going to ask security guard to walk you to your car, I don't either. But if that parking lot is not VERY well lit, just do it. No one will think you are foolish and who cares if they do?
Have your keys out & ready before you leave a building or mall. Better yet, lace your keys between your fingers and make a fist with them to be used as a weapon if needed.
If you can get pepper spray or mace, carry it IN YOUR HAND on the way to the car, not the bottom of your purse.
Read The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals that Protect Us from Violence By Gavin de Becker. It is a book no woman should be without.
Take a self defense class.
Make it a HABIT to lock your car and home automatically each and every time you get in.
Don't think that if you are no longer young and blonde and slender and pretty that you are safe. Abduction and rape is not about physical attractiveness.
And pray for Dru :'-(
