I could have gotten taken today

[gimmie birdies]

I went to a small town near my small town to get tires put on my van. It was going to be a couple of hrs. I was going to walk to the grocery store less than a 1/2 mile away. On my walk, a silver SUV pulled up really fast, I thought, someone is in a hurry to get to the post office. I kept walking, soon the car U-turned and headed down the street from me. I crossed over and took a different street, not paying attention, and the same car did another U-turn in front of me. I thought this person was lost and I kept going.

Later in the day after my tires were done, I saw a post on my local bulletin board that said, yesterday a teen girl was walking in the area, and a silver SUV was following her, and doing U-turns, and trying to pick her up and she had to run away.

I think that person may have thought I was young since I am short.

Scary.

Whew! Glad you are safe. Pays to pay attention, be alert and aware of your surroundings.

Very scary. I hope you reported this to police. Glad you are safe.

 

[gimmie birdies]

It got reported. I don't know if the girl reported, but I was shaking all afternoon.

Glad you're OK.
I hope you called the police and have some sort of self defense weapon.

 

[gimmie birdies]

I did call the police.
I am glad I didn't have to self defend, I am small, but I do carry a stinger. Wink-wink. He woulda got more than he bargained for.
