WTF? Email I got
 

A new safety issue we need to be aware of:


I just wanted to let you all know of something that happened to me
today in the Target parking lot. Be aware of this and let everyone you
know be aware so this does not happen to anyone else.

I was at Target today to return something which only took a couple of
minutes. When I pulled into the parking lot a man in a car pulled in a
couple spaces down from me. He started to go into the store about the
same time as I did, then turned back around and went back to his car. I
went into Target returned my items and walked back out to get into my
car. When I walked out, he was walking away from my car carrying a small
gas can. I noticed there was fluid on the side of my car and a puddle
beside it. I got into my car not sure of what happened, wrote down his
license plate # and left. He followed me out of the parking lot.

I was only able to drive about a half a mile and my car started acting
funny. It died on me as I was driving and I was able to pull into an
area business along the highway. I just sat in my car and called the
police.
The man drove by three times as I waited. The police who came took a
report and said that he had poured sugar water into my gas tank which is
what made my car stall. It was a great way to get a woman by herself to
be stranded on the streets. Luckily for me I was able to stop where
there were people around. The police know where the car came from and
are working on this now.
Not sure what will happen but my car is now in the shop not running,
but it could have been much worse for me. Just be aware that this is
happening and always be aware of your surroundings. It certainly scared
me and I am grateful that nothing else happened.

Please pass this on to your wife, church member and friends.....



Sorry I know it's long, but there's more! LOL

Not very funny, why the reynolds?

Whats so funny about this? There was a woman here locally that was sexually assaulted by a man using a similar approach.

This was the funny part, I'm very sorry you would think I thought the other part was funny.

^ yeah well most corporate emails have HUGE disclaimers like that at the end of them. Usually they are even more ridiculous though.

I just thought it was funny they would tell you that about an email that should be shared with people.



:(

Locking gas caps are available at the auto store.

There are some which have, in these 'disclaimers' at the BOTTOM of emails: "If you are not the intended recipient of this email, you are instructed not to read its contents but to delete it immediately." <- lawyers are idiots.

Sounds like one of the MANY warning emails that my mother used to send me. I think every single one turned out to be an urban legend...

Snopes is your friend:

looks like a "safe" send email from spam. what i mean is that spamming (not email marketing) companies will send out a first run email with safe trigger words so the email looks legit. once one goes through, there is a good chance the rest will.

that, or i could be worng and they have your email addy mixed up with someone else

BTW, for those believing the first part:

The second part is just a standard footer that most companies use.

Hey.. interesting

Ya I was going to say thats something of a myth now. In a much older car with less filtering it would be more likely.

I have two sisters who believe and foward every single mass email they get. I have Snopes on speed dial :winkwink:

MythBusters busted the sugar in the gas tank myth.
