Careful at petrol stations!

ATTENTION ALL LADY DRIVERS (and Perhaps male drivers as well..)

My dear friends, pls be careful. Nowadays, there are so many crazy, sick-minded, psycho criminals around us. They may not look like one, but they are.

Yesterday, a friend of my sister was almost robbed, possibly even abducted in Ampang. This happened at a petrol station.

This lady went to the petrol station to fill in the gas. Then, she went to the ATM machine (most petrols have it now) inside the petrol station to withdraw some money, and bought some stuff, and qued up to pay for the items. While waiting fo her turn, she saw innocent looking man wearing a white shirt, but she did not really think about it afterwards.

Then, she went to her car. She did not have the remote control, so she had the key ready in her hand. She got inside, and straight away locked the doors.

Suddenly, in less than a second, she heard someone was trying to open the back door. She turned to take a look, but nobody was there. She turned, and found that the man inside the petrol station (mentioned before) was trying to open the front passenger's door! He had a very innocent looking face, with decent clothing! Nobody could have ever thought that this man is actually a robber!

She was so scared, she pressed her horns, really frightened, shocked and scared. The worst part was the man did not even show any signs of being afraid or noticed. He walked calmly towards his accomplice like nothing had happened, and even managed to take make a few rounds on his bike around the station's compound before riding away.

After lodging a report, the victim and the police went through the CCTV. The recording had shown that the man was actually holding a knife in his other hand!! The police said that if the lady was a second slower, it might have been worse. Thanks God she was okay.

So friends, be really careful. Pls tell this to others.

Some lessons to be wary of :
1 - Always be alert and extra careful, especially when withdrawing money
2 - Car owners - pls have the key in ready in your hand, ALWAYS. Never start search for keys only after getting to your car.
3 - Always lock your door as soon as you get inside the car.
4 - Avoid from using big handbags - u don't want to get unnecessary attention
5 - Be cautious
6 - Be wary of strangers no matter how well dress they may be
