The Stranger In Her Car
“A random man came up to me late one evening when I was putting groceries in my truck. He was sitting on a bike but asking me for a ride.”
“I told him no, but he continued to insist. I went to put the cart away and he had put his bike into the bed of my truck and climbed into the passenger seat.”
“I had no phone, no one was out and I froze. I made the poor choice to give him a ride.”
“I was goddamn terrified and I don’t think I blinked the entire time as the man said things like “your husband is a lucky guy” or “wow your lips look nice”. Fortunately my lack of response seemed to deter him and we finally parted ways.”
“Don’t be me. Make a scene. F*** politeness. Anything to get this person away from you.”

Fred West
“When I was 11 I was with a group of my pals a few streets away from home. A truck drew up and a man coaxed my friend to get in the cab, saying he’d buy her an ice cream.”
“We tried to tell her no but she was a messed up kid. They drove off to ‘get ice cream’ and we anxiously waited for her to come back, which she did about 20 mins later, minus the ice cream.”
“I went home and told my parents, who told her parents, they brought me to the police station and I had to give a description of him which was circulated by local newspapers.”
“He was never seen in the area again…but four years later on a Sunday morning, his face was on every newspaper and TV channel in the UK.”
“It was Fred West, the serial killer. To this day, I don’t believe he would have brought her back if we hadn’t made such a fuss about her getting into a vehicle with a stranger.”
The Kidnapping
“When I was 10 years old, I was abducted while my family and I were camping at a state lake. My parents had to run some errands, so all of us kids were left with one of our aunts.”
“I went to a creek next to where our camper was to go fishing, probably about ~75 yards or so. I had forgotten my bait and didn’t wanna go back for it. (un)lucky for me, a man was there so I asked him for some worms.”
“Said they were in his car just around the corner. He guided me there, and that’s when it happened. I was gagged and taken to a different part of the park grounds.”
“What happened next, as one could imagine, are the things my nightmares were made of for countless years to come. I’m 33 now and still recall with vivid details the things that were done.”
“Thankfully I was found within about 2 hours of my abduction. Unlucky for him, it was my father who found us first. The man somehow managed to escape my father’s wrath and flee. He was apprehended by state troopers and local PD about 30 minutes later.”
“Queue all the legal shenanigans, and sentencing – dude was a repeat offender and still only received like 12 years prison.”
“My family kept tabs on him while he was in custody and were notified of his release. The second scariest thing was the day he was released, my heart dropped. He’s long been a fragment of past and I learned to not live in fear over that any longer.”
