That's why we love Joberg!

I always wonder how fact-based these warnings are, or whether they're simply another way to keep women terrorized... the old 'backseat killer/ankle-slashing gang' urban legend with a South African twist (tracker network, saps, 4x4 mercedes). Whatever the case though, full-scale vigilance never hurt anyone?

Please take this message serious, this come from Tracker Network, who works directly with the SAPS...

Take note this is what happened. At a Petrol station week ago, they tried something similar to a lady driving a 4 x4 Mercedes Benz but the cops were on the ball. Please ladies be very careful try not to drive in the evenings. A friend stopped at a petrol station to get petrol. Once she
filled her petrol tank after paying at the pump and started to leave, the attendant inside came over to speak to her. He told her that something happened with her card and that she needed to come inside to pay. The lady was confused because the transaction showed complete and approved. She told him that, and was getting ready to leave but the attendant once again urged her to come in to pay or else.

She proceeded to go inside and started arguing with the attendant about his threat. He told her to calm down and listen carefully: He told her that while she was standing outside her car getting petrol, a guy slipped into the backseat of her car on the other side and he had called the police. She immediately became scared and looked out there in time to see her car door open and the guy slip out. The report is that the new gang initiation thing is to bring back a woman's body part.

One way they are doing this is crawling under girls/women's cars while they're getting petrol or at grocery stores in the nighttime. Then they are cutting the lady's ankles to disable them in order to kidnap them, kill and dismember them. The other way is slipping into unattended cars and kidnapping the women to kill and dismember them. Please pass this on to other women, young and old alike. BE extra careful going to and from your car at night. If possible, do not go
alone! This is real!! The message:

1. ALWAYS lock your car doors, even if you're gone for just a second.

2. Check underneath your car when approaching it for re-entry, and check in the back before getting in.

3. Always be aware of your surroundings and other individuals in your general vicinity, particularly at night!

Send this to as many women as possible!!!!
