Sydney Warning Please Read (Urban Myth)

[Mummaof2]

To all fellow Bub Hubbers,

I had a friend email this to me and wanted to share it all with you so that you all know to be careful at petrol stations.

Please pass onto every female you know!!!!

Please circulate this following warning to everyone you know.

This actually happened a few weeks ago right here near Fairfield in
Sydney .It was early evening and a young lady stopped to get petrol at a
Quix. She filled her tank and walked into the store to pay for her
petrol. The cashier told her "Don't pay for your petrol yet.....walk
around the store for a while and act as if you're picking up some other
things to buy. A man just got into the back of your car.

I've called the police and they're on their way".

When the police arrived, they found the man in the back seat of the
girl's car and asked him what he was doing. He replied, he was joining a
gang and the initiation to join is to kidnap a woman and bring her back
to the gang to be raped by every member of the gang. If the woman was
still alive by the time they finish with her then they let her go.

According to the police that night, there is a new gang forming here
originating from WetherillPark. The scary part of this is because the
guy didn't have a weapon on him the police could only charge him with
trespassing.... He's back on the street and fee to try again.

Please be aware of what's going on around you and for your family and
friends. LADIES you or one of your family and friends could be the next
victim. Please forward this on to everyone you know.

Please do not discard this message it is very important that everyone
knows what is happening.

A similar event took place on 7 March 2002 at a 7-Eleven servo in
Wynnum. Please be careful when leaving your vehicle and make sure it is
ALWAYS locked to prevent this from happening to you.

You know what... I got the exact same email except instead of Fairfield, Sydney it took place in Fairfield, Brisbane, and a similar event happened in Wynnum, Brisbane... Oh well still a good warning!

hmmmm yeah it is good advice to be careful at servo's..... but I'm sure I've read this same story (but with US place names) on UrbanLegends.com

To quote the poet Beck:

"Don't believe everything that you read, you get a parking violation and a rabbit up your sleeve."

pish I don't believe it, I get these all the time.

Why the hell would the guy admit that, he is a crook!

anyone would have trouble getting into the back of my car it's only got two seats lol

[ThomasMum]

Another urban myth...dont believe it...

[Nickster]

I've had the same one again and again for the past 4 years! They just recirculate them.
On the other hand, I have a girlfriend who is desperately single and wants to know where this service station is.....

[nemosmum]

I dont know if that was in very good taste Nickster, I mean Im sure the victims of gang rapes were'nt looking for a date. I know you where only joking but a little sensitivity is needed perhaps.

[Nickster]

I do apologize if my outrageous sense of humour offended....I was merely operating on the basis that it was an urban myth....not at all serious......and therefore humorous.

[mollyandkurtsmum]

that was a bit tacky Nickster!!!

I got this email about a year ago but it was in fitzroy Melbourne

I also got one about a woman who was home alone and heard a boaby crying at her front door. When she went outside to check she was grabbed and raped and left for dead. Apparently the raper uses a recording of a baby/kitten/puppy crying to appeal to a womans mothering urge to open the door.

They may not be real but they make for an interesting and spooky read

[Nickster]

okay okay - I consider myself well-chastised! Would anyone else like to beat up on me for making an honest mistake and not anticipating other's responses? SHEEESH!
