FYI - be safe ladies

Fill up during the day, and be aware of your surrondings.

Lisa is the sister (in-law) of one of my friends. This hits very close to home!


Spread this around I know you work with a lot of people who live
in the area Last night a girl I work with (Lisa) her gas light came on
in her truck she decided to stop at Wawa on 301 because she didn't have
enough to make it to Prince Frederick where she lives. Well as she was
pumping her gas she was approached by a black male who she said seemed
very scary almost homeless looking who told her she was going to buy him
some gas. She said no, he said you are going to buy me some gas and she
said no I don't have any money. He said well then how are you paying for
that and she said with my card. He then looked behind her and told
another guy he was with (she didn't even realize he was behind her) to
get the gas can. And told her to fill it up she at this point was very
scared there was only one other car out there beside her and they were
in the store. Obviously the people inside don't pay attention to the
camera. By the time all of this went on her truck had filled up and he
was only able to get another $5 off her card before it shut him off.

She got in her truck and locked the doors as she pulled off she
got there tag # and went directly to the police station to make a
report. The officer told her they have been going all around to
different gas stations targeting alone women and women with children in
the vehicle. They called her again this morning and told her they think
they know who it is since she got the tag info. And they will call her
when they get the guys.

She is still very shaken today but fine but who knows what could
have happened to her. So let everyone know that you can to be very
careful at the gas stations around the area.

Wow. Thank you!
My boyfriend and parents are always warning me to get gas during the day, but usually the only time i have to stop for it is at night. Knowing that there is a real threat like that is enough to make me rethink my past confidence.
I've had guys come up to me before during the night and day asking for rides and if i was selling my car (its a piece of crap, and i couldnt understand him but i think that's what he said). Stuff like that made me uncomfortable getting gas alone, but it hadnt deterred me.

Thanks again for the warning.

OMG that's so scary. I'm glad she's okay. I can't imagine what must have been going through her head. I hope they catch them soon.
