| | Description | Subject: FW: New Mall Crime
From the AP news wire.
Don't be surprised to see a naked woman walking out of a shopping mall
restroom: The latest scam being perpetrated in our nations shopping malls
is not the cost of gourmet ice cream cones or Harry Potter collectible
figurines. With what is being called amazing regularity, victims of this
new crime wave have been found walking out of shopping mall restrooms
completely naked. This has almost always been done by men to women, with a
few exceptions. The way the scam works is, a man slips into a women's
restroom and sneaks into a stall. He waits until there is only one woman in
the restroom in a neighboring stall. The criminal then stands on the toilet
and points a hand gun into the next stall, demanding the woman's valuables.
After getting her cash and jewelry, he demands that she remove all of her
clothing and kick them out of the stall. The thief tosses the clothing into
a shopping bag, hangs an out of order sign on the restroom door, and slips
back into the mall. The out of order sign ensures no one will soon come to
the woman's rescue. It usually takes an hour or two for the woman to work up
the nerve to leave the restroom in the nude, giving the criminal ample time
to make his get away. The woman is left naked and humiliated in a mall full
of strangers.
The best defense, say police, is to never go into a shopping mall restroom
alone, as only women who are by themselves are targeted.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. This has so far been a nearly
perfect crime, as none of the perpetrators have been caught. Don't let
this happen to another woman.
