I was just wondering if anyone else was nearly kidnapped.When I was about 10(20 yrs ago) I was going home from school with a friend of mine.I only live about 100m away from my house on the same side of the road.Anyway,as we came outside the gates,there was a very long articulated lorry parked outside the front gates.At the back of the lorry stood two men,one of whom was holding one of the doors open.They called me and my friend over and told us that they had some sweets that need delivering to the school and that they needed unloading.One guy said to us that he would give us a box of sweets if we went into the lorry and helped unload them.Being an innocent fool I was going to only for my slighter older and more street-wise friend grabbed my shoulder and pulled me up the hill.I can still see there faces in my head to this day.I can only imagine what would have happened if I had set one foot into the truck.
I never told anyone about it back then as it never occured to me that it was a probable abduction attempt and I hadn't spoken to the friend in about 15 years when I met him recently.I asked him if he remembered and he told me he's lucky if he remembers what he did at the weekend
Lucky me though.
Also last year while out walking,a van(like A-team van) passed me and I just happened to look into the drivers cad,I noticed an opening behind the driver about 1 foot square.The cut-out was covered in wire mesh..attached to it were two small hands,like a 5-6 yr olds...I couldn't believe my eyes.As the van sped passed me I noticed that the only windows on the back doors had been blackened out.I just managed to catch the first 2 digits of the license plate.I was straight onto the police but by the time my details were taken he was well gone.They told me they would keep an eye out for it.I rang back several times over the next few days but they had nothing.
I still get goosebumps about that day and I hope and pray that it wasn't as bad as I think it looked.
Paedo's should be burned alive.


Anyone have a similar experience?

Oh my God. How awful for you and your friend! Its never happened to me, but I feel for those who have gone through what you have

logger said:

No

It never occured to me until I was an adult,the possible consequences of the situation.Had it not been for my friend back then,I don't know what would have happened.
But I still am upset about seeing those hands and that I could have somehow done more.I'm getting mad just thinking about it.

Had You asked "Anyone nearly abducted anyone," the answer would have been queit different.

No, but there is a 9 year old girl here in Toronto that was abducted from her bed while sleeping Sunday night. She is still missing. Her name is Cecilia Zhang. I hope she is found safe and sound very soon.

JD peed on my avatar once...does that count?!

Well its not quite the same as being snatched is it?



Cuh, dear oh dear. U deserve another 'wetting' 4 that comment.

When I was about 14 I was doing some community theater in a not so nice area. We had a director who kept us in rehearsals until like 2:00am, cuz she thought it was Broadway. Well, anyways, one night my friend and I were waiting for her Mom to come pick us up when this drunk dude in a ghettoized Honda rolls up to us and points a 22 at me and says "Get in the car!"

His speech was all slurred and the car reeked of cheap alcohol. My friend turned WHITE and for a dark skinned Hispanic that must be hard to do. I just froze for a second and I always kind of had a death wish, thought I was a badass so I said "go the fuck away" or something like that to him. The dude was about to get out of the car when another actor in the show walked up to us and started talking to us like nothing strange was going on. The freak in the Honda closed the door to his car and drove away.

My friend ran and jumped into the arms of the other actor who saved us. He was a 19 year old opera singer. She babbled on about how he saved us, she thought he didn't know what was going on and he just stopped to say hi. I said "Julia, he knows what was going on" and she says "He does?" I swear that girl was Well anyway, he told her he knew and we all went home.

After that day I fell so in love with that opera singer I just thought he was so cool in the way he handled the situation. So many people would have come at us screaming that they were gonna call the cops, but he knew that if he did that shit would have happened. I had the biggest crush on him and we soon became really close friends. A few years ago, he came out and I was heartbroken We had a falling out not long after that because he and my Bf HATED eachother. He's a teacher in a highschool not far from me and I still miss him


Wow went off topic there, sorry

Lleena has tried to lure me into the Marketplace forum with promises of ripple.

P.S. I went.

@ ripple

never nearly abducted...however...

when i was in the 7th grade...my friend angie and i were walking home...this guy pulled up to us...asked us for directions...same thing, like a dummy we went closer to the car...

he had his pants down and was sitting there jackin off

i freaked out and started screaming at him...hit him with my backback...the asshole

then i got in trouble with the cops...they said next time...dont say anything..just run...

AS IF...thats no damn fun

I've actually been abducted.

By aliens!

I was out having a few beers and I was abducted on my way home, I think, as they must have wiped my memory. I can't remember anything about it!

After they'd finished experimenting on me, they dumped me back on my very own doorstep. What's very strange is they sprayed urine in my pants and placed a half eaten fish supper in my pocket.

some homeless man tried to make me and my brother get out of my mom's boyfriends car while fhe was in the gas station when i was 7. We got out the car, and he asked out names. I said, "Isaiah" and he asked what my brother's name was and he said, "Toussaint". Then he said "come here closer i cant hear you" he said his name again, and again the homeless man said the same thing...then I grabbed my brother and locked the car doors. he knocked on the window and said come out! But we just kept looking at him. He went away after my moms bf came.


Another time, this weird white guy kept following me at the bus stop. Everytime i waled a certain direction away from him he kept walking behind me and staring. I ran across the street in2 a mall area and he followed me in htere. Luckily i ran so fast i ran up the escalator on the second floor. I hid by a plant and i saw him looking all around on the first floor. I went back down like 10 minutes later.
