Ever have one of those "That doesn't look right", feelings?

I was just out doing one of my power walks, and I passed a teenaged girl going the other way. Not 30 seconds later this car with a single guy slows down and angles towards the curb.

My mental radar was pinging like crazy.

I turned around to verify that he was slowing for this girl.
Her posture told me that she did not know this creep. I start walking towards her, and she is kind of looking for an out from the situation. She can tell that I am trying to get a read on the guy in the car and starts walking towards me.
The creep who looked about 30 pulls, away and turns around, drops back a block and turns down a side street.
About this time I meet up with her and ask her if she knew the driver of the car.
She did not, she said that he wanted to give her a ride. She asked me if I had a cell phone. I do, I said. Do you want to call someone or do you want me to walk with you to the corner? She said if I could just walk with her just two blocks to the light. About this time we get to the street where the guy in the car turned. He had gone down a half block, turned around and parked watching. He sees us together looking at him and takes off. We could not see the license plate from our vantage point.

And with perfect timing, a friend of mine calls me on the cell phone and asks what I am doing. "I am walking with a young woman, who just had a creep try to pull her into his car." Talk about a tension breaker, this young girl sighed a breath of relief.

I advised her to tell her parents, and complemented her on doing the right thing where strangers are concerned.
Sure glad that I was there for her.

That's creepy. Good thing you were the trustworthy one.

I was just thinking how the man in the car could have an accomplice like yourself to gain trust and... what a thought. Good thing you were there when you were. Thank you from all us single girls out in the world.

Cougar, Thank you for being there and having the courage to step in and help. Too often you read about people who just "look the other way" because they don't want to get "involved". You did a great job :thumb: :thumb:

Thank you everyone.
Just to share, one of my friends on another forum photoshopped Clint over a picture of my Cougar.

Damn Scott! That looks just like you! Bravo for a great job!
I know I'm not the only female here who has been in a similar situation. I, too, watch out for children and strange folks lurking in cars, and I live near several schools. I would jump in in a heartbeat.

Good job, Scott!!! There are some bad people out there, and evil will always try to take advantage of a situation when it perceives it to be weak ... thanks for being brave and strong for this young lady, you're a hero and a patriot :flag: ...

I'm a little late getting on this post.... but I echo the sentiments of those above. It takes some real courage to be attentive and involve yourself in such things. If more folks would get involved in situations like this, the world would be a better place. You're a Great American Cougar!
