- Commuting in our own car is becoming more dangerous everyday and thanks to social media, chilling footage is constantly shared of what looks to be danger lurking in the shadows. But are these just pranks? Over dramatic storytimes? Or are these eerie experiences too common to excuse as mere coincidence?
Whether you’re at work, running errands, or traveling-social media and law enforcement are sounding the call that you may want to double-check your vehicle before you decide to drive straight home.
Let’s take a look at innocent things you may see on, under or around your car, that may not be so innocent after all-and learn what you should do in similar situations.

It is absolutely criminal that people can't say trafficking without being censored.
😆🤣😂
😢😢😢
Word censorship has become insane over the past couple of years.
The thing about touching things with chemicals is true, it's been happening in South Africa for years, it's witchcraft, I personally know four people who were victims to it, they lost consciousness and gave away their personal and private information and belongings, such as bank cards, pins, cellphones, savings, tablets and whatever valuables they had on them. I was targeted as well as my mother on separate occasions and the only reason we escaped was by praying to Lord Jesus. They'll either smear something on your clothes by 'accident', pretend to drop a thick roll of money which the unsuspecting victim will pick up to give it back, or they pretend to be foreigners who need assistance in English. So don't let anyone tell you it's 'folklore' it's true.
That's just the Democrat vote working for you.
Human traffickers should get an auto death sentence on the spot, if guilty.
Trump said that same thing.
And he's 100% correct! @@willisscott3107
I agree!
I feel the same
True ❤
Also: Ladies (& gentlemen) when a car slightly bumps you from behind, your immediate reaction is "Oh no I've been crashed into" and get out to investigate. That is when a carjacker (or worse) will bounce. Keep your street smarts on high alert!
The one lady with the guy standing by her car on phone shouldn't have put her kid in the car and then walked around to driver side... she should've just went back in the store and asked for someone to walk her to the car.
@standup273 the store staff refused to escort you
Exactly 😅 In all of these situations there's never just 1 person.There's always tons of people watching you
@@tomjones2157lies😅
Or gone back in the store and called the police.
G.u.n.
I don't care if it's fear mongering. The best thing to do is to be cautious. Be aware of your surroundings. In today's world anything is possible.
get a gun. problem solved
That is always good advice. For women it's definitely a lot harder for them if they're by themselves. I just worry when people see stories like that that they think EVERYONE they see is out to get them when that isn't the case and it is almost never going to happen to you. Also where you live plays a massive role in this as well. My town has some of the lowest crime rates in the entire country so it's very easy to trust people here but you still need to use common sense and trust your gut instinct if something doesn't seem right. I get overly cautious and paranoid which imo is a bad way to be if you want to live a good life because then you're always worrying someones out to get you
Trust nobody !
its sad just how many a-holes are out there looking to cause misery for people , always beware of what is around you especially when it is late or in a strange parking lot ,people are sick and weird and many times dangerous ,,, be vigil and be tough if you must
@@ADreamingTravelerThank you to Biden, the illegals are given free trips on planes to go anywhere they want to in America. Trust in Jesus.
The scariest thing of all is the repeated Denial by "authorities" that anything is going on.
And they are right because trafficking doesn't happen like that. What's the purpose of marking someone? You just spook them off. Real trafficking often works psychologically on vulnerable people (e.g. poverty, homelessness, substance abuse). It makes no sense to tag a pricy car of a middle class woman who will obviously arm herself or call her husband to protection.
Car theft does happen though.
@@tomaccinoNot so, they are/were relying on the ignorance of people. However, as awareness of these tactics spreads, it will become less effective. They will use any and all methods to abduct women for sx trafficking and kids for torture/adrenochrome harvesting, but that is slowly disappearing thanks to the military.
That's because they're a part of it... these networks of people are compromised of police, hotels, politicians, teachers, etc.
Maybe because they have no saved anyone trafficked so far by these methods so far... Frankly can we trust the government when they're protecting Pedophiles and the filrs of Epsteins client list??? Trust your gut and intuition and Do not listen to those that dont value your life as much as their own...
@@tomaccinoYep a lot of this is fear mongering. It's like the fear mongering and propaganda trying to make everyone believe that crime has increased tenfold when crime rates are some of the lowest they've been in decades. Crime has come down massively since the 1980s and 1990s though the theory is that has to do with people having way less lead exposure which ended up making people commit more crimes lol
Just remember, if you're in a 1300 kg metallic land torpedo and you're being threatened... you're in a 1300 kg metallic land torpedo. Use it.

Bundy used these exact tactics, and was horribly successful.
Bundy didn't mark cars, he faked injuries.
Even if they're not tagging your car for trafficking, they could be tagging it for theft. Stay safe out there guys.
Okay but I see my car as a part of my family so if they steal it they ain't living to tell the tale
It is a pile of scrap metal and as of little value as paper bills, in comparison to the value of your or anyone elses life.
Just my thoughts.
@@Psykrom That's very true. Cars are replaceable; lives are not.
Arm yourselves, if you live in a free state
@@Eduardo_Espinoza Unfortunately we're not allowed to carry here. You can't even defend your home from intruders unless you wanna end up in jail.
Another bit of advice. If you’re ever being followed while driving, drive to the nearest police station! Park as close to the building as possible and wait a while. They will most likely drive away but if they keep persisting honk your horn to get the attention of the officers inside. I’ve unfortunately had to do this once already.
I have that in mind everytime I have to drive early morning to work or late nights from work…
cops are just the mafia for rich people. no one with a functional brain cell thinks cops have any intention of public safety. to them public means "rich peoples stuff" and everything else are just animals and tools to be exploited by the rich people
Police stations in a lot of places are closed to the public at night, so keep in mind that it's also a good option to drive to the nearest fire station or emergency room!
Drive right up to the front door and lay on the horn until an officer comes out! Seriously, stop being ridiculous, you don't want to give a criminal an extra second! I've had to do it myself too; police would rather you embarrassed than dead. Park as close to the door and wait, good Lord, now you're cornered! It's loud in those police stations, let them hear you darling! I used to institutionalize lunatics and they move fast. The things I've seen them do to police alone, terrifying! Turn on the car alarm, lay on the horn, and scream your bloody head off! I survived 22 years by making them think I was crazier than they were, and psycopaths don't like that kind of attention!
@@christinepettett9138 as a 12 yr vet LEO THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY to get some one to look out both window
During the depression my grandmother said that because she would feed men who were homeless or asked to work for food, she learned that her home was "tagged" with a sign that others recognized as a good home to stop at. Just be aware that anything unusual is likely to be a trap. Women, walk in groups, be aware, never park next to a vehicle with dark windows. This is so scary. My husband sat in our car while I ran into Walmart to buy several gift cards at Christmas. What I didn't know, a man stood outside & followed me, according to my husband. When I got to my parked car & the man saw my husband standing there, the man abrubtly turned and grabbed his phone & began to talk to someone. My husband said the man had followed me.
I used to go to the same store every day, so everyone knew me. One night…I was walking less than 20 feet to my car when cashier comes outside and is shouting to me. I thought he was just messing around, but then he just walked over to my car and stood there. He was a little irritated when he told me that there had been a man who was making a beeline for my car the moment I stepped outside. He said he noticed the guy watch me come into the store and had just waited for me! I considered myself to be a very aware person when it comes to my surroundings, but I had not noticed the man at all. My hands shook all the way home. Now, I am twice as vigilant…even in the daytime. I lock my car the SECOND the door shuts…no messing with my phone, or even starting the car. I even use my remote start to throw people off if I feel funny. I’d rather look crazy than get snatched up, or worse. Whaddaya gonna do?👀🤷🏾♀️
good home to stop at for what? food? I hope it was tagged for good reasons and not to harm your grandma
If nothing else, this should make everyone pay more attention to their surroundings.
This is why I am a huge believer that woman should carry and be trained on what they carry.
Yes! 10000%!
I'm pretty sure Bill Gates & the rich tycoons just want more victims like Epstein Island.
@lisa-shitsakwibjnie3761 💯
The great equalizer
I’m all for this but if your attacker overpowers you it could make the situation more dangerous. I think a woman who Carrie’s should be trained in both how to use it and self defense. All bets are off if your attacker gains control of your weapon.
@@cat_alyst6306 Getting overpowered is a danger to anyone, thats why response time and training are critical. But with training and awareness, you are still much better off with protection.
I drove up to a self serve gas station ( 25+ years ago) there was one other car at the pumps. You had to go in and fill a card with how much gas you wanted to buy and then come back out and fill up. As I got out of my car a woman with a missing hand came up to me and said that she had recently broken her wrist( on her good hand) and needed help starting the ignition. I went over to her car and noticed the back seat had clothes tossed in back...filling it completely. I noticed she was standing very close to the driver's door which made me suspicious. I started to lean in to turn the key and she said just sit down and start it.... that was the last straw.... I walked away saying she'd have to ask someone else for help. I went in paid for my gas card and when I came out she was gone. I was thinking there may have been someone under all those clothes and I would have been trapped after she slammed the driver's door shut. This experience has haunted me and is more vivid than what I did last week.
Glad you got free! If she had a broken wrist, it would be swollen, or discolored or dangling in an odd way. I'd take her inside the store and see if she could have a temporary splint until she goes gets treatment. So glad you knew something was off, when she wanted you to go in the car. Good to bring things to the light of truth.
Did you ever stop to wonder how she got there in the first place if she needed assistance starting her car?
@@KAT-dg6el I believe it was a ruse. I suspect a guy was hiding under all those clothes and if I had sat down in that driver's seat it would have been the end of my life as I knew it. My only regret is that I didn't take the plate number as went in to pay for gas.
You've got good instincts. Always listen to your gut. Better a false alarm than a bad situation.
@@raiderjohnthemadbomber8666 Thanks for that... I owe a debt of gratitude to the makers of The Silence of the Lambs for giving me some of that gut instinct for this case. In case you haven't seen it there is a guy with a cast on acting all helpless and tricks a woman into helping load a sofa into his van. There were so many red flags, in my case, that it could have been a Soviet parade 🤣
If there’s a tissue or napkins in your door handle & you don’t have a glove, get in on the passenger side instead so you don’t get drugged by the napkin.
Keep a pen in your purse and push it out with the pen.
I had someone take a photo of me in my car in my driveway. I have monitored security cameras all around my house. There are a lot of bad people in the world
As a truck driver I have been getting harassed all times of the late night early morning by an organization on the highway every night for two and a half years I made police report in every state and noticed that even state troopers were sitting by watching this activity as they performed illegal tactics after about a year of harassment in every state I realized that I had to protect myself I realized that no one was going to save me
Hmmm ANTIFA hard at work spreading fear at the tax payers expense. Wonder when all the 20 something year old illegals fit in with this as well...
Good grief
@kc5716
TI?
Which organization is this?
corrupt highway patrol is prolly on it, like in Mexico
My granddaughter and 2 other girls were almost taken from a restaurant with 7 families in one area. The person was staying in a motel close to the restaurant. So don’t listen when people say that this doesn’t happen. It does.
Right, there's probably only 1% of cases like this because people usually pick up on the scheme within time. That would also explain why the scheme changes. If it were a solid 100% success they wouldn't change it around and mix it up.
It absolutely is done....a teen was just taken from a bathroom in NC.....you DON'T ALWAYS know your trafficker....that's BS
I'm confused, were the 7 families also almost taken or what exactly..? This is a strangely written sentence. How were the almost taken about to be in trouble..?
This is happening so much in usa alone there's hundreds of thousands of kids missing each year. God bless everyone.
Exactly
It makes you wonder, some of those people debunking claims, are they involved?
of course they are, it's been well documented for nearly 20 years
I was getting ready to post the same thing.
Good critical thinking my friend. 👍
Keep your head on a swivel.
@@jakerobinhoodson4136 it's not critical thinking, it's just a possibility you should count in.
Whether this is factual or not, it's still prudent to be vigilant anywhere you are.
One day in a mall parking lot, 😮I noticed 2 young men standing outside of their car videotaping people, including me, walking to our cars. I started to turn around and go back in the store, but I was too close and would have been very obvious. When I got home, I called mall security and alerted them what was happening. They said they would go check it out. Could have been a trafficking ring or anything these days. Stay vigilant!!!!
Useful tip that can save your life ladies ... never, NEVER, drive face first into your parking space. If you do that you have effectively "trapped" the steering of your vehicle in a confined space and you have to go further back, then change gear before you can get away. Reversing INTO your parking space means you're ready to get out of there ... a short way forward and you're already in the right gear (drive) to accelerate away. Much quicker in an emergency and much safer for you.
Never thought of that but it makes sense.
True!
Always back in, faster and what the og poster said as well. Can be a game changer.
Thank you
It's called tactical parking,
Y’all, if you ever see anything on your car or windshield- don’t stay there to examine it. Get in the car, lock the door, and go somewhere else to stop if needed. Stay safe guys
Even if human traffic isn’t a criminals ends goal- they could just wanna rob you, SA or kidnap for reasons other than to sell a person.
If they don’t put a poison napkin on ur door.
@@ll2323lol that pure nonsense 😂
What if its bird poop?
@@ll2323maybe not here in the US but I’m from Latin America and sadly random drugging does happen but it’s almost always to rob someone. It happened to my aunt, someone approached her and asked her for directions. It’s the last thing she remembers and came to hours later, unsure of where she was with her bank account wiped. It happens a lot in my country and everyone knows someone that it’s happened to. Incredibly traumatic, but sadly common. I’m glad it’s not a huge problem here
@@Estassi55 I don't know why they always do that. So tramatizing
A co-worker of mine said her husband prevented her kidnapping at a gas station noticing a van with approaching her with a towel in their hand

At lights and intersections, always give enuf room IN FRONT OF YOU, SO YOU CAN PULL OUT
I learned this in a very scary situation. I was stuck in traffic, and some guys started fighting on the sidewalk. The fight spilled into the street…then…a DRIVER gets out of his car with a “weapon”….I was just a sitting duck and wanted to 💩 my pants. I never felt so trapped in my life…so, yeah. I leave at least a car’s length in front of me.
Edit: I also like to stick to the right hand lanes as to not be trapped by traffic on both sides, as well. It is also good for making a quick “dip” if you think you are being followed. It’s sad that we need evasive action in every day life.👀
I live in Mexico and I literally drive alone all the time. I’m 5ft 5in tall, thin, (I’m small, y’all) Before I leave my house I check my car to see if anything is off. Wherever I walk I’m never on my phone, it’s either in my bag or my pocket and I’m constantly looking I’m every direction. BE AWARE! Always leave your car in places where there are many cars. If there is a suspicious car eg; van, big car, etc don’t approach get a safety guard, or someone from the store to accompany you to your car. When you get to your car, check the backseats while unlocking your car quickly, get into your car, turn it on and lock your doors quickly. Don’t put down your windows until you’re already driving. Always be suspicious, babies. Stay ALERT!! Stay safe. May seem exaggerated but your life is first always!
Try to park under a sirvaliance camera if the parking lot has them too.
Mexico is on another level on danger.
i will start carrying my car key as a weapon or have something weapon like and small with my car key on my keychain in hand and ready now. may your angels always be watching over you and protecting you too 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
I went to grad school in North Philly. One of my female friends would head to the lot with her key sticking out of her fist like a weapon to strike. She could unlock her car door, get in, relock the door and get the car started and into gear in like 30 seconds. There was a very sobering safety brief the first week of school and it sunk in with some of us.
While trafficking may mainly target one specific demographic, absolutely anybody can be a victim of it. To completely dismiss these situations is ignorant and dangerous.
What's the demographic?
Abby is not a police officer or detective so, always be careful, you never know what kind of tactics ppl will use. Don’t be careful and you will find out the truth too late.
Also be careful if vehicles are driving really slow in front of your vehicle. Like if the speed limit is 35 miles an hour and the vehicle in front of you are driving 20 mile an hour something is up
Best thing you can do is hopefully there are a few cross roads that are NOT dead ends is to take the next left into a side road that isn’t a dead end and NOT to signal. Taking a right turn is more noticeable in a rear view mirror from the car going twenty miles an hour,and if the driver in front of you notices that you took a right turn,they can take the next right turn,and catch up with you maneuvering through the neighborhood if they are experts in that city.
@femalesoliderforjc1970 sure, be alert and check. But 99% of the time this is an inexperienced learner driver or elderly driver who isn't confident. My girlfriend drives like this as she drives rarely, like once a year.
I'm from South Africa. I experienced something that made me very uneasy. Me, my husband and grandchild were in the mall in Heidelberg, GP, when a woman approached us and asked to take a photo of me and my husband, "because she has never seen people of our age to be so in love. I found it strange that she wanted us to turn our backs to her. I am sure she actually took photos of my grandson; he was only 6 years old at that stage. At the time, I did not think, it was only when she was in 'n hurry to leave, that it struck me that it may be preparation for abduction of the child. We made for the car, holding him between us. For a very long time, we did not take him to the mall with us again. Please people, be aware of your surroundings and if you notice something, rather go back into the mall and ask for security to accompany you to your car.
That is exactly what she was up to. Glad you and hubby protected your grandchild. I trust no one but Jesus, The Christ, The Son of God.✝️🙏
Thats freaky
The biggest piece of advice that I've ever gotten to help in these situations is that your car is your weapon. Do not stall, do not open your windows, and do not worry about the safety of your car or people around it in a survival situation. If you are ever stopped by suspicious people or cars, use your car to brute force your way through barriers or roadblocks. And never drive home, immediately drive yourself to a police station or to a highly dense, public area. As a young, newly adult female, the idea of running through barriers or threatening people scared me too, but your car is there to protect you. Just some helpful advice amongst the sea of others. Like many others have said, just be smart, vigilant, and trust your gut! And use tactics to avoid these situations in the first place! 🙂🙂
Don't do it mindlessly -- have some understanding of physics. You don't want to have your vehicle disabled, leaving yourself as a "sitting duck."
@@keensoundguy6637 Oh no, most definitely! Always be mindful of what your vehicle is and what it can handle! But, like the clip in the video, if a person blocks the road with a pylon or another barrier type and starts approaching admits complete darkness like that, I wouldn't even stop to ask what is wrong. I'd drive straight through those pylons, not really worried about navigating through them lol
Wont protect much if a piece of led flys after you
@@countrylife8853so are you suggesting they just stay put and get shot since they might get shot by your imagination anyway?
Still think a . 45 is more convenient...
It’s easy for someone who is not in the position to say these are harmless pranks … but those who are the victims or whose cars are marked “know” that these are real …
I was a DSS at 2 pm broad daylight when a man jumped into my car but he quickly left after finding out i carry! 😂
Lmboo 😂😂😂 I can only imagine that!!!
When I was a teenager and coming home from visiting my friend Lisa's house (same small country rural town) a car was following me with their emergency flashers on. I had the idea to stop my car and waited until a guy got out and started walking to my car. I then took off fast and was out of sight before he could attempt to follow me again. Thanking God for His Love and protection then and now.
This is why I carry, and yes, I walk out with my hand on firearm when I'm alone. Someone is getting ran over if they're in the road with cones in the middle of the night.

I was in my apartment and a well manicured man wearing a tee shirt and worn paint splashed steel toe boots knocked on my door. He had an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper and told me that he was here to check my washing machine. He was not let in. He didn't have a uniform. He said that he was a new employee. I never saw him again.
When in a parking lot, I always park facing outbound so I can pull out directly and not have to back out.
Snopes hahaha, you've got to be kidding.
fact checked: Yes... absurd to do so.
I'm a lot less likely to regret being overly cautious with my personal safety than not cautious enough. Any decent person, even harmless, would understand why someone would fear a random encounter while vulnerable.
People tell me I'm paranoid but we shouldn't be surprised what humans are capable of doing.
I don't care what these experts say, I'm taking heed to what these people are saying.
The cutting of ankles from the 70's actually did happen... not a made up thing and I know this because it happened to people I knew back then. It's better to be safe than sorry and I do not believe for a second that "mostly" abductions or traffickers are "intimate friends" or people you know. That just seems a bit of a stretch.
I mean, that statistic is true, as it’s easier to take someone who’s following willingly than by force. Plus, it follows the same logic as why you’re more likely to be sexually assaulted, kidnapped, and murdered by someone you know. But it’s not uncommon for it to be strangers either. It’s how stalkers exist. Human trafficking is horrendously common in poorer countries. However, while it’s not impossible, it doesn’t actually happen in America as often as people think. What is common, is SA and robbery, which is just as likely to be perpetrated by a complete stranger.
Thank you for all of this information. We are moving cross country so it was helpful. Thankfully we have big dogs coming along.❤
That woman towards the end is so wrong. there are two types of trafficking. One involves people they know. The other involves strangers it does happen I have heard stories and it almost happened to me and a friend in downtown Portland when I was 19. A man on the phone right behind us said, " I have two girls (and something about) black leather." At an upcoming bus stop I told my friend I had to fix my shoe. He passed us..but looked back at us after he passed while I was "fixing my shoe." We thought we were free and clear. We found ourselves on a street with no people and suddenly there is another man on the phone behind us. We speed up a lot. He speeds up. I told my friend to pull aside she did and he passed us but slowed down....and kept looking at us..
When he got a small distance I told her, "Run." And we ran back the opposite direction ... coming from what would have been behind us had we kept going...around the corner was another man and he chased us until we got to a store to get inside. He spoke to my friend as we entered the store and he stood outside the store waiting there. I pointed to him so he could see me pointing to the men who worked there...and he soon left. We stayed in that store a very long time.portland used to be a major hub for trfkmng. . . To the point it was called the black rose. . . I have watched a news story about two teens who were rescued from being trfks to another state and sold as you know what's.... and it was amazing they escaped... but someone was almost Bea to death in the process of rescuing them... most girls never get saved.
The big city is a messed up place now, I recently went back & the second I got there it was like a open prison yard jungle, glad I'm nowhere near there now.
You should also have a big dog that's also a certified help dog for the store.
I saw a hooded fellow walk up behind a lady very briskly. Mind you it was a hot summer night in Florida and this man had a sweater hoody. He crossed the street as soon as he noticed me following behind, like he randomly bolted across the street suddenly and walked slowly on the other side. I kept looking at him even as I passed I looked back and eventually he turned off down a completely different path. I think that woman was none the wiser or possibly even suspected me instead. But she did not get taken that night at least.
@@danielthompson3928 you saved her. Well done. We need more men like you in the world.
As the border continues to be overrun expect more of this. Remember, every state is a border state given how the DNC operates.
She said most. You need to listen better. She said most for a reason.
Always keep an eye on your surroundings when alone in public. Especially at night. I’ve been followed 2 times, each time I had a gut feeling something was off. Trust your instincts, be safe, not sorry.
That's exactly why while I'm walking to my car at night I have my box cutter in my hand..
@tag3893 steel toe boots help too.
pepper spray is good too
The thing about touching things with chemicals is true, it's been happening in South Africa for years, it's witchcraft, I personally know four people who were victims to it, they lost consciousness and gave away their personal and private information and belongings, such as bank cards, pins, cellphones, savings, tablets and whatever valuables they had on them. I was targeted as well as my mother on separate occasions and the only reason we escaped was by praying to Lord Jesus. They'll either smear something on your clothes by 'accident', pretend to drop a thick roll of money which the unsuspecting victim will pick up to give it back, or they pretend to be foreigners who need assistance in English. So don't let anyone tell you it's 'folklore' it's true.
@@Eduardo_Espinoza Be aware pepper spray/mace is considered a concealed weapon in some states and requires a permit.
If something..is on your vehicle... don't touch it. RUN! Someone, is hanging around your car...call the cops.
It is absolutely absurd they edited out the word trafficed
You should still be cautious if you see weird stuff going on. Regardless if they've proof that it's happened or not. That sick feeling in your stomach, is there for a reason. Never ignore it.
Yes, I've had that feeling when someone is looking at me from behind my back, then when I check they look away.
exactly 👍
Exactly. If your warning bells are going off then listen to them.
Got to feel sorry for girls and young women especially. There's enough problems in life without the threat of being kidnapped and sold.
Thank you
Its like you didnt watch the video.
What freaked me out was when I heard they have a ring of boys for selling as well. (Another video on another day).

@@geewhiz5926 loll hopefully they never pick you out then.. well it might be a good thing cuz you would end up drawing attention to them XD pretty sure they pick out the vulnerable and broken to avoid attention in the end
I live near a city and here they regularly put weird heavy trash on my window, like spoiled milk, a waterfilled empty bottle of herbs. Its because my blinds are always down, they try to see if Im home.
Happens very regularly
Also please don't forget that there are good and kind people in this world. Be smart and aware of your surroundings. Be kind until the situation warrants you unable to. Learning how to defend yourself will take anxiety and fear out of the equation and put them in a healthy place where they belong.
I'm not a woman but I always go on hyper alert if I see anything unusual. At 68, I always carry concealed whenever I'm on the streets. Being a gentleman and a vet I will always help others when I see them in danger. The scumbags got nothing on me.
I get that these are urban legends and they probably do more harm than good, but at least these stories put the idea in womens minds. That's at least helpful.
That being said, I'm one of many who will run towards the sound of screaming, do make a lot of noise and I'll come help.
I understand that women are considered vulnerable and that's why I recommend a GOOD personal defense class. You go girl!
That's nice to know 👵
A very rare thing in South Africa! - someone to help you when you get attacked...? Well done, You are a hero!

A cousin of mine was sprayed with perfume at a mall’s bathroom and almost passed out but her husband was waiting for her outside so thank god nothing happened! Be careful, also a girl i know was touched with a gel type substance on her arm and then she passed out, she was lucky enough of not being alone and getting help quick, so… poisoning could happen by the touch of something🙃
You mean a man sprayed your cousin with perfume
@@ManiyaVinas no, a woman was inside the bathroom and she asked her if she liked perfume and before my cousin could answer, she sprayed her with it

@@Turbocharged200 nah, they want easy targets. Just be confident that whoever tries something is going to remember the day they chose you as their target and they'll pick up that vibe and avoid you. They are not willing to get hurt over it, surprisingly enough.
remember: if a hooded figure approaches you on the road and they are performing any ominous action, it is better to be judged by 12 than be carried by 6, stomp the gas and run, if they get in front then it sucks for them to be cosplaying a deer in front of a vehicle
During the 80s I was in my twenties one time I was walking home from my ex's parents' house. At that time I was dating him. Well, a vehicle slowed down behind me. I was on the sidewalk at the time. When I noticed it. I decided to turn up the sidewalk that belonged to a home. The person then sped off.
Another time, I was sitting hunched over while waiting for my man near the bus stop not far from a restaurant we were going to eat at that night. Someone decided to park about 10 feet from me. I would say that he thought I was a young woman. I was in my late 30s at that time. When the bus came and my man started to walk to me. The driver drove off in a hurry. It helped that I had stood up and went to meet my man.
Abby, whatever her was? Yes, they are waiting & watching to pounce. About 35 years ago in small town Laurel, Mississippi. Another coworker of mine was out walking late in the evening with her 15 year old daughter. Two men jumped out of a vehicle & attempted to take her daughter. She fought them hard & her daughter got away, barely. They nearly got her in the vehicle. This happened in broad daylight, in a WHITE neighborhood, & neither mother nor daughter knew them. The police caught them & they told the police they were attempting to abduct her to sell her for prostitution. It made the papers. Yes, it can & does happen. This was before SM back in the 1990s. Be aware of people & your surroundings.
I don’t care if there is no evidence. My wife had a coworker who woke up in another country. They didn’t know the person who did it and this is not social media story as this happened before there was even social media.
This has been going on for decades !
@@kookietherapy9398Makes some of us thankful to the God who has kept us safe all this time and who will continue to do so, can’t imagine how many close calls He protected us from!

@@havad3938 I don’t feel like I should share what was done to her. All I will say is she was lucky to get away with her life; though at the time I am not sure she thought so. Luckily, she made her way to a US Consulate and after a short while the US government got her a passport and flew her home. My wife has worked with her for a number of years. A very sweet lady and I am sorry she experienced that.
Wow - excellent video! Very informative.
What I’ve learned over the years is that the most important thing everyone should practice is situational awareness. In other words: keep your head on a swivel!! 😊
I've recently found three times (about once a week) someone messing with my passenger side windshield wiper area in my apartment building parkade (there are hundreds of people in my building and I'm 5 levels down). I thought it was a fellow resident who might be trying to terrorize/annoy me since they weren't things that actually damaged my car. One was that the wiper rubbery part was pulled out a bit so the wiper didn't work (but I didn't notice this until I drove outside), The next was a glass bottle left in that space which I saw before I drove (a relief because it could have fallen and shattered and been much more of a problem), and the third was that wiper was put up in the air. It hasn't until now occurred to me that something more sinister and dangerous could be going on like trying to get me to the other side of the car distracted. I was just going to see if something else happened before reporting to my building and trying to find out if it was happening to anyone else. But it's not like finding this out in public because they know you're going to come back to your car fairly quickly at a store parking lot, but at my place they wouldn't be able to wait forever.
Buy a cheap mini camera and fix it on your dash pointing outward. Amazon sells them.
In other words, stay off of your cellphone while walking. Do NOT wear ear pieces while walking. Don’t act like a victim!
But can you blame us for being scared? We women are so vulnerable, it's better to be safe than sorry
Women have always been vulnerable that's why strong men are needed, but masculinity is somehow toxic now
Ps: i'm a woman
Borderline paranoid, beyond scared. This world is getting darker by the minute
Being wary is one thing; being paranoid, and *especially* spreading false facts about trafficking around social media is somethinn else entirely.

But can you blame us? Also they didn't say they were false... Less than 1% isn't false... It's still real.

So many of these people seem to be "influencers" and you could almost make a drinking game out of how many times you hear tiktok
about 35 years ago I had two women try and get my then 13 year old son into their car in a small town just off of the interstate! Fortunately I had discussed kidnapping attempts with him and he was aware.... but the thing is this was 35 years ago!!!!! These women were total strangers to him so don't tell me that this stuff doesn't happen! I can't imagine how much more clever that they are now!
Two issues with the "debunking" at the end.
First, so-called "fact-checking" websites are not arbiters of truth, and just because there isn't a police report doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Second, "less than 1% of cases" means there are women falling victim to these tactics, and considering that millions of people are trafficked every year, I'd say that number is significant.
Exactly. "fact checkers" like Snopes were created as an extension of supporting the globalist narratives, so naturally they are going to downplay this problem
don't worry about hurting someone's feelings.......protect YOUTSELF.....period.
I saw a woman being followed in Walmart and he followed everywhere she Wenzhou,so I told her before she checked out!
Its no wonder I stay home as much as possible. I don't feel safe anywhere.
I used to hitchhike.
Too many random murders now.
It's, oddly, much easier that way.
If you do this, you will let the evil ppl win. You gotta live your life - just do it w/ awareness and take common sense precautions. Be proactive so you won't have to be reactive.
Come back, covid lockdowns, all is forgiven!😂
@@thatswhatisaid8908 😂 My lifestyle didn't really change when it happened.
If theres something on your car, ALWAYS be aware and be alert, do not listen to these people who are debunking, and saying these things are harmless. Please be careful.
Of course people are debunking this because trafficking doesn't happen like that. Does no one ask themselves what's the purpose of marking someone? You just spook them off. Real trafficking often works psychologically on vulnerable people (e.g. poverty, homelessness, substance abuse). It makes no sense to tag a pricy car of a middle class woman who will obviously arm herself or call her husband to protection.
Car theft does happen though.
Ofcourse the government is trying to deny it.. 🧐 SUS AF!!
Exactly! It doesn't have to be traffickers to be dangerous. Somebody could be planning to try to take your car, or assault you.
Always question experts. Experts do not know everything bad actors are doing. Experts just go by what is most common. Bad actors can easily outsmart smug experts.
Exactly. Debunking means it's true.
Last tip, always park your car in reverse so that upon your return the car is ready to leave. Ah, get yourself a gun, learn how to use it.
Good video.
Keep making this stuff aware to people.
I work as a store mgr in a big box store. I can tell you that on average, 2x a month men will come in and follow teenage girls. Different men, different girls each time. I have called police multiple times while working there about this. Then have never gotten a girl, thank God! We are very aware of this and as employees try to deter them, walking near them, asking them for if they need help, etc. Monitoring them on camera by our security, etc. This "big box store" will NEVER post this in the news because they will lose business. As employees we can be fired for speaking out about criminal events.
So trust me, there are plenty of creepers who are out there trying to get young girls.
Thank You for your honesty!
Whether they know or not they appreciate being safe shopping in your store and if they don't that'd only be because they don't know how much your store is doing to keep them safe.
Not fun fact the age who are most likely kidnapped are kids over 12.
Thanks for the heads up.
Good to know big box store managers are looking out for these young girls & possible predators, it's awful how dangerous it's become out there for them.
1. When walking to your car look at your surroundings.
2. Don’t hang out in your car in a parking lot.
3. Getting to the car, check the backseat.
4. Keep aware of your surroundings. If it feels unsafe, call the police.
Just please don't shoot me if I am loading my groceries in the car next to you.
Already in the car before checking the backseat would be way too late 🙏🙏🙏
I have to be alert especially at night, even be watchful when approaching your car in the parking lot. Look out for strangers nearby, or occupied parked cars. Best to be in a lighted area nearest the store. Good idea to go into a store if you suspect you are being tailed. It happened to me once too.
@@hphan7549check as you get in…
@@carolm.5260Flash light would be to carry any time you leave your house at night
Always carry your keys with one long key in between two knuckles. Makes a great weapon
You can run those cones over, they are rubber. Never stop for people like that. Stay aware at all times, even for guys. Wise up!
Just be careful all the way around, just because there's been NO cases with these things being used doesn't mean they won't be in the future. The world is getting darker and we'd do well to stay alert at all times.
I had a guy come up to my car while I was waiting for a friend to come out of the grocery store in late afternoon hours with my small dog in my lap. Something told me to lock my doors and fast, i clicked the keyfob twice and locked my doors, my dog proceeded to go nuts as a large man came up and tried my doors. It was hair raising. And I don't have a nice car, i have a crusty ol sunfire with peeling paint and this was the car he targeted. I'm always on high alert, but after that I'm hyper vigilante and I encourage everyone else to be.
Not to mention we don't know for certain that there are no cases, there's plenty of crime that goes unreported because the victim never gets the chance. Who knows how many people have been taken that never escaped or been found. We only know part of what happens out there, so we can't discount something with 100% certainty
@@wolvie1618 This is very true, as women and just humans in general we need to be on our toes at all times. Cause if not you, it'll be someone else. So some of this could be misinformation but a large chunk could literally be being used right this second and we'd never know. We can't discredit any safety precautions just cause bad actors on tik tok, it might just save someone's life or a loved ones.
There unfortunately HAS been instances where I live and it's been going on for a long time as well.
Gut feelings are always helpful in the worst of times. ❤️
People obviously mark the cars for a reason and it definitely isn't for anything good.
Either its a prank to creep the girl out or something much much worse.
These people in the clip saying thatthis isn't how human traffickers work can't possibly know that its true in every case.
There is a lot of missing people that never get found and even if they get rescued its not aure they would find out that they car was tagged.
And its videos evidence that women have been jumped on the way to their car and kidnapped so it definitely does happen.
Even if "1%" of trafficking has happened using those tactics, that's still tooooo many. Stay safe out there people!
Walk to your car with someone you know. Don't walk alone in a dark parking lot.
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS! ALWAYS BE ARMED AND KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR FIREARM!
This may not be organized trafficking. It could be individuals looking to imprison and enslave. The outcome is the same.
Happened to me in the mountains late at night, 2 cars and someone laying in the back seat of one of them --5 people there and they tried to flag me down so I floored it and signaled the car behind me that my husband was in. they jumped in front of my car and I would have run them over on purpose if they did not jump back. It was a setup for sure. This was over 40 years ago folks, this is nothing new.
All the people that deny these tactics are probably in the trafficking network themselves.
my thoughts exactly!
Just like 90 percent of time a person is murdered by someone they know , but not always sometimes it's random,
Low budget traffickers probably, don't have homes careers or even cars , pay off would be hugh for them , but not karmically ,that's for sure , to bad these people don't fear the unseen realm , Iam afraid they would be in for a big surprise
There is absolutely no proof to any of these theories
@danarigdon1591 same with traffickers
Regardless if these are examples are not of HUMAN TRAFFICKING or kidnapping attempts...continue to be cautious & go with your "gut" feeling on the matter. It is not normal to have these objects placed on a car period. So be AWARE of your surroundings.
You have a right to protect your family and yourself. As Kyle proved in court. So protect yourself people.
I'd rather be cautious in a carpark alone... than potentially kidnapped. No matter how low the likelihood
That is a good thing but I sure wouldn't want to be mistaken for a crook when I was just another person going to my car, and get shot.
Snopes cant be trusted. In the late 1990s, my niece was walking behind her mother and grandmother, across a parking lot to go inside a store. A woman that she didnt know was over at a pay phone on the side of the building, and had overheard my nieces name spoken by her mother. The woman called out to my niece using her name and actually told her that the phone call was for her. Twice, she did this, but my niece being street smart just gave her a dirty look and went on in the store. This happened at a time when stories were going around about people kidnapping girls with long blond hair for occult sacrifice.
If it's a tissue don't touch it.
Now we need cameras on our cars.
In this day and time, anything could happen! Always be aware of your surroundings!
A woman telling other women to ignore strange signs and unexplained occurrences which could result in her abduction or death, does not have good intentions. The woman at 23:43 is beyond disgusting.
That’s what I was thinking. It’s almost like them saying I’m just don’t worry about it. It’ll be attention to nothing. Just go on about your business. It’s almost like they want you to be abducted or something to hurt. strange
@@BuggyD77Try taking your time when you write it's like you're trying to say five things at once.
But when you actual do pay attention to it is when it's working in their favor.
Some women are Stockholm syndrome
Even if something isn't the "usual tactic" why not pay attention to your surroundings and protect yourself? It's like telling people "well, r@pe usually happens by someone you know, so don't bother being scared by that strange man jogging behind you, it's statistically rare!"
it’s always tiktok.. 😭😭
This is a good thing. You know this know bcuz of tiktok 🙌

The fact checkers are part of it! Do not let your guard down. Stay safe.
I’ve been in dangerous situations like this. I gave a ride to a stranger and was almost kidnapped. I will never let a stranger near me again.

That’s exactly why you never pick up anyone you do not know
It's really sad how low someone will go to take advantage of someone elses kindness

these incidents are the reason why I am not overly nice to strangers!!! If I don't know you- we don't have anything to talk about.
Wow, plastic surgery seems to be the norm out there. They all look sad.
Amazingly while human trafficking is highest now than ever in the history of the human race, people would attempt to dismiss anything that could potentially target anyone is insane or they are dismissing what they themselves are doing.
Yeah, and these same "sources" would say that Sound of Freedom is greatly exaggerated, too. My fiance's mother was stalked by a stranger recently. Yes, there are plenty of online personas, family members, and friends and other people known to the victim that are most typically a perpetrator, but there are more tactics being orchestrated every day, since human trafficking is growing exponentially every day, with victims and cartels being virtually unstoppable at the border. I'm glad that you included information about being aware of your surroundings, as well as how to practically fight back.
Don’t be on your cellphone while walking around know your surroundings
Another tip: Change the settings on your car's central locking so ONLY your driver's door unlocks. One click the driver's door unlocks, two clicks all doors unlock. People have been carjacked when someone jumps into the back seat from the other side of the car when you get into the driver's seat. Check your car's user manual or Google how to adjust this setting.
