Beware of new technique used by robbers

 Just received this latest theft technique used by
robbers. It seems feasible so take heed.

Warning for all the ladies out there; and men
please inform your significant other. (And, hey, it could happen to
the guys!)

The Latest Scam: Robbing Females using the
restroom/"ladies"/bathroom at a Shopping Mall... ...

The way the scam works is, a man slips into a
women's rest room and sneaks into a unit. He waits until there is only one woman
in the restroom in a neighbouring unit/stall.

The criminal then stands on the toilet seat and
points a hand gun into the next unit/stall, demanding the woman's valuables.
After getting her cash and jewellery, he demands that she remove all of her
clothing and kick them out of the unit/stall. The thief tosses the clothing into a
shopping bag, hangs an "out of order sign" on the restroom door outside,
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 rest room in the nude, giving the
criminal ample time to make his get away. The woman is left naked humiliated in
a mall full of strangers. The best defence, 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.
