Everyone has seen weird stuff at Wal Shart as well I know.
Thing is, we're in Texas. The trafficking business was hurting pretty bad over the last 4 years. I think it's open season again thanks to the current occupation in DC.
(Before you start up with the why are you shopping there? That is entirely irrelevant to what I just told you)
Keep you're loved ones safe.
What region of Texas was this if you don't mind me asking?
Right in between Waco and Beaumont.
That's a pretty big gap, but unfortunately where I live would also fall into that region. As a younger woman, I'm always extra cautious because SE Texas is a big hub for trafficking.
yes, been a lot of traffickers caught in the Houston area.
I've had 2 different experiences in Houston that I'm about 99% sure were close calls with traffickers. Once in a parking lot and another at the Galleria. The parking lot one was the scariest because it was probably my 2nd day living in Texas and I really think I would have been taken if my mom hadn't walked up at the right moment. I was unloading my car at a hotel and a dude came driving up and tried to talk to me through the window, saying how I was pretty and shit. I told him thanks but no thanks and that I was in a relationship. He drove off, but then a minute later pulled back around and came up to me. Literally right at that moment, my mom walked back to the car and the dude sped off. Gives me chills thinking about it.
Shit! What kind of cautionary steps do you have to take?? Are there any places that are especially worse than others?
Avoid road side stops like the plague. I’d rather my kids pee their pants.
I just try to be extra aware of my surroundings, and I also don't really like going anywhere alone at night, even if its just the grocery store or gas station. I pretty much make my husband run any nighttime errands like that. I also keep a knife on me whenever I go running.
keep calm CARRY ON
