Gang Initiations at the Gas Pumps

Gang initiations at gas pumps

Are the stories about gang initiations and slashings true -- or are they an urban legend or hoax?

Gang Initiations at the Gas Pumps

A friend of hers stopped at a pay-at-the-pump gas station to get gas.

Once she filled her gas tank after paying at the pump and started to leave the attendant inside came over the speaker. He told her that something happened with her card and that she needed to come inside to pay. The lady was confused because the transaction showed complete and approved. she told him that and was getting ready to leave but the attendant once again urged her to come in to pay or else.

She proceeded to go inside and started arguing with the attendant about his threat. He told her to calm down and listen carefully: He told her that while she was pumping gas, a guy slipped into the backseat of her car on the other side and he had called the police. She immediately became scared and looked out there in time to see her car door open and the guy slip out.

The report is that the new gang initiation thing is to bring back a woman's body part. One way they are doing this is crawling under girls/women's cars while they're pumping gas or at grocery stores in the night time.

Then they are cutting the lady's ankles to disable them in order to kidnap them, kill and dismember them. The other way is slipping into unattended cars and kidnapping the women to kill and dismember them.

Please pass this on to other women, young and old alike. BE extra careful going to and from your car at night. If at all possible, don't go alone! This is real!!

Editors Note: There have been several variations of this. Although these stories sound possible, there are no verifiable incidents that have been reported.
