NEW RAPE SCAM!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!
NEW RAPE SCAM!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!
Please pass on to all your girlfriends, wives, etc. Just to be on the safe side. Please be aware and pass it on to anyone you think this will help.
Sunday afternoon around 5 PM I headed into the Target in
It was still light outside and I parked fairly close to the entrance. As I got out of my car and began walking towards Target, an older lady shouted to me
from the passenger seat of a car about 30 feet away from me.
'Ma'am you must help me, help me please, help me Ma'am!' I looked at her in the eyes and started to walk towards her when al l of a sudden I remembered
an email my Mom had sent me a week or two ago about rapists and abduct ions using elder people to lure women in.
I paused, memorized the license plate and immediately headed into Target to get a manager to come help this lady, just in case something was up.
While the woman manager headed out there, I kept a close watch just because I was curious what was wrong with the lady and wanted to be sure nothing happened.
As the Target lady walked up towards the car and got very close to the old woman in order to help her, the back door of the car flies open and a large man
with a stocking cap on, jumps out and sticks a gun to the lady's stomach as he shoves her into the back of the car.
I yelled out 'call 911' several times and just as I was saying that, a policeman who happened to be on the other side of the parking lot! And who, luckily
had seen the entire thing happen, raced over to the car.
He was able to stop the car and arrest the male as well as the old lady, who was involved in the scheme. By God's grace everyone was all right, including myself, although I think we were both shaken up.
Like many of you, I would not in a million years have left an elderly person who was yelling for help if it weren't for the e-mail I had read last week.
So, I wanted to pass this along so you all can be aware and remember that you really can't trust anyone these days.
You just never know when something like this could happen. I would have never dreamed it to happen to me especially on a Sunday afternoon at a Target in a safe area!
It definitely was not a coincidence that my Mom sent that email just a few days before this all happened. Please, be careful and always be aware of your surroundings.
Just because you individually don't go over to help someone doesn't mean you have to leave them in trouble , but don't go ALONE, you really don't know what might be going on.
This was checked with Snopes.com -
this is true - and they also use children to lure the victim!!
Retail Ventures' stock rises after purchase of 2 million shares
Retail Ventures' stock rises after purchase of 2 million shares

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Jay Schottenstein purchased more than 2 million shares of Retail Ventures stock in the past week, giving him about 55 percent of the parent company of DSW and Filene's Basement.
The purchases, made Monday and last Friday, sent the stock of Retail Ventures -- which had closed at under $1 for the two days prior to Schottenstein's purchases -- soaring. It closed at $3.06 today.
Like that of most retailers, Retail Ventures' stock has been trading at very low levels in recent months. It has fallen as low as 90 cents, down from a 52-week high of $7.46.
Michael Broidy, a vice president of privately held Schottenstein Stores who acts as a spokesman for Schottenstein, did not return a call seeking comment on the stock purchases. In October, Schottenstein bought more than 1 million shares of stock in shoe retailer DSW, which trades separately but is controlled by Retail Ventures.
Robert Shook, a Columbus-based business author who sat on the board of Retail Ventures for several years beginning in the 1990s, said that to an outsider, Schottenstein's move would seem to be a vote of confidence for Retail Ventures.
"He must think it's a good value, and he would know more than most people," Shook said.

Value City Department Stores Close

Published: December 23, 2008
COLUMBUS, Ohio—It’s been two months since Value City Department Stores filed for bankruptcy and the company closed its last two locations Tuesday.
The locations that closed included the stores on Innis Road and West Broad Street, NBC 4‘s Tanya Hutchins reported.
Longtime Columbus residents consider the company an institution. Value City Department Stores’ liquidation sale has items for 90 percent off, including all fixtures, furniture and equipment.
The signs were unavoidable and there was no shortage of shoppers.
“It was pretty bare. I’m used to a ton of stuff. There are people rummaging through everything. They’re selling wallpaper for 90 cents that’s supposed to go for $40. It’s pretty crazy in there and I got a bunch of dresses that go for $60 for $1.97,“ said Samantha Dress, a shopper.
The company wouldn’t comment Tuesday, but said when it filed for bankruptcy that it couldn’t handle the current financial crisis.
“I think that Value City has been a staple in Columbus for a long time. It’s kind of Columbus’ history, so it is really sad to see it go,“ said Dana Mason, an area resident.
Now, shoppers have to find a new department store and employees have to find new jobs.

NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON!
This could save your life!
I wonder how many people know about this ~
A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled her car. A resident of Kilgore, Texas , she was traveling between Gladewater & Kilgore. It was raining though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!
When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the highway patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on when your car begins to hydro-plane and your tires lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.
The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry. The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the patrolman), was a man who had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries. If you send this to 15 people and only> >one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it. You might have saved a life.
NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on.

Message from Sylvia - Store Ops
The time has come to say farewell to my family at Value City on December 12th. It has been a pleasure working with everyone, having had the opportunity to meet with many people it is clear that Value City is a close knit family, it is very difficult to say goodbye.

I will miss you and the company and wish everyone the best in their personal and professional endeavors.
“Life is about cherishing the past, facing the present, and moving ahead towards new milestones”.
Happy Holidays!
Take care and G-d Bless,
Sylvia
