Ugh! Why is my mother so paranoid?

She's always warning me about something or another. I swear if I listened to her I'd be perpetually balled up in the fetal position never ever leaving the house. She I guess she tends to believe those forwards warning people of how dangerous it is to go outside the house. This is the latest one she sent me. I emailed her back telling her to stop believing all that nonsense that 99.9% of them are not true. I knew this was fake before I ever looked it up on www.snopes.com Check this out. I don't know the validity of this story, but it's always best to be cautious at all times, and more so during this time of the year when people seem to be very desperate and will do anything to get a buck. Pass along to family, friends and loved ones. Make it a Happy Holiday season!! The Latest Scam: Robbing Females Using the Bathrooms at Shopping Malls. The way the scam works is, a man slips into the women's rest-room and sneaks into a stall. He waits until there is only one woman in the rest-room in a neighboring stall. The criminal then stands on the toilet and points a hand gun into the next stall, demanding the woman's valuables. After getting her cash and jewelry, he demands that she remove all of her clothing and kick them out of the stall. The thief tosses the clothing into a shopping bag, hangs an out of order sign on the rest-room door, 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 and humiliated in a mall full of strangers. The best defense, says police, is to never go into a shopping mall rest room 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 you. please tell your wife and friends.
