Let me get this straight...
A woman gets text messages on her phone... In order to receive a text message from someone that someone sending the text must have the number of the phone they are texting to. So how could a stranger from a number the woman didn't recognize just up and send a text to the woman's phone a stranger wouldn't know the number to so they could say they were observing the person with the phone they wouldn't know the number to?
The woman is so upset over a text message she screams... Really? Screams? Because someone is watching her? Seems to be an over the top reaction?
The woman then runs to you asking of you are alone... Why would she ask that? Wouldn't she simply ask for help? Why the emphasis on whether or not you are alone?
My opinion....
One of two things... either the woman (and perhaps her friend hiding in the bushes) had nefarious plans for you if you had been alone or...
This story is BS.
Not at all. Happened to an old friend of mine from high school. Turns out her ex-husband's ex-girlfriend (with whom she used to be friends) went "stalking through the park one day!" (jingle-jangle) It really freaked her out, too, but she took her phone to the police and showed them the text messages. Their cyber-crimes unit swung into gear, obtained a warrent for harrassment, then the girl's number, name, and address, before arresting her.
She read some of them to me: "C u wlk nxt 2 statue" then "now by fntn" (fountain) But that's not what got the LEOs attention. It was subsequent comments like "ull die vry soon."
As for the question about him being alone, perhaps she wanted to make sure he was capable of combatting a stalker.
However, I, too wondered about the woman's lack of transportation... "Where's your car, Ma'am?" "Then how did you get here?" might be two good questions to ask before allowing her to get into your car.
Guys, we might be larger and stronger, on average, than women, but trust me on this one that I know some fairly petite ladies who can kick my butt six ways to Sunday and show up to church smelling like a rose. Bobcats only weigh about 15 to 30 pounds, but I would never willingly tangle with one. Heck, your average really pissed-off housecat can give humans a rough time!
A well-trained, 140 lb human female can kill you deader than a doornail with her bare hands before you know what hit you.
Then again, so can I (my gun's only for show... "ahem")
Disregard last - sheer bravado.
