Dubai is a great place to be "from" like the rest of the Middle East! When we took off from Al Ain, we got the gear up and locked indication and everything in the green. I never looked back.

Guess I should say attempts.

Stuff about carts by your car, bags on the mirror......
The one in East Freedom all the time.

However, no one ever goes missing.

I'm starting to feel bad for the kidnappers. They try to snatch someone about twice a week. Been doing it for 5 years, no success. They need a new gig.


Crazy how impressed by themselves some are, and how bad they seek attention.
Never heard of any police reports there either.

That happened to me on Thursday in Canada!!!!

Some East Indian drove up to me in his Van, blocking my exit, with a woman sitting beside him, as I was getting in my car he said "I am out of gas, can you fill up my car I will give you my gold ring" and he stuck out his hand with a big gold ring on his finger.

WTF, I thought to myself. I said to him, sorry my friend I only have cards and I do not have cash, good luck"

Exactly. I always see those bullshìt posts and roll my eyes when people repost and share them.
"Dont stop if you see a car seat on the side of the road because it's a trap."
"Police are telling people to be aware of anyone finding a 20 dollar bill under their wiper blade because kidnappers will grab you when you go to get it."
"People are putting fentanyl under the door handle of cars."

Yeah fuggin right.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I only got a partial plate number starting with 8TM. I tried to get into my vehicle to follow for a complete plate number but they left at a high rate of speed. Dispatch said there were no officers available (even when I told them I was armed) since the suspects left. Walmart usually has PCSD as security but they were not on-site yet. I did not wait for any officers since I have other priorities. This happened about 30 min ago."

Note that the victim was "armed" by their own admission yet never used whatever it was they carried.

I also find it strange that PCSD was not on site as they show a presence every day. They've always been there every time I've shopped there. PCSD = Pima County Sheriffs Department. They usually have a few extra deputies on site on the week end starting with Friday.

Be very interesting to learn what that was all about.

No PCSD response because they were all at the road rage shooting on the NE side of town.

Dude, I was raised in that neighborhood, and when I go back there to visit some of my old Pards, I don't even get out of my vehicle without my Warthog in my back pocket. Place used to be a good safe place back in the '60s and '70s, although the area was considered the wrong side of town, we made the best of it. The place got really rough due to illegal immigration where the a-holes from across the border come and crap the place up knowing they can drive 55 miles to Mexico and lay low til the heat is off and come back and eff up all over again. Be careful. there are mofos that will kill you just to brag about it to their friends later. Most of us got out, but still have some really good friends in the hood.

not where I expected to hear about a road rage incident, unless a lost Bandido got cutoff by a BMW?

That B terminal at Dubai is something to behold. Something like Ma and Pa Kettle go to Africa. Everything they own is piled on a cart waiting to get loaded into the airplane's hold.

What I learned from this thread, stay out of Walmart parking lots, which I already knew.
