On June 26, at about 8:30 p.m., a 35-year-old man is reported to lure his way into a woman's vehicle in Dale City (San Mateo), California by asking if he could borrow jumper cables to start his car.
The offender proceeded to jumped into the woman's vehicle, where he took out a knife and told the woman to drive down a side street.
When the man demanded sex, the quick-thinking woman managed convince the would-be rapist to remove a child car seat from her back seat to "give them more room for sex."
While the offender did as suggested, the intended victim jumped from the car and ran off. The suspect was reportedly arrested later in the stolen vehicle.

Lured with free iPod
Luckily the intended victim was aware of the set-up - being able to spot this legitimate nut-case before things got terribly out of hand.
And I do really wonder if the defense lawyers really believe in the unbelievable dribble that some times tend to fall, like perfectly polished manure, out of their mouths?
Read and judge for yourself ... and weep accordingly. "Just a rape fantasy..." my a**!

Clever
New Jersey -- A man police say may be responsible for a string of sexual assaults in South Jersey have been arrested, according to myfoxphilly.com.
Several women reportedly have been lured to a vacant home in rural Salem County. A suspect then raped or attempted to rape them inside the home, officials said.
Thursday night, a woman was able to get away with a crucial piece of evidence. A neighbor said "She broke his glasses to get away from him and she said he couldn't see, so he wasn't able to come after her."
When police arrived at the scene, they found the suspect looking for glasses which had been taken off his face by the intended victim.

More quick thinking
I seriously wonder what goes to these guys head? Do they think that flashing a knife, and attempting to rape someone is romance?
Story:
Philippines -- Police said a driver allegedly tried to rape a 27-year-old woman in his taxi on Saturday night in Quezon City (Manila).
The woman told investigators how she boarded the taxi at around 8 p.m. Saturday. Soon, all the passengers, except for her, got off at the Metro Rail Transit station in Kamuning.
"The woman was sitting in the back seat, and the driver asked her to sit beside him in the front," a police spokesman said.
When she did so, the woman said the driver showed a knife, and started to touch her breasts.
The woman said she told the man that she would go with him to a hotel if they could eat first at a fast food diner nearby.
Inside the restaurant, the woman promptly asked the security guard for help. The driver managed to run back to his van and escaped. Police believe that the driver also had victimized other female passengers.

Bait and switch
This method is quite often used by scam and fraud "artists". The classic case is to have you believe you buy an original, say, watch - and then switch to a fake once you have handed over your money.
As with most methods, it can be turned and utilised against the criminal. Here is one such case.
It also goes to show that these folks are not always the sharpest knife in the drawer...

A secret password
Minnesota -- Two young Rochester students (first and second grade) said a man approached them Wednesday afternoon as they were walking to their day care after school according to kttc.com.
The unknown man reportedly told Isabel and her friend that they were supposed to go home with him. The two young girls ran away and made it home safely.
The youngest girl's mom says a code word may actually have saved the girls' lives. When the man told the girls they were supposed to go home with him, the second grader asked 'what's my password?' when he provided the wrong answer she started screaming and they ran away.
The girl and her mom picked out the code word just in case someone other than she had to pick her up.

There were red flags
Oregon -- On May 24, 2004, just before allegedly kidnapping, raping and killing a 19-year-old college student, the 40-year-old suspected killer stalked and then approached two other women near Oregon State University. He then tried to lure them into his van, prosecutors say. He intended to rape and kill them, too, a Benton County District Attorney said.
The man tried to coax the women, both OSU students at the time, close to the van. But the women, who were alone, sensed trouble.
"There were red flags," the District Attorney said. "He tried to engage them with conversation and conduct that clearly establishes that he is trying to lure them into the van, but he just can't get within striking distance."
The victim was last seen about 10 a.m. May 24, 2004, cleaning lampposts in the parking lot of apartments managed by her brother-in-law near the Corvallis campus. Police and thousands of friends and strangers searched unsuccessfully for her for two weeks. Her body has not been found.

Fake heart attack
Maine -- A convicted rapist is in custody after an elderly woman says he attacked her and tried to rape her. The attack happened Sunday night at a house in Hampden.
The woman was watching the Super Bowl when she saw a man walk through her house. When she yelled at him, the man attacked her from behind. The attacker then forced her to the bedroom.
Police say that's when the woman faked a heart attack, causing her assailant to panic and try to flee. The woman called the police and he was quickly caught while sitting idly in his vehicle on a nearby road.
In 1984, the man was charged with first degree rape in Alabama and sentenced to 15 years.
The woman was not injured in the attack. Police say her quick thinking by faking a heart attack likely kept her from being sexually assaulted.

To gain access
This is a very common method, used to gain access to a residence.
Story:
Ireland -- A man is sought by gardai (Irish police) for an attempted rape in Ferrybank, Graiguecullen on Thursday, between 11:35 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
Further information suggests he may have attempted to strike before.
The woman said the man gained entry to the apartment when he claimed to be a plumber. Once inside he pretended to examine a heater before he went into the kitchen and got a knife.
He then pinned the terrified woman to the wall, threatening to kill her if she didn't take her clothes off.
The screams of the intended victim startled her attacker and he fled from the scene.

Common trick
This is a common ploy, used by carjackers, robbers, rapists and other criminals.
The safest advice is to think twice before stopping where the person/s in the vehicle behind you want you to pull over!
Chula Vista, California -- Police were looking for a man suspected of trying to rape a 19-year-old motorist Tuesday afternoon after she said he feigned an emergency to lure her out of her car.
The female told police she had been driving on Broadway when she noticed a car directly behind her flashing its lights. She pulled over and got out of her car, because she thought there was something wrong with it, police said.
The driver jumped out of his car as soon as she did, she said, then grabbed her and forced her into her rear seat and began fondling her. She said she struggled and pushed him out. Then she locked her doors, and he drove off, police said.

The secret seconds
Here's another great article about how kidnappers/sexual predators operate. Recommended reading!
Story:
Jacksonville, Florida -- "Right here, here, are scars from the handcuffs. There is a scar there and a scar right there." It's been four years and Heather Kangas still bears the scars of being kidnapped from her bus stop. "I know he lived not even 10 miles down the road from where I was standing. I believed it was like one of those perfect times. There was nobody on the roads, nobody could see."
Police say Timothy Oberlander grabbed Heather handcuffed her and drove off. In audio tapes never released to the public until now. We hear Oberlander admit to a jail house informant why he chose Heather.

Just ask!
I guess if you ask nicely, anything is possible :-)
Story:
New York -- A 23-year-old Yonkers woman escaped from a would-be rapist when she persuaded him to pick up some books she had dropped, then ran away as he retrieved them, police said.
The assailant told her that he would shoot her if she screamed. The woman felt a gun he was carrying against her back.
She asked the attacker to pick up the books. He bent over to collect them and the woman ran up the steps into the apartment building.

Presence of mind
India -- It was presence of mind that saved cardiologist K.R.K.S. Raju of Yousufguda from falling a prey to an extortion gang. The suspects, who were arrested on Thursday on the charge of kidnapping a real estate agent from Banjara Hills, tried to abduct Dr. Raju too. A few days ago, a member of the gang called up the doctor on his mobile phone claiming to be a police officer.
Dr. Raju was about to go to the hospital then. Saying he was an Assistant Commissioner of Police with the Intelligence wing, the caller requested him to come to his place to treat a patient. "Soon after I hung up the phone explaining that I cannot come, six persons posing as policemen drove in two vehicles to my house," the doctor explained.
As the doctor sat in his car to go to his hospital, one of them approached him saying their ACP had called up and gave a mobile phone. The caller said he was ACP Krishna Prasad and requested him to come in the car sent with the 'constables.'
"This is a security precaution doctor," the caller said.
But Dr. Raju grew suspicious since none of them wore police uniform. What strengthened his suspicion was the Tata Indica car in which the six persons came. "Police don't use Indica cars. I also found colour sprinkled over its number plate making it difficult to recognise the number," he said. Then, he made it clear that he cannot go with them and the gang members left.

Wal-Mart(ial) arts
Here's another report from a Wal-Mart parking lot in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (may seem like rather high-risk places...).
There are two contrasting sides to this incident.
First: The intended victim managed to keep her head cool, tricking her attacker to settle for her purse.
On the other side it is so typical (for women) to have everything but the kitchen sink in their purse. Not a big deal until someone gets hold of said purse.
The robber here now has (potentially) access to three homes, as well as credit information about the woman!
Story:
Tennessee -- A woman escaped an attempted kidnapping by a knife-wielding man Tuesday night when she offered her purse to the unknown suspect, Murfreesboro Police reported.
The 22-year-old woman was loading groceries into her car in a Wal-Mart parking lot at about 10:28 p.m. when the robber stuck a knife to her rib cage.
"He said, 'Don't scream. Get in the truck,'" the woman said. "He was trying to get me to get into the truck.
He wasn't after my purse. I was trying my best not to let him see that he scared the p... out of me. I tried to stay calm."
The victim told the robber that she had a purse with a lot of money in it, and the man took it and ran.
The purse held $26 in cash; a Bank of America ATM card; two Bank of America blank starter checks; a Tennessee Credit Union credit card; a driver's license; and keys to the victim's home and car, her mother's home and her boyfriend's apartment.

Fork off!
A great example of using whatever is at hand to fight back.
It also shows that any weapon can be taken away from you. This goes for the perpetrator as well as the victim! In another recent attempted rape case from Colorado, the intended victim took the knife away from the attacker and fought back.
Story:
A South Peoria man was arrested Monday for allegedly trying to rape a 17-year-old girl, then firing a gun at her as she ran away from his house.
About 11 p.m. Sunday he lured the victim into his home, promising her that her girlfriend was inside. He then allegedly pushed her down, pulled off her pants and underwear, and tried to have sex with her. There was no penetration.
As the victim fought the man off, she grabbed a fork laying nearby and stabbed him repeatedly in the neck, police said. He then grabbed the fork from her and stabbed her in the right hand.
The girl was able to free herself from the man when he left to get his gun. As she ran down the alley, the assailant fired at her six times.
The girl "heard bullets go past her head," police said. She was not seriously injured and declined medical treatment.
The suspect was taken to a medical center for treatment of the fork wounds and later arrested there by police.
