"I was in a gift shop when I was around 13 and my family had gone to the bathroom. All the sudden, I heard this noise behind me. It was this old guy, who I swear looked exactly like Charles Manson-swastika forehead tattoo, crazy eyes, long scraggly hair and beard, etc. He was looking right at me, playing with this noisemaker thing for sale. He walked over to me and said, "Would you like anything? I will buy you anything you like. Just come with me." I smiled nervously and walked away, but he followed me and told me he'd like to take me home. I walked away; the guy was about to follow me, but then he saw my mom come out of the bathroom and he bolted. To this day I've never told my parents.

Maybe he was just a nice old man. But, after pondering for a while, I came to the conclusion that nice old men do not try to bribe young girls into coming home with them."
