When I was 19 I was waiting at a bus stop alone to go see my boyfriend who lived a few towns away. A man in his mid to late 40's pulled up to me and asked if I wanted a ride. This is basically how it went:

Him: hey, would you like a ride? I'm going as far as Salt Lake. Me: no thanks, the bus should be here soon. Him: awe come on, I'm a nice guy! Me: I said no thank you. I'm sure you're a nice guy but I don't know you so I'm not getting in your car. Him: (he notices my nose piercing) I like your nose ring. Do you have any other piercings you want to show me? Me: no I don't. now leave me the fuck alone before I call the cops!

It was at the point that he drove off in a hurry before I even considered writing down his plate numbers. The bu arrived shortly after that and I told my boyfriend about the whole thing. A few days later there was a local new story about a man fitting his exact physical description along with his blue sedan who had been abducting teen girls and sexually assaulting them. He hadn't been caught yet. We don't know if he was ever caught. To this day I wish i had written down the plate number.

TLDR: I was nearly abducted by a possible rapist when I was 18:
